Simple Guide To Circumcision: The Surgery, Complications, and Related

Circumcision is a surgical procedure in which all or part of the foreskin of the penis is removed. The foreskin is a loose fold of skin that covers the head of the penis. Circumcision is usually performed on newborn babies, but it can also be performed on older children and adults.

There are many reasons why parents choose to circumcise their sons. Some parents believe that circumcision has health benefits, such as reducing the risk of urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases. Other parents choose to circumcise their sons for religious or cultural reasons.

The Surgery

Circumcision is a relatively simple surgical procedure. It is usually performed in a doctor's office or clinic. The surgery takes about 15 minutes and is usually done under local anesthesia. The doctor will first clean the penis and then use a scalpel or laser to remove the foreskin.

After the surgery, the doctor will apply a bandage to the penis. The bandage will help to keep the wound clean and dry. The bandage will usually be removed after a few days.

Complications

Circumcision is a safe procedure, but there are some potential complications. These complications include:

• Bleeding
• Infection
• Scarring
• Loss of sensation in the penis

The risk of complications is very low. However, it is important to be aware of the potential risks before making a decision about whether or not to circumcise your son.
