We offer professional boys circumcisions in our clinic, using the gentle ring method for optimal healing and comfort. Our experienced pediatric surgeons/urologists prioritize your child well-being, and we provide 24/7 aftercare support to ensure a smooth recovery.
Before Your Baby’s Circumcision
Every baby is unique, which is why we begin with a personalized assessment and consultation with a doctor. This helps us understand your reasons for wanting the procedure and ensure there are no medical reasons why circumcision might not be suitable for your child.
- Reasons for Circumcision: There are many motivations for circumcision: religious, social, cultural, or for certain medical issues.
- Doctor’s Assessment: If any concerns are found during the assessment, we’ll provide a referral to a specialist for further guidance.
The Circumcision Procedure
We understand that this procedure can cause some anxiety. Here’s what you can expect to ensure your comfort and your baby’s safety:
- Pain Management: A local anesthetic is always used, providing safe and effective pain relief for your baby.
- Proven Technique: Our doctors are specialized in the Circumplast or Plastibell ring method, a technique widely used for its safety and effectiveness.
- Quick and Efficient: The procedure takes approximately 10-15 minutes.
Aftercare for Your Baby
Proper aftercare helps ensure a healthy recovery. Here’s what to expect and how to help your little one:
- Healing: Some swelling is normal and will gradually subside in a few weeks.
- Pain Relief: Simple over-the-counter pain relief medication (like Paracetamol) can be given for the first 48 hours. Follow the instructions provided.
- Keeping it Clean: Regularly bathing with a small amount of salt in the water and applying Vaseline with diaper changes helps prevent infection.
- Ring Separation: The plastic ring will fall off naturally within 3-14 days, usually closer to a week. Contact us if it doesn’t fall off in 14 days or if there are position changes.
Potential Risks and What to Do
No procedure is entirely risk-free, but circumcision is very safe. It’s important to be aware of potential (although rare) side effects:
- Warning Signs: Contact us immediately if you notice fever, excessive bleeding, unusual irritability, difficulty passing urine, or signs of infection.
- Rare Complications: In extremely rare cases, further procedures might be needed.
- We’re here for you: Dr. Khan provides 24-hour support, and we’ll arrange follow-up advice or consultations if needed.
