How should phimosis be treated?

Patient's question:

The foreskin of my son seems to be too long. It was discovered when he was very young, but the doctor said the child was still too young and treatment wasn't necessary. Surgery could be done before he fully develops. Now that he is almost ten years old, I think he is probably old enough for the surgery. If this continues, I'm afraid it will affect various aspects of his future.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in a natural state, the glans cannot be fully exposed, but during cleaning, it can be revealed by flipping it with the hand. This is considered phimosis. If the glans cannot be revealed by flipping it with the hand, it is classified as paraphimosis. Whether it is phimosis or paraphimosis, from the perspective of preventing infection and improving sexual quality of life, it is recommended to have surgery as early as possible. We suggest you visit our department of reproductive and plastic surgery for consultation. We use the Korean-style circumcison technique, which takes only 15 minutes to complete, resulting in a neat and beautiful appearance. It is beneficial for hygiene, health, and development, and significantly improves the quality of sexual life.
