    It is generally better to be circumcised when the child is 8 years old. It depends on the individual's physical condition.

    Circumcision surgery can effectively prevent penile diseases in youth, improve local hygiene care of the penis, and can also effectively help reduce the chance of balanitis. When I was 8 years old, the foreskin of my penis developed normally, so I needed a circumcision surgery to preserve the foreskin frenulum. The surgery was usually performed under local general anesthesia, and I suddenly felt no pain.

    After surgery, you should strengthen local hygiene care, try not to get wet too early, and avoid sitting for long periods of time. You should also go to the hospital for regular check-ups to observe your body's recovery.
