Should I have a circumcision?

Patient's question:

My little brother hasn't developed yet (I'm healthy, just developed slowly). Whether he's erect or not, you can't see the foreskin. The foreskin opening is narrow, and even if I push it with my hand, I can't see the foreskin. (I'm timid, and surgery might cause severe psychological stress. I try to avoid surgery as much as possible.)

Doctor's answer:

If you undergo a circumcision procedure, you should use warm water or a high-manganese potassium permanganate solution with a concentration of 1:5000 to clean the penis area 3 days before the surgery. After the surgery, in addition to the medication mentioned above to prevent penile erection, bleeding, and inflammation, you should also pay attention to keeping the bandage and dressing dry. If it gets wet with urine, it should be replaced promptly. The stitches are usually removed 5-7 days after the surgery.
I believe most people know that phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to men, so it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—opt for a light diet and avoid foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
