MALE HEALTH AND COMFORT
Circumcision is a surgical procedure involving the partial or complete removal of the foreskin, the skin covering the glans of the penis. This treatment may be indicated for medical reasons, such as recurrent infections, phimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin), or to improve hygiene, or even for aesthetic or religious reasons.
How is Circumcision Performed?
Circumcision is performed in a hospital or clinic setting, under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s preference and medical evaluation. The procedure involves the removal of the foreskin and can last between 30 to 60 minutes. After removal, the area is sutured, and the patient receives post-operative care to ensure proper healing.
Why is this treatment important?
Circumcision can be an effective solution for those suffering from phimosis or complications related to the foreskin, in addition to promoting better hygiene and preventing infections. For those seeking aesthetic or cultural benefits, circumcision also offers an option for improving genital appearance. It is a safe procedure performed with minimally invasive techniques, with rapid recovery and lasting results.
During the consultation, the physician will assess the condition of the foreskin and the overall health of the patient’s genital area.
Benefits of Circumcision:
- Improved hygiene: Removal of the foreskin facilitates cleaning of the genital area, preventing infections and ensuring greater comfort.
- Infection prevention: Circumcision can prevent urinary tract infections, balanitis (inflammation of the glans), and other conditions related to the foreskin.
- Treatment for phimosis: Removal of the foreskin resolves the difficulty of retracting the skin, which can cause pain and discomfort.
- Increased comfort and self-esteem: Many patients report greater comfort during sexual activity and an improvement in self-esteem after the procedure.
- Aesthetic benefit: Circumcision can be performed for aesthetic reasons, offering a more uniform appearance and without the skin covering the glans.
