How old should a child be for circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

My aunt's child is 4 years old this year. He has phimosis but it cannot be confirmed whether it is also balanitis. If it is, I would like to ask what age is appropriate for the surgery?

Doctor's answer:

If a child is four years old, it is considered appropriate to have the circumcision surgery. It is recommended that you have the circumcision surgery for your child in a timely manner. Otherwise, if it is delayed until adulthood, there may be a recurrence of inflammation of the foreskin, and the problem may become more serious at that time. After the surgery, it is important to pay attention to local hygiene. Additionally, in daily life, the patient should maintain a balanced intake of nutrients, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise the body, and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate the recovery process.
