What is Circumcision? Circumcisionremoves the foreskin covering the glans (head) of the penis. Usually, babies undergo circumcision shortly after birth. Circumcision began as a religious rite. Today, people get circumcised for religious, medical and cultural reasons. Many baby boys get circumcised, usually within the first week of life. Adults can get circumcised as well, though it’s less common.
Risk factor of Circumcision Circumcision is a routine, safe procedure. As with any surgery, there are some risks, though. These include: Bleeding Infection Pain Cutting the foreskin too long or too short Irritation on the top of the penis Meatitis Reaction to anesthesia.
Benefits of Circumcision • The specific health benefits of circumcision include a lower risk of: • Certain penis conditions: · These penile disorders include balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin), paraphimosis and phimosis, when the foreskin gets stuck out of place. • Cervical cancer for partners: Female sex partners of circumcised men are less likely to get cervical cancer. • Penile cancer: Men who had circumcisions are less likely to get cancer of the penis. • Sexually transmitted infections: Men who had circumcision have a lower risk of certain STIs, including HIV. • Urinary tract infections: UTIs are more common in uncircumcised males.
Procedure During a circumcision, the penis and foreskin are cleaned and the foreskin is removed. Parents should talk with their doctor about pain relief choices to help reduce any discomfort during the procedure, and for several hours after the procedure. A topical numbing cream can be put on the penis before the procedure or an injectable anesthetic can be used to numb the area before the procedure. Along with the anesthetic, acetaminophen is sometimes given as well.
After Procedure After circumcision, caring for the penis is simple but important. Wash the area gently with warm water. Pat dry and put on a new bandage with antibiotic ointment each time you change the diaper. It should take about a week to heal. It's normal for there to be a little swelling, redness and maybe blood at first. If these problems last several days or seem worse, have your baby seen by a doctor. Also talk to your baby's doctor if he gets a fever or doesn't have a wet diaper within 12 hours of circumcision.
