When is it appropriate for a child to have circumcision?

Patient's question:

Sometimes it's difficult to urinate and uncomfortable. At the age of three, it might be due to poor hygiene. About the past treatment and effectiveness: No thorough examination was conducted. Sometimes metronidazole was used to clean him. What kind of help is desired: What are the characteristics of phimosis in children? What are the harms? When should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hypospadias refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the glans when the penis is flaccid. Due to the inability to promptly and thoroughly clean the secretions of the inner foreskin, bacteria can grow and adapt here, leading to an accumulation of smegma, odor, and, in severe cases, local inflammation, known as balanoposthitis. Therefore, from a modern medical perspective, circumcision is better than leaving the foreskin intact. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital with the necessary conditions to undergo a circumcision. This procedure is now possible. Best wishes!
