Patient's question:
Does a 10-year-old boy need a circumcision?Doctor's answer:
The best time for circumcision is after the age of 8, and the earlier the surgery, the better. This mainly helps avoid balanitis and urinary-genital infections caused by the accumulation of smegma, as well as preventing the constriction of the glans penis from affecting its development. It is a beneficial and harmless procedure for men.Now that your child is 10 years old, it is perfectly suitable for this surgery. I believe most people are aware of the significant harm that phimosis and phimosis can cause to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
