Circumcision
Many boys are born with tight or excess foreskin. This can cause infections, frenulum tears and pain during sex. Circumcision surgery removes this excess foreskin. The operation is done under general anaesthesia as a day surgery and takes only ½ hour. It can also be done under local anesthesia in adults but take a longer time. The excess foreskin is cut off and the edges stitched with absorbable sutures. The stitches dissolve after a week. A laser can also be used to remove the excess skin, with the advantage of sealage of blood vessels at the same time. However, the laser method costs more.
Complications include:
- bleeding. If the bleeding is active despite compression bandage, re-stitching may be needed.
- infection. This causes excess pain and delayed healing. Hence, it is important to clean the wound daily with anti-septic solution, apply antibiotic cream and complete the antibiotic course.
