Patient's question:
Yesterday, I took my son to the hospital for a vaccination and a health check-up. After the check-up, the doctor said my son has phimosis. Because my husband also has phimosis, the doctor told me about it when I took my son for a vaccination last year. The doctor also said that when my son starts second grade, he can have the circumcision surgery. For this reason, I am quite worried about my child.Doctor's answer:
Hello, for infants or children with phimosis or excessive prepuce, it is generally ideal to undergo circumcision between the ages of 7-8. In some developed countries, boys must undergo circumcision at the age of 7, which significantly reduces the incidence of reproductive organ diseases in adult males. If an adult male has excessive prepuce, he should seek medical attention and undergo circumcision as early as possible. The surgical area must be kept clean. It is recommended to have the child undergo circumcision at the appropriate time to avoid affecting the growth of their sexual organs.
