Circumcision

Circumcision has its benefits, but it also carries risks, such as:
● Bleeding and infection from poorly executed surgeries.
● Incomplete removal of the foreskin.
● Improper healing of the foreskin, potentially leading to sepsis or gangrene.

Circumcision is typically performed on newborn males. The procedure involves:
● Anesthesia for the patient.
● Cleaning the foreskin and penis with an antiseptic.
● Placing a special clamp on the penis and removing the foreskin.

Applying an antibiotic ointment and covering the penis with a bandage.
● Adults undergoing circumcision follow the same procedure, with varying
amounts of anesthesia.

Before opting for circumcision, consult with a men’s health specialist. The doctor will explain the procedure’s risks and benefits, helping you make an informed decision.

Post-procedure, the circumcised penis requires careful aftercare. The area will be sore and may cause discomfort. The doctor will provide detailed aftercare instructions. Once healed, regular hygiene practices can resume.

Uncircumcised men should practice good hygiene to prevent foreskin infections. Wearing loose clothing can reduce friction and prevent smegma buildup. Regularly cleaning and drying the foreskin helps prevent fungal infections. Wearing underpants can prevent zipper trauma.

Circumcision is typically performed on newborn males, often within 7-8 days of birth. It can be done at any age, but older patients may face different risks.
