Must circumcision be treated surgically?

Circumcision does not necessarily require surgical treatment, and the decision needs to be made on a patient-by-patient basis. If there is no narrowing of the external opening of the foreskin, that is, if there is no prepuce, circumcision may not be performed. children before the age of 4 years are in the state of physiological prepuce, so circumcision treatment is not performed before the age of 4 years. If the circumcision does not improve effectively after the age of 4, circumcision can be completed before school age. If the circumcision is simply too long and is not accompanied by local adhesions, local infection, narrowing of the external opening and other conditions that restrict the growth of the glans, it is only necessary to maintain local hygiene, and circumcision is not necessarily necessary. Circumcision treatment can reduce the probability of local infection by reducing the accumulation of local secretions and urine residue, and circumcision can also reduce the probability of penile cancer in circumcised patients. However, not all circumcisions need to be treated surgically, as long as local cleanliness and hygiene can be maintained, surgery can be avoided.
