At what age is it best to have phimosis surgery?
Many children have excessive phimosis, which is a normal condition. You only need to continue to observe whether the child's excessive foreskin will improve during the child's growth process. If the excessive foreskin has not improved by the time the child is six or seven years old, surgical treatment is required. The best time for surgery is when the child is about six years old. Try not to choose the period of puberty, because circumcision surgery on the child during puberty will bring great embarrassment and confusion to him.
1. If a child’s foreskin is long, not only will it be easy to hide dirt, but more importantly, the long foreskin will seriously affect the development of their genitals. It will have a serious impact on the development of his genitals, and there will also be a risk of breeding many germs. Therefore, if the foreskin is long enough to reach the level of excessive foreskin, surgical intervention is necessary, and this kind of surgery is a complete surgical treatment and will not pose any life threat to the child. Parents can rest assured.
2. If a child is found to have foreskin when he is two or three years old, surgery is not suitable at this stage. You can first observe whether the foreskin has improved after two or three years, because under normal circumstances, with the development of male genitalia, the foreskin will improve. If the foreskin has not improved by the age of five or six, surgery is needed.
3. When a child undergoes phimosis surgery, the choice of the age of surgical treatment is also very important. It is more appropriate to arrange the surgical treatment when the child is about 6-7 years old. The phimosis surgery must be completed before the child reaches puberty, because the child will have some embarrassment and confusion if he undergoes circumcision surgery after reaching puberty.Phimosis surgery has been very complete in China. It can be treated in urology departments of general tertiary hospitals or pediatric hospitals. Parents do not need to worry too much about the quality of the surgery and the risks of the surgery. It is a relatively low-risk surgical treatment. The operation can be completed in 40 minutes. Pay attention to post-operative rehabilitation and maintenance to avoid bacterial infection. Generally, all repairs can be completed within one month.
