Patient's question:
My son has excessive foreskin, and he urinates normally, but his glans is not easily exposed. Recently, he said urination is very painful. Using physiological saline for external washing hasn't helped much. The doctor recommended surgery, and I want to know if it's suitable for a child of his age.What kind of help I need: What is the best age for a circumcision surgery?
Doctor's answer:
In the circumcision procedure, the vascular ends between the inner and outer plates often retract proximally. They must be identified and ligated to prevent the formation of a large hematoma.2. The foreskin must not be cut excessively to avoid painful penile erection. Generally, the inner plate of the foreskin should be trimmed to about 0.5 cm away from the corona. The frenulum must also not be left too short.
The above are suggestions for your question. Wishing you good health!
