Patient's question:
During the check-up this year, the doctor recommended that if I want to have a baby, I should get circumcised.Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition where, in adult males, the foreskin covers the glans, preventing it from being fully exposed. Balanitis preputialis refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans, with the glans never being exposed at any time. Both phimosis and balanitis can lead to premature ejaculation, anejaculation, cancer, and impaired glans development. It is crucial to choose the optimal time for circumcision, as phimosis or balanitis can hinder reproductive organ development, resulting in poor development and potentially leading to genital shortening. Therefore, the best time for circumcision should be after the child is 10 years old. It is recommended to seek early treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
