Circumcision Procedure
Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves removing the skin covering the tip of the penis. This procedure is typically performed on newborns for religious reasons, to prevent infection, and to reduce the risk of cancer. Circumcision can also be performed on an adult, however, it is significantly less common and requires extra treatment steps. It’s important to weigh the potential benefits and risks before deciding whether or not to undergo this procedure. At Smith Medical, we offer cash-based procedures to patients without insurance and those whose insurance does not cover a specific procedure.
When is This Procedure Necessary?
Circumcision is considered medically necessary in certain cases to address various health concerns. One common reason for the procedure is phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract over the head of the penis, causing pain and difficulty with hygiene. Most commonly, however, a circumcision is performed for religious reasons. Circumcision can also be recommended for individuals with recurrent urinary tract infections or inflammation of the glans penis, known as balanitis. Additionally, some studies suggest that circumcision may reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV and genital herpes.
What To Expect
Patients are typically under anesthesia to ensure their comfort throughout the procedure. The skin around the base of the penis will be cleaned and sterilized. The surgeon will then carefully remove the foreskin using a scalpel or a special clamp device. Following this, stitches or sutures may be placed to close the incision site.
After the procedure, patients may experience pain and discomfort which is manageable through the use of pain medications (for adult use only). The recovery process is different for newborns than it is for adults, and it is important for patients to closely listen to their doctors to ensure a smooth recovery for themselves or their newborn. It is important to keep the area clean and dry during the healing process to prevent infection.
