Patient's question:
My son is now 1.5 years old. I have noticed that his foreskin is a bit long for a long time, but I haven't taken him to the hospital to check it. I'm worried it might affect his development. What should I do about a child with an overly long foreskin? Is surgery necessary?Doctor's answer:
Hello, painless circumcision surgery is generally performed using intravenous propofol for general anesthesia. The surgery can usually be completed while the patient sleeps, so naturally, there will be no sensation of pain. However, it is generally recommended not to opt for a painless procedure, as propofol is not very good for children.
