The network is more and more developed, the information transmission is more and more convenient, and the understanding of the redundant prepuce is also more and more. Even some parents cut the prepuce of their children when their children are three or four years old. The medical conditions in small clinics are limited, and infection inflammation is emerging in endlessly. So how old can men be to have prepuce surgery?
1. How old can I have circumcision
Children generally choose to undergo prepuce surgery at the age of 12 to 15 during puberty, not too early. "But before puberty, phimosis, affected urination, adhesion, or frequent urinary infections can also be surgically treated.".
Foreskin surgery is not as early as possible, depending on individual differences. It is better to observe whether the foreskin is too long by yourself after the age of ten, or to go to the hospital for inspection and let the doctor determine whether it is necessary to cut the foreskin. The best time for circumcision is before puberty, including adolescence. Therefore, it is best to cut off the excessively long foreskin before puberty.
In addition, throughout childhood and adolescence, the foreskin of a boy appears too long. Some parents may be in a hurry, but actually this time is not suitable for surgery. "Because the penis is not yet fully developed, it is difficult to control how much to cut in a rash operation.". Especially if you cut too much on the ventral side, it can affect your erection and may require additional plastic surgery to compensate.
2. How to care for a child with excessive foreskin
"If the child is under the age of 5, does not have difficulty urinating, does not have infection, and does not require special treatment for phimosis with mild foreskin scaling.".
For asymptomatic phimosis boys over the age of 5, chronic manual treatment can be implemented: After washing the vulva of the child every day, the parents turn the foreskin up with their fingers, gradually expanding the scope of the turn up, and persist for several weeks to expand and loosen the foreskin opening, basically reaching the point where the foreskin turns up and exposes the penis head.
3. When does circumcision need to be performed
Near the opening of the foreskin, there is a circle of constrictive foreskin. This type of phimosis cannot be opened even when it reaches adolescence, which not only affects the development of the penis, but also is prone to more serious phimosis problems. Phimosis accompanied by recurrent inflammation of the foreskin. This is because the narrow opening cannot be cleaned.
Severe phimosis can cause the opening of the foreskin to block, causing it to bulge like a balloon during urination. In severe cases, it can even cause reflux of urine, further damaging the kidneys. "If there is melanin deposition or foreskin sclerosis on the foreskin, circumcision is necessary.".
After puberty, if the foreskin does not develop to a normal state on its own, this can also be achieved manually. However, doing so can cause local dampness and heat discomfort, and if not washed frequently, it may also cause odor or inflammation.
Linyi Modern Andrology Hospital's international classic prepuce invisibility surgery is a relatively new cutting-edge technology that is popular in Europe and the United States. The surgery is performed from the root of the penis, preserving the inner plate of the prepuce, avoiding the removal of excess tissue. After surgery, the wound is invisible at the bottom of the body hair, which is extremely beautiful. There is no abnormal sensation in the first sexual life, and the postoperative recovery is fast. Compared with ordinary surgery, it can perform sexual life in advance, greatly improving the quality of sexual life. It is currently a relatively advanced prepuce technology at home and abroad, Linyi Modern Hospital is fully authorized to carry out the project. No risk, absolutely invisible without scars, minimally invasive and painless, almost no bleeding, no need to remove stitches, and short recovery time.
