When is the right age to do circumcision?

Many parents will encounter a problem. Their children will have foreskin that is too long after puberty, or even from birth. Parents certainly want to perform circumcision surgery on their children as soon as possible, but many parents do not know when is the appropriate time to do it without causing harm to their children's bodies. Let us learn about this article in the following article.

An excessively long foreskin is very harmful to men, so if the foreskin is too long, it is better to have surgery to cut off the excess part. Many people want to know what is the appropriate age for circumcision. Let’s ask the experts to introduce it to you.

The age at which circumcision is performed also depends on the condition of the disease. If the foreskin is incarcerated, it must be immediately repositioned manually or surgically. Surgery is necessary and must be performed as soon as possible. If the foreskin of a child is too long, it is best to have the surgery before school age. If the child is an adult, it is recommended to have the foreskin removed before marriage.

From a physiological point of view, the foreskin is too long in childhood due to young age and incomplete physical development. About two-thirds or even 70%-80% of children aged 6 or 7 have the condition of too long foreskin. So before puberty, the penis has not yet developed, so the foreskin appears longer. During puberty, the penis develops and the prostate grows, so the foreskin does not appear long anymore, so parents should not worry too much.

The best age for circumcision is usually from the age of 12 to before marriage (or sexual life), but some experts also say that the best time is when you are 12 or 13 years old. I hope parents will also pay attention to this.

The above introduces to parents when is the appropriate age for circumcision surgery. It is still recommended that you wait until the child is a little older before performing circumcision surgery. In normal times, parents should pay more attention to the child's hygiene to prevent circumcision infection.
