Best age for phimosis surgery

In daily life, many adult men often suffer from the problem of long foreskin. Although long foreskin is not a disease, it can easily cause some male diseases. Adult men with long foreskin are very prone to premature ejaculation when they are living as a couple. Also, if you don't pay much attention to hygiene, it will easily lead to the growth of urine scale. Excessive foreskin and long-term irritation of the glans penis by urine scale can easily cause balanitis. If bacteria enter the urinary system through the urethral opening, it is very easy to affect the quality of sperm, which is also one of the primary conditions for infertility in many men.

Parents must pay attention to the problem of excessive foreskin in little boys. Relatively speaking, excessive foreskin has a greater negative impact on the human body than long foreskin. After the problem of excessive foreskin occurs, it is easy to cause the male genitals and glans of the penis to be completely encapsulated. Not only is it easy to cause the child to have symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, and painful urination, in severe cases, it may even affect the child's male development. Therefore, parents must take their children to a regular hospital for examination immediately. The doctor will perform circumcision according to the child's actual condition.

Generally, when a boy reaches the age of five or six, if the glans of the penis is still not exposed from the overlong foreskin, it can be judged as long foreskin or overlong foreskin. At this stage, the child can also be circumcised immediately. Because children's body metabolism is relatively strong, their body recovery rate will be faster after surgery. The most important thing is that if the circumcision is completed before the child enters puberty, it will not cause shortness or joint problems in the male genitals due to underdevelopment.

After reading the above introduction, parents and friends believe that they already know the best age for phimosis treatment in boys. Circumcision is not recommended for children under the age of five because the child's body resistance and immunity are still relatively low at this time. If you blindly follow the trend and perform surgery on your children, it will cause certain harm to your physical and mental health. It is best to wait until the child is five or six years old before performing surgical treatment, because this stage can determine whether the child has pathological foreskin growth or excessive foreskin growth.
