How old should a child be to have a circumcision surgery? Which department should be consulted?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and I have recently been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took isn't very effective. Could you please tell me at what age is it appropriate for children to have a circumcision? What department should I consult?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the timing of choosing circumcision depends on the condition. If phimosis occurs, manual reduction and surgical reduction should be performed immediately. Patients with phimosis must undergo surgery and should do so as soon as possible. For children with excessive foreskin, it is best to have the surgery before they start school. Adults with excessive foreskin are advised to have it removed before marriage.
Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, do not panic. You should take your child to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, ensure regular check-ups for your child and follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic treatment.
