Patient's question:
The child is 13 years old this year. Recently, it was found that the child has excessive foreskin. Can it be surgically treated? What is the approximate cost?Doctor's answer:
Hello, excessive foreskin is prone to retaining smegma, which can cause balanitis and balanoposthitis when it stimulates the glans penis, especially the corona region, for a long time. Additionally, prolonged stimulation of the glans by the foreskin can increase its sensitivity, leading to premature ejaculation. It is also easy to develop phimosis during sexual activity. Considering the prevention of infection and improvement of sexual quality, it is recommended to undergo circumcision as early as possible. You can have the surgery in a formal hospital.
