We offer circumcision services at our clinic, providing a safe and professional environment for this procedure. Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin, the fold of skin that covers the head of the penis.
When performed with proper medical care and local anesthesia, can be a relatively painless procedure. The use of local or regional anesthesia helps to numb the area, ensuring that individuals undergoing circumcision experience minimal discomfort during the process.
With the advancement in medical techniques and the availability of safe and effective pain management options, healthcare professionals strive to prioritize patient comfort and ensure a painless circumcision experience. By employing these methods, the pain associated with the procedure is greatly reduced, allowing individuals to undergo circumcision with minimal discomfort and enhanced overall well-being.
Circumcision Advantages:
UTI is uncommon in males at any age. The effect of circumcision on UTI has been studied primarily in infants because they have a higher prevalence of UTI than older males. UTIs in infants can result in pyelonephritis requiring hospitalization and, rarely, septicemia and death. In infants with congenital uropathy, UTI can have serious sequelae, such as renal scarring and lifelong renal insufficiency. If the urinary tract is normal, long-term sequelae from UTI are unlikely.
Compared with uncircumcised men, circumcised men appear to have a lower risk of penile cancer, and their sexual partners may have a lower risk of cervical cancer. Penile Cancer: Squamous cell cancer of the penis is a rare disease. The age-adjusted incidence in the United States is less than 1 per 100,000 males, comparable to that in other developed countries. Cervical Cancer In Partners: Cervical cancer is more common in the sexual partners of uncircumcised men. A partial explanation for the link between cervical cancer and lack of male circumcision is that circumcised men have a lower prevalence of HPV infection than uncircumcised men , they are less likely to transmit HPV to their partners, and their partners have lower high-risk HPV DNA load.
In case series, penile problems are described more often in uncircumcised males. The best available data were reported by a prospective cohort study of 635 New Zealand boys followed from birth to age 8 years. The rates of penile inflammation and phimosis were higher in uncircumcised boys.
There is high-quality evidence that circumcision protects against acquisition of HIV, HPV, and probably herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), and also some evidence that it may protect against trichomonas and chancroid infection. Circumcision does not protect against infection from gonorrhea, chlamydia trachomatis, or syphilis.
Genital hygiene (washing the entire penis, including the glans, with soap and water while bathing) is important for all males and is generally easier in the absence of a foreskin.Uncircumcised boys should be taught the importance of washing beneath the foreskin on a regular basis when the foreskin is fully retractable. Good hygiene may prevent many problems associated with the foreskin, but can be difficult to maintain in uncircumcised boys, even in developed countries.
Circumcision has been associated with a lower risk of various health conditions. Research suggests that circumcised males have a decreased likelihood of developing penile cancer, urinary tract infections, and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. While circumcision does not eliminate the risk entirely, it may offer some protection against these conditions.
Phimosis refers to a condition in which the foreskin is too tight, making it difficult to retract. Circumcision eliminates the risk of phimosis since the foreskin is removed. Additionally, balanitis, which is the inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis, is less likely to occur in circumcised individuals.
Circumcision holds cultural and religious significance for many communities around the world. For families who follow religious traditions that include circumcision, this service allows them to uphold their cultural or religious practices. We strive to accommodate and respect the diverse cultural and religious backgrounds of our patients, ensuring that the procedure is performed with sensitivity and care.
Some individuals may opt for circumcision due to personal preference or for aesthetic reasons. They may prefer the appearance of a circumcised penis or feel more comfortable with the decision. We provide a supportive environment where patients can make an informed choice based on their preferences and individual circumstances.
Circumcision Disadvantages:
What are disadvantages of circumcision?
- Inadequate skin removal, which may result in an unsatisfactory cosmetic appearance and revision of the procedure. This is a common complaint, although the frequency is poorly documented in the literature.
- Bleeding, which is usually mild and controlled with local pressure, but surgical intervention and transfusion may be required on rare occasions.
- Infection, which is usually mild and treated by local antibiotics, but sepsis can occur and death has been reported.
- Urethral complications, including urethrocutaneous fistula. Meatal stenosis is an unintended consequence of circumcision but is not related to the procedure itself. Meatal stenosis can occur when urine from a wet diaper irritates the exposed ventral urethral meatus of the circumcised penis, causing a chemical dermatitis with subsequent scarring. Meatal stenosis rarely if ever occurs in uncircumcised males since the foreskin protects the meatus from scarring.
- Glans injury, including penile amputation.
- Removal of excessive skin, which may result in a denuded penile shaft.
- Epidermal inclusion cyst (results from inadvertently burying healthy skin that has no place to naturally slough off).
- Adhesions, which range from mild to dense.
- Skin bridges.
- Cicatrix (a circumferential scar that usually develops at the incision line and is often associated with a hidden penis).
- Anesthetic complications.
Complications are more common among premature newborns, newborns with congenital anomalies, and circumcisions performed after the newborn period or by untrained/poorly trained providers who may use nonsterile techniques. Therefore prior counseling and physical exam with physician is quite important.

Frequently Asked Questions
When after my circumcision may I take a regular shower?
The tip of your penis needs to be kept clean. After surgery, the region needs to be kept dry for 48 hours. After that, take one or two warm baths or showers each day. Avoid using scented soaps or bubble baths since they could irritate your healing wound.
How long does circumcision discomfort last?
In three to four days, this soreness typically subsides. But it might linger for as long as two weeks. After three or four days, your baby's penis will probably start to feel better, but it might also start to look worse. After seven to ten days, the penis frequently begins to appear to be improving.
Do I need my family doctor's recommendation in order to have my son circumcised?
No, your family doctor does not need to refer you. You can register yourself by filling out the online registration form. A member of our staff will get in touch with you to schedule a time.
After surgery, will my child's diet change?
Your youngster may consume food appropriately for his age, but it may take 24 to 36 hours for his appetite to return to normal. Post-operative constipation is typical. Constipation can be exacerbated by anesthesia and pain medications. After surgery, give your youngster a lot of clear liquids.
