Patient's question:
My son had occasional pain in his penis recently, and I noticed that his penis doesn't stand up very well. So, I took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said he has severe phimosis. I asked the doctor if he could have the surgery done. The doctor said he needs to wait until he is 8-9 years old. He is still not 7 years old now. I asked the doctor how old he should be to have the surgery done.Doctor's answer:
Hello, phimosis or paraphimosis requires surgical removal of the excess foreskin, and this surgery itself does not affect the development of the penis, so there is no need to worry about this. However, considering your age, your penis should have already reached full development, so it is unlikely to continue growing after the surgery. As everyone knows, phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid consuming irritating foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
