Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old and has some excessive foreskin. I particularly want to know the best age for a circumcision surgery and how long it generally takes to heal.Doctor's answer:
Penile resection is generally suitable for individuals over 12 years old. Due to chronic irritation from urine and smegma, phimosis can lead to balanoposthitis, causing edema, congestion, erosion, repeated cross-infection, and even phimotic paraphimosis. If left untreated, the inflammation can ascend along the reproductive tract, leading to inflammation of the prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis. It can also be transmitted to sexual partners during intercourse. Additionally, it may cause premature ejaculation.We recommend visiting a hospital to undergo the Korean-style circumcision procedure. This method has a high success rate, with the entire surgery taking only 15 minutes to complete. The result is neat and aesthetically pleasing, promoting better hygiene, health, and development. It significantly improves sexual quality of life without any side effects. The procedure is safe, convenient, and allows patients to leave immediately after treatment, without affecting work or studies.
