What is Circumcision?
Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin, the retractable fold of skin that covers the head of the penis. This procedure is commonly performed for religious, cultural, or medical reasons. Circumcision is typically performed on newborns or infants, but it can also be done on older children or adults.
How is Circumcision performed?
Circumcision is usually performed by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a pediatrician, urologist, or general surgeon. The procedure can be done using various techniques, including:
- Conventional surgical circumcision: The foreskin is removed using a surgical scalpel or scissors, and the wound is closed with stitches or surgical glue.
- Plastibell circumcision: A plastic device is placed around the foreskin, and a ligature is tied to cut off circulation, causing the foreskin to fall off after several days.
- Clamp circumcision: A special clamp is used to crush and remove the foreskin, and the wound is closed with sutures or surgical glue.

What is the recovery process like after Circumcision?
The recovery process after circumcision varies depending on the technique used and individual healing factors.
