Is it too late to have a circumcision at 14 years old for premature development?

Generally speaking, circumcision refers to the surgical removal of excess foreskin from the penis in order to expose the glans. It is not considered late to perform a circumcision at age 14. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If a 14-year-old boy has phimosis, meaning the foreskin opening is too small to retract and expose the glans, or if he has a long foreskin that repeatedly causes infections such as balanitis or posthitis, thereby affecting the child's reproductive health and quality of life, circumcision would be appropriate. Performing the surgery at this age is conducive to normal penile development, reduces the risk of urinary tract infections, and can also prevent potential psychological effects caused by foreskin problems, such as feelings of inferiority due to abnormal genital appearance.

A 14-year-old generally has a good tolerance for surgery and a relatively quick recovery afterward. However, adequate preparation is necessary before the procedure, including completing relevant examinations to ensure the child's physical condition is suitable for surgery. Postoperative care is also important, and the patient should follow the doctor's instructions, such as keeping the wound clean and dry, and avoiding strenuous activities, in order to promote wound healing and reduce the occurrence of complications.
