Patient's question:
Male, 30 years old. To be honest, it's a bit embarrassing, but my penis is a bit small, and I also don't experience sexual pleasure when having sex with my girlfriend. I feel it might be due to my phimosis, so I want to consider getting surgery. Could you please tell me what is the best age for phimosis surgery?Doctor's answer:
If the patient has phimosis, we generally recommend circumcision. Circumcision is a relatively low-risk and easy-to-perform surgery, and many hospitals can carry it out very well. The best age for circumcision, we usually suggest that it should be completed before the onset of adolescence during puberty, which is beneficial for his growth and development. If adults suffer from frequent recurrent balanoposthitis, they can also undergo circumcision. The best time for circumcision, we generally recommend from late spring to mid-autumn, as this is when people wear fewer clothes, making postoperative care more convenient, and recovery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks.
