What Is Circumcision?
Circumcision is a surgical procedure that removes the foreskin – the fold of skin covering the tip of the penis. It is commonly performed in newborn boys, and may also be done later in life for medical, cultural, or personal reasons.
Circumcision may be recommended for conditions such as phimosis, recurrent balanitis – inflammation of the foreskin or head of the penis – or repeated urinary tract infections. Potential benefits include a lower risk of certain sexually transmitted infections (including HIV), reduced risk of urinary tract infections in infancy, prevention of foreskin-related complications, and a lower risk of penile cancer. However, the overall risk of serious problems in uncircumcised males remains low with proper hygiene. Circumcision does not affect fertility and is generally not believed to significantly alter sexual function.
How It Works
Circumcision is performed under sterile surgical conditions. In newborns, the procedure is typically done within the first 48 hours of life. In older children or adults, local anesthesia may be used depending on age and clinical needs.
The foreskin is carefully separated from the glans (head of the penis) and surgically removed. Several techniques may be used, including conventional surgical excision, clamp or ring methods, or stapler-assisted systems. After removal, the remaining skin is positioned and secured to allow proper healing. The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. Recovery time varies by age, with newborns typically healing faster than older patients.
