The most common indication for adult circumcision is for phimosis, a narrowing of the foreskin. It is often accompanied with painful swelling of the eyes. It is possible for the patient to experience pain during erections as well as intercourse. In rare cases, paraphimosis may require excision. The surgical procedure will remove the foreskin, but its removal is associated with risks.

The most common complications associated with male circumcision include bleeding, local infection, and unsatisfactory cosmetic results. Rare but serious complications include sepsis that could lead to death, buried penis due cicatrix formation, or necrotizing fasciitis. A retrospective study has identified factors that may contribute to postoperative complications. In addition, older patients may be more susceptible to complications than younger ones. This means that older children could be more at risk of complications than younger ones.

Indications

Indications for circumcision are varied. They can range anywhere from a recurrent Balanitis to an abnormally-formed foreskin. Patients may also experience posthitis, inflammation, or excessive redundancy. If the patient has phimosis, it is possible to manually reduce the prepuce above the glans. The patient will then need to undergo circumcision at a later date, preferably during a gynecological examination.

A family physician should be present to explain the procedure. Moreover, the family physician should be familiar with the operative techniques used for circumcision. If required, he/she should be able refer patients to the procedure. A family physician should also discuss any potential complications and risks with the patient. This is necessary for a safe and effective circumcision. This procedure can be dangerous and could lead to serious complications.

Surgical methods

There are three types of circumcision. All three of these methods are performed using a scalpel. Both methods are equally effective. The most popular is the Gomco clamp. This covers the glans, and stops blood flow to the penis. To fit the clamp, a cut is made in the skin’s foreskin. A scalpel can then be used to trim the foreskin around the edge of the Ligature. This method is used to circumcize newborns. However, older children may require sutures.

Mogen clamp is another simple method that is both effective and easy to do. This method is typically performed during a Bris Milah ceremony. The process is fast and relatively non-bloody, which reduces the risk of postoperative infections. In addition, this technique uses a special surgical instrument called a mogen clamp with flat blades that are about 2.5-3 mm in size. This allows the surgeon not only to treat the shortest area but also provides adequate anesthesia.

Recovery time

After your circumcision procedure, you can expect some time to recover. Typically, you should not engage in penetrative sex for a few days after the surgery. During this time, you will need to be very careful with the foods you eat. You might experience pain during spontaneous erections. You should see your doctor at around two and six weeks following the procedure. You might need to take some time from work.

Your penis will be sensitive and red for two weeks after the surgery. You should watch out for any signs of infection like pus or red streaks at the incision. If you notice bleeding or bruising, contact your doctor immediately. Bleeding will occur in the area of the circumcision. For at least two weeks, your child should not swim or dive. To speed healing and reduce pain, a sterile dressing may be applied to the wound.

Complications

Bleeding is the most common side effect of a circumcision. Because excessive bleeding can cause serious problems in the future, it is important to have a thorough history. Patients with bleeding diathesis, coagulopathies, or other conditions are not suitable for simple circumcision. Children should be consulted for proper care during the procedure. In rare cases, intravenous bleeding control may be necessary. Most complications are not serious.

Careful attention to the penile anatomy can prevent most complications. Also, trained clinicians should use the correct surgical equipment. Minor complications are treatable, and in many cases, have no long-term effects. However, if complications do arise, a specialist referral is necessary. For more serious complications, a specialist referral may be necessary. A well-done circumcision procedure will improve a child’s health and make him or her a more confident and independent adult.
