Greetings!!
Phimosis (tight foreskin of penis)
can either be physiological (temporary) or congenital (permanent)
Temporary problems will resolve around 6-7 years of age. If the child has no problem in urinating, can wait a little longer.
If child has Frequent urinary infections or straining to pass urine - advisable to undergo surgery as early as possible.
