When is it appropriate to have a circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

The child is already 7 years old this year. The doctor diagnosed it as phimosis and recommended surgery. Can the child have the surgery now?

Doctor's answer:

The impact of phimosis on children is relatively minor when they are young, but once they enter puberty, it can affect the development of their penis. In severe cases, it may even lead to the condition of a shortened penis. It is recommended to have the circumcision surgery performed as early as possible before the child enters puberty to avoid affecting their development. Wishing you good health!
