Circumcision under short-term general or local anesthesia

About

Circumcision is a surgical procedure in which local anesthesia is used to numb the area around the penis for the removal of the foreskin. Circumcision can be a safe and effective procedure for patients requiring it, providing relief from symptoms and improving overall health. Patients need to receive detailed information about the procedure and follow wound care instructions to ensure a successful recovery.

Candidate

Newborns or males who are candidates for circumcision can undergo this procedure. In some cultures, circumcision is performed for religious or cultural reasons, while in medical cases it may be recommended to prevent infections, balanoposthitis, or other medical problems.

Preparation

Before circumcision, a detailed evaluation of the patient is carried out to ensure the safety of the treatment. Newborns or younger patients usually do not require special preparation, while adults may need to stop taking certain medications.

Treatment

Circumcision is usually performed in a hospital or medical facility. After applying anesthesia, the surgeon removes the foreskin with a scalpel or special medical instruments. The goal of the treatment is to remove the foreskin to facilitate penile hygiene and reduce the risk of certain medical problems.

Result

After circumcision, patients usually have a quick recovery. The effects of circumcision may include reducing the risk of balanoposthitis, urinary tract infections or other problems with the foreskin. It is important that patients regularly follow wound care instructions after the procedure to avoid complications and ensure a successful recovery.

Precautions

After circumcision, patients should follow the doctor's instructions for wound care and avoid activities that may interfere with the healing process. Regular check-ups after the surgery may be necessary to monitor wound healing and detect any complications.
