When is the right time to have a circumcision?

Parents should not worry too much about congenital prepuce in infancy and early childhood. If it is difficult to urinate or bulge when urinating, then you can first go to a professional urology department and just have an outpatient circumcision adhesion removal. If you don’t have any symptoms, you don’t need to deal with it for now. From the age of three to four, the foreskin can be repeatedly retracted towards the root of the penis to expand the foreskin opening. This process should be done gently, and each time should be appropriate so as not to cause pain and disgust to the child.

When the head of the penis is exposed and then clean the white prepuce, then restore the foreskin, otherwise it will cause encrustation. For how to treat prepuce well, patients who have tight foreskin mouth, can not be turned up or acquired prepuce should undergo circumcision or circumcision.

The surgery should be performed at the age of 4-13, because at this time it is possible to see if the foreskin can recede on its own. This is because the child can communicate well with the doctor at that time and can be treated with local anesthesia. It is generally not advisable to do the surgery too early because the child is too young to know how to cooperate and also it has the possibility of receding on its own. However, if there are recurrent infections, or if there is already scar formation, or if there is an ingrown prepuce, there is usually no age limit.
