Circumcision

Circumcisia (circumcision) is the excision of the foreskin of the penis. Already in ancient times, the hygienic importance of the procedure was noted, circumcision also has social and religious roots.

Indications for surgery

Like any other operations on the body, circumcision has its own indications. Their peculiarity lies in the division into three types: religious, hygienic and medical.

Religious reasons

The practice of circumcision among Muslims and Jews is a well-known fact. As a religious ritual, the removal of the foreskin was used in ancient Egypt and personified union with God. Naturally, circumcision for religious beliefs is carried out simply at the request of the client.

Medical indications

• hypersensitivity, premature ejaculation (in this case, circumcision is performed to increase the duration of intercourse);
• lichen sclerosus;
• inflammatory process on the glans penis;
• paraphimosis;
• narrowing of the foreskin (phimosis).

Hygienic reasons

Smegma, which accumulates in the cavity between the glans penis and the foreskin, is fertile ground for the development of various infections. This is dangerous not only for the man, but also for his sexual partner. The fact is that stagnant smegma can get on the cervix during intercourse, the price of such negligence is cancer. Cropping eliminates the possibility of such problems and does not leave any aesthetically unattractive marks, as evidenced by the photos before and after.

Benefits of the procedure

According to the doctors' reviews, the removal of the foreskin has a positive effect on the future health of both the child and the adult:

• According to many experts, the removal of the foreskin of the penis can reduce the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections: HIV, syphilis, genital herpes, etc.
• Reduces the risk of male urinary tract infections (cystitis, pyelonephritis). Numerous reviews of men who have already done circumcision confirm the disappearance of this problem, even if it took place before the excision of the foreskin.
• Male genital care after excision becomes much easier.
• The cost of circumcision is insignificant in comparison with the cost of medicines and procedures, the effectiveness of which is significantly lower.

How does circumcision work in the clinic?

Circumcision refers to operations of one day. The excision is performed on an outpatient basis, and within a few hours the patient can go home. Surgery is performed under local anesthesia. The duration of circumcision is no more than an hour. The stitches applied to the penis with the help of absorbable sutures come off on their own. If they cause discomfort to the man, the doctor will remove them after 1 week. And after 2 months, sexual activity can be resumed.

Contraindications for circumcision:

• local exacerbation of skin diseases (their photos can be found on any medical portal);
• somatic diseases in the stage of decompensation;
• inflammatory processes in the male body with concomitant discharge of pus.

Rehabilitation and results

The duration of the recovery period depends on the individual characteristics of the patient's body. The term varies from 2 weeks to 2 months. The younger the patient, the faster healing and recovery occurs. The main thing is to properly care for the wound and there will be no complications.

Some men are concerned that the stitches on the penis may come apart. The likelihood of such an outcome is extremely low. It is worth refraining from intercourse within 2 months of the postoperative period and following all the doctor's instructions.

Within 7 days after the removal of the foreskin, the following are possible:

• local hypersensitivity;
• swelling of the male organ;
• painful sensations.

All of these symptoms are considered normal during recovery. According to the reviews of men in Ukraine, it can be concluded that there are no other postoperative complications, and the photos before and after prove that the aesthetic component of the organ is not disturbed.
