Patient's question:
The child is three years old. A few days ago, they had a physical examination at the hospital. The doctor said there was phimosis.Doctor's answer:
Most normal boys are circumcised. Circumcision is not a surgical indication. A narrowed preputial orifice that cannot be retracted is a surgical indication. Scarred phimosis after repeated infections is also a surgical indication. In simpler terms, only the above two conditions should be considered for surgery. There is also a condition of excessive prepuce, which is recommended to wait until the child develops before determining whether surgery is needed!
