Circumcision

Circumcision: Procedure, Benefits, and Care

Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin, the fold of skin covering the tip of the penis. It is commonly performed for medical, cultural, or religious reasons and can be done at any age, though it is most often performed in children.

Why is Circumcision Done?

Reduced Risk of Infections – Helps prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs), especially in children.
Prevention of Balanitis & Phimosis – Helps prevent conditions like balanitis (inflammation of the foreskin) and phimosis (tight foreskin that cannot be retracted).
Improved Hygiene – Easier to keep the area clean, reducing the risk of bacterial buildup and infections.

Circumcision Procedure

1. Pediatric Circumcision:

A quick procedure, usually done within the first few weeks of life.
The baby is placed on a special board, and general anesthesia is given to numb the area.
The foreskin is carefully removed using surgical instruments.
Healing typically takes 7-10 days.

2. Adult Circumcision:

Performed under local anesthesia.
Requires stitches, which dissolve over time.
Healing typically takes 7-10 days.

Post-Circumcision Care

Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
Apply antibiotic ointment as recommended.
Avoid strenuous activities and sexual intercourse until fully healed.
Use pain relievers (as advised by the doctor) for any discomfort.
Monitor for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or pus.

Potential Risks & Complications

Kidney stones form when your urine contains too many crystals that can turn into stones. Factors that can increase your risk of developing kidney stones include:

Mild pain and swelling
Bleeding or infection (rare)
Sensitivity changes in the penis
Scar tissue formation (in rare cases)

Most complications are minor and easily treatable with proper care.
