Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What age can one get a circumcision?Doctor's answer:
Generally, circumcision can be performed on individuals over the age of 12. Excessive foreskin, due to chronic irritation from urine and smegma over a long period, can lead to balanoposthitis, causing swelling, congestion, erosion of the foreskin mucosa, repeated cross-infection, and even phimosis. If not treated promptly, the inflammation can spread upwards along the reproductive tract, causing inflammation of the prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis. Additionally, it can be transmitted to sexual partners during intercourse. Furthermore, it may also lead to premature ejaculation.
