Patient's question:
My son has a slightly long foreskin, so we are planning to take him for surgery. However, before the surgery, we came up with a question. Our son is only 16 years old now, and we are a bit worried about whether this surgery is suitable for his age. Can a circumcision be performed on someone so young?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 16, it is acceptable to have a circumcision. Otherwise, it may affect military physical examinations due to excessive foreskin, resulting in disqualification. Male reproductive health conditions can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues, focusing on a light diet. It is hoped that male reproductive health patients can receive professional treatment. Additionally, it is beneficial for physical development, and the surgery can be performed early.
