What is Circumcision?
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the head of the penis. It may be advised for phimosis, repeated infections, or for personal or religious reasons.
Modern stapler and laser techniques give a neat cut edge with usually less bleeding. Most patients go home the same day and resume routine within a few days.
Symptoms of Circumcision
- Tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back (phimosis)
- Foreskin stuck behind the head of the penis (paraphimosis)
- Repeated swelling, redness or infection of the foreskin
- Pain during erection or intercourse
- Difficulty or ballooning while passing urine
