How old can a boy be circumcised

Circumcision is a male disease, mainly because the foreskin is too long and the glans cannot be exposed when the foreskin is turned up, boys can be circumcised at the age of 8-10. If the foreskin is long, can be turned up and does not reveal the glans, it is called circumcision. The main harm of circumcision is that it is more difficult to clean, and many metabolic wastes may be stored between the foreskin and glans, which stimulates inflammation of the glans, and repeated stimulation of inflammation can lead to the occurrence of penile cancer, so children with long foreskin should undergo surgery. The difficulty of the surgery is usually not a problem, mainly because of the age group, as it is considered that the surgery should be performed under local anesthesia. If local anesthesia is required, the child should be able to tolerate the local pain, and the child should actively cooperate with the anesthesia. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use local anesthesia, and the best age group is 8-10 years old or older. It is recommended that patients pay strict attention to rest after surgery, ensure adequate sleep, avoid getting cold, pay attention to the cleanliness of the wound, do not frequently stimulate the genitals, but also a balanced diet, in order to get an early recovery.
