What are the serious consequences of not treating phimosis in a timely manner?

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, if you have excessive foreskin, it can easily lead to local hygiene issues or affect normal sexual life. You can go to the hospital for a circumcision surgical treatment. This surgery is relatively simple and can be hospitalized on the same day. Proper hygiene and anti-inflammatory care are sufficient.
