At what age is it appropriate to perform circumcision surgery on children?

Female genital cleaning is very important for women, and male genital cleaning is also very important, especially for some underage children at home. This requires parents to help them in normal times, or tell them to pay attention to the cleanliness of the foreskin in normal times. If you find that your child has some foreskin that is too long, you need to perform a circumcision, but when is the best time to perform the circumcision?

Especially in the hot and humid weather that is common in summer, an excessively long foreskin can easily cause trouble. If the foreskin is not turned over for two or three days to be cleaned, smegma will form, breeding bacteria, causing the foreskin to become frequently infected and inflamed. Smegma is the main cause of penile cancer. Therefore, it is very important for men to pay attention to hygiene and keep the area clean and dry.

Circumcision is mainly to remove the excessively long foreskin. Since circumcision is a minor surgery, hospitalization is generally not required and it only takes about ten minutes!

The prevalence of phimosis among Chinese men is high. Data shows that among adult men in my country, 29% have foreskin that is too long. Whether to perform circumcision or not depends on whether phimosis occurs or the foreskin is too tight after erection and the glans is not easily exposed. The surgery is best performed before puberty, between the ages of 10 and 14, to avoid restricting the development of the penis.

Children must pay more attention to care after circumcision surgery. If they are not paid enough attention to care, the wound will easily become infected. This requires parents to pay attention to cleaning the wound with clean water regularly and dress the children in loose clothes. They should not let the children wear tight clothes.

Through the above content, I believe that the majority of parents and friends have some understanding of the need for circumcision to treat children with excessive foreskin. It is best not to send children to the hospital for circumcision too early, because the child is too young and his body's resistance is relatively poor. On the contrary, premature circumcision is not good for the child's health. However, this depends on the child's physical constitution.
