Many circumcised patients are recommended to be circumcised as early as possible because it is less harmful to the body. So, what is the best age for circumcision? It is generally accepted that the best age for circumcision is from the age of 12 years old, before marriage (or sexual intercourse). However, experienced surgeons believe that there is also an optimal time during this period, namely at the age of 12 or 13. The reason why this is the best age for circumcision is that, from a physiological point of view, juvenile circumcision is due to young age and incomplete physical development. About two-thirds or even 70-80% of preschoolers are circumcised from the age of 6 or 7. Because the penis of children is not yet pubescent, the penis has not yet developed, the foreskin appears longer. In the event that the penis develops and the prostate gland grows, the foreskin will not look long. If your child is at puberty and has a long foreskin, you need to seek medical attention early for early treatment and recovery, and don’t miss the best age for circumcision.
