At the age of 5, Cheng Cheng is an outgoing little boy who enjoys playing and studying in kindergarten every day. One day, the school suddenly sent a physical examination report to the parents, which made Cheng Cheng's mother worried. It turned out that the kindergarten doctor diagnosed a "long foreskin" and asked parents to take the child to the hospital for treatment. Can Cheng Cheng be operated on? Does the operation have any impact on his future life? When is the best time to circumcise Numerous questions flashed into Cheng Cheng's mother's mind, fearing that Cheng Cheng would lose his original cheerfulness after undergoing foreskin surgery, casting a shadow over his future life. Finally, she decided to come to the hospital for advice from a specialist.
The foreskin, as a unique sensual tissue for men, plays a significant role. In early childhood, the foreskin is a guardian of male urethral health, with which the urinary system is less susceptible to infection.
"After adulthood, the foreskin also serves as a significant role in protecting mucosal tissue and keeping the penis away from damage. It is also a provider of skin during plastic surgery and a harmonious messenger of sexual life.". Therefore, foreskin plays many roles in male health, and its importance is self-evident.
So, when your child has an excessively long foreskin, does it need to be circumcised immediately?
Actually, no need! They believe that children before puberty, whether they have a long foreskin or a phimosis, do not actually need surgery if they do not experience recurrent infections or adhesions. Only a few cases are in urgent need of surgical treatment, that is, the child has acquired phimosis with fibrous narrow ring at the prepuce mouth, recurrent urinary tract infection, enuresis, dysuria, and conservative treatment has not improved, the doctor only recommends that the prepuce should be cut within a time limit or at a selected time.
After the boy reaches the age of 12, the penis begins to enter a rapid development period, at which time the secretion inside the foreskin begins to increase. The accumulation of foreskin dirt over time has laid a hidden danger for the onset of various diseases. Therefore, experts suggest that it is more appropriate to perform circumcision at the age of 14, which will not only help the development of the penis, but also avoid infection of urinary inflammation.
