At what age is it better to have a circumcision surgery on a baby?

Among the male reproductive organ abnormalities, prepuce is a common one, and its harm is relatively large. Prepuce is divided into congenital and acquired. If male friends have such diseases and do not receive timely treatment, if they continue to have sex, it is easy for women to have cervical erosion or uterine cancer. It is also important for children. So at what age is it appropriate for children to do circumcision surgery?

The foreskin is a remnant organ of human evolution and has certain reasons and functions. If the protective function of the foreskin is overexerted, it will have an adverse effect. The foreskin is adhered to the glans penis, the foreskin opening is narrow, the foreskin cannot be turned down, and the urethra opening and glans penis cannot be exposed. This is medically called phimosis.

1. The general expansion of the foreskin opening is for mild phimosis. It can be expanded in a conscious state without anesthesia, and the patient's foreskin is turned down to separate the adhesion between the glans and the foreskin, exposing the glans to the coronal sulcus, and clearing the patient's smegma. After that, parents should turn the foreskin over by hand to clean it every day.

2. Circumcision of the external opening of the foreskin. This operation is suitable for patients with severe stenosis of the external opening of the foreskin or patients with recurrent stenosis of the external opening of the foreskin after expansion. However, this operation is simple to perform and is suitable for emergency situations such as severe foreskin infection and foreskin incarceration. The disadvantage is that the foreskin is not beautiful after healing.

3. Circumcision is the most commonly used and most widely adopted surgery at home and abroad. It has a good effect in treating phimosis and redundant foreskin. Although the surgical methods are slightly different, they all involve circular resection of the excessive foreskin to completely expose the glans. The dead space between the patient's foreskin and the glans must be kept clean.

After reading the above content, I believe that most friends have some understanding of pediatric circumcision. I hope that the editor’s introduction will be helpful to you. If the foreskin is too long and no surgery is performed, it will greatly affect the normal sexual life. Children should not go to the hospital for circumcision too early, because the child’s resistance is relatively poor and early surgery is bad for the body.
