Patient's question:
What is the most suitable age for a child to undergo a circumcision surgery?Doctor's answer:
Children undergoing circumcision surgery require general anesthesia, but improper surgery may affect the development of the penis. Therefore, if it does not affect urination, the surgery can be performed after puberty (after the age of 15) with local anesthesia. However, it is especially important to maintain cleanliness and undergo regular check-ups to prevent the foreskin from adhering to the glans, which could affect the surgical outcome. However, if there is frequent inflammation, the surgery should be performed as early as possible.
