Circumcision for Men

Introduction 

Circumcision is a surgical procedure performed to remove the skin covering the tip of the penis. It is one of the best and most effective treatment options for phimosis.

Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin covering the glans of the penis is unable to retract. The foreskin needs to be modified or removed in such cases. This procedure can be done in an outpatient clinic under local anesthesia within 30 minutes. 

Why is Circumcision done?

Clinically, circumcision is performed to remove the prepuce or the foreskin covering the tip of the penis. It is also used to treat conditions such as phimosis, paraphimosis, and inflammation of the foreskin. 

Whom is Circumcision recommended for? 

The procedure is recommended by doctors for men if they have, 

1. Tearing and bleeding of the penile foreskin.
2. Cancerous and non-cancerous growth in the foreskin. 
3. Warts on the foreskin.
4. Painful sexual intercourse.
5. Frequent infection or inflammation of the penis. 
6. Had frenuloplasty but the procedure failed to improve the condition. 
7. A condition known as Phimosis (The condition in which the foreskin is unable to retract)
8. A condition known as Paraphimosis (The condition in which the foreskin is trapped behind the corona of the penis glans)
9. A condition known as Posthisis (Inflammation of the foreskin)
