Patient's question:
My son just turned 7 years old. He had two bumps on his penis, so I took him to the hospital. The doctor said it was smegma and recommended a circumcision. There was no inflammation on his penis. As parents, we all want to minimize our children's pain as much as possible. Is this surgery absolutely necessary?Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the urethral meatus when the penis is flaccid, but can be retracted to expose the glans; if the foreskin cannot be retracted to expose the glans, it is called phimosis. In both cases, it is recommended to undergo surgery to prevent inflammation! Surgery is the best way to treat phimosis or phimosis. The above advice is for the question "Is it necessary for my son to have a circumcision at the age of 7?", hoping it helps you, and wishing you good health!
