Regarding whether to have surgery for phimosis and paraphimosis

Patient's question:

I recently don't know what's wrong with my lower body, it's very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. I'm asking whether I need surgery for phimosis.

Doctor's answer:

It is essential to have the circumcision surgery for phimosis. Generally, the earlier it is done, the better. However, since the child is too young, it is usually recommended to wait until they are at least 13 years old before undergoing the surgery. Most cases of phimosis are caused by hereditary factors. If phimosis is not treated, it can interfere with future sexual activity and may lead to bacterial growth, causing many diseases. It is important to pay close attention to the child's hygiene, change their clothes and underwear frequently, and ensure they get enough physical activity.
