Circumcision Surgery in Chennai
Conversations about the penis are often uncomfortable, leading to a lack of knowledge regarding vital health topics. One such essential topic is circumcision.
A circumcision is a surgical procedure to remove the foreskin (the skin covering the tip of the penis). While usually done during infancy, adult men can also opt for the procedure for religious or medical reasons.
The Pros of a Circumcision Operation
UTI Prevention
Absence of foreskin prevents bacteria collection, significantly reducing urinary tract infection risks.
Lower STI Risk
Reduced probability of contracting STIs including HIV and human papillomavirus (HPV).
Better Hygiene
Easier cleaning process eliminates risks of poor genital hygiene and related complications.
Reduced Cancer Risk
Eliminates conditions like smegma or phimosis, lowering the risk of developing penile cancer.
Problems Faced by Uncircumcised Men
Phimosis
Foreskin sits too tight, leading to swelling, pain, bleeding, and urination issues.
Paraphimosis
Inability to pull foreskin back over the head, causing shaft tightening and discomfort.
Recurring Infections
Increased risk of yeast, bacterial, and fungal infections due to bacteria buildup.
Injury Risks
Increased risk of zipper-related injuries to the foreskin and urethral meatus.
Ideal Candidates & Preparation
Adult men choose circumcision for varied reasons. However, those with specific medical concerns or premature birth history should consult extensively.
Preparation Tips:
- Avoid food/water for 6 hours before the procedure.
- Provide a full medication list to your surgeon.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing on the surgery day.
The Procedure & Recovery
The Surgery: Performed as an out-patient procedure under local, general, or spinal anaesthesia. Foreskin is removed using a scalpel/scissors, bleeding is controlled by cauterisation, and dissolvable stitches are applied.
Post-Surgery Care
Initial Healing
Discomfort and swelling for 3-4 days is normal. Full healing takes roughly 10 days.
Activity Restriction
Avoid sexual activity for 4 weeks post-procedure to ensure tissue integrity.
Irritation Control
Wear loose-fitting clothing for 2-3 days to reduce friction during early healing.
