Why Is It Done?
The decision to circumcise often stems from cultural, religious, medical, or personal reasons. Below are the reasons in detail.
Religious and Cultural Significance: Circumcision holds spiritual value in religions such as Judaism and Islam. For many, it is a rite of passage or a symbol of commitment to their faith.
Medical and Health Motivations: circumcision is sometimes recommended for medical reasons, including:
- Preventing phimosis: a condition where the foreskin cannot retract. If it causes pain, inflammation, or infection, circumcision may be necessary.
- Paraphimosis: This occurs when the foreskin is retracted but cannot be returned to its original position, potentially leading to swelling and restricted blood flow. Circumcision can prevent this condition.
- Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Infants and young boys who experience recurrent UTIs may benefit from circumcision, which can help reduce the risk of future infections.
- Can decreasing the risk of certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV
- Balanoposthitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the foreskin and glans of the penis. In this scenario, the doctor may advise.
- Hygiene Concerns: Some parents and individuals believe that circumcision facilitates better hygiene by eliminating the need to clean beneath the foreskin.
How is it done ?
When it comes to circumcision surgery, various methods are employed, each tailored to the patient’s age, medical needs, and individual circumstances.In this discussion, we’ll explore the most commonly used circumcision techniques.
Conventional methods: In this method, a circular incision is made on the foreskin of the penis, and removes excess skin. Stitches are then required to close the incision.
Stapler Surgery: Stapler circumcision is most often used in adult patients and is particularly popular in Asia. This procedure is very quick, it will take around just 2 minutes:
- A circular stapler device cuts and staples the edges of the foreskin in one step.
- It’s a very quick method, with reduced surgery time and minimal bleeding. The staples are absorbed or removed after a few days, making the recovery process relatively easy.
