Circumcision has no age limit:

As long as there is circumcision excessively long and circumcised, men of any age can be circumcised. However, boys before the age of 7 generally need to be under general anesthesia due to poor cooperation, which increases both the cost and the risk. If the foreskin problem is not serious, it is recommended that the child be a little older before considering local anesthesia.

Some children's circumcision resolves naturally with age, eliminating the need for surgery. But if the foreskin causes difficulty urinating, repeated glans coronal inflammation, urinary tract infections, or if there is a short penis, hypospadias, or cryptorchid penis, then you need to go to a regular hospital as soon as possible for specialized treatment.
