Circumcision in Guntur

What is Circumcision?

Circumcision is a commonly performed surgery to remove the foreskin, a retractable fold of skin that covers the glans, or the head, of the penis. Circumcision can be performed for a multitude of reasons, but in most cases, it is performed due to religious, cultural, or medical concerns.

How is a Circumcision Performed? What are its Costs?

There are typically three approaches to performing circumcision. While all three methods are considered to be effective and minimally invasive, they vary slightly in procedure and cost:

Open circumcision

Open circumcision, also known as the dorsal slit technique, is the most common approach of performing circumcision. In this procedure, the surgeon makes a longitudinal incision on the top (dorsal) side of the foreskin. The incision is typically made using a scalpel or surgical scissors, and it allows the foreskin to be pulled back and removed. Once the incision is made, the surgeon carefully separates the inner layer of the foreskin from the underlying tissue. This separation allows for the removal of the excess foreskin while leaving the underlying structures intact. The surgeon may then suture the edges of the incision together using dissolvable stitches, which will eventually dissolve on their own. The cost of open circumcision in Guntur may lie anywhere between Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 25,000.

Laser circumcision

Laser circumcision is an advanced technique that utilizes laser technology to perform the removal of the foreskin. In a laser circumcision, the surgeon uses a highly focused beam of light to ablate the tissue around the foreskin in order to cut it with precision. Due to the high temperature of the laser, any blood vessels are immediately cauterized, resulting in minimal and controlled bleeding. The average cost of a laser circumcision procedure in Guntur can range from Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 35,000.It is to be noted, however, that depending on several factors, the exact cost of your surgery is likely to vary.

Stapler Circumcision

Stapler circumcision, often referred to as circular stapler technique, is another surgical procedure that uses a specially designed medical device called a stapler to remove the foreskin surgically. In a stapler circumcision, the foreskin is pulled over a circular or plastic guide that helps a uniform, circular incision line. The circumcision stapler, which looks similar to a hollow tube, is placed over the guide and the excess tissue is removed by closing the stapler device. The stapler leaves behind a silicone ring on top of the penis to immediately seal the incision and prevent excessive bleeding. The silicone ring will fall off on its own once the wound has healed. The average cost of a stapler circumcision in Guntur can be approximately Rs. 31,000 to Rs. 35,000.

Postoperative Care & Recovery

On an average, recovery after a circumcision in adults can take anywhere from 6-7 days to complete. Depending on the method of your surgery, your overall health and quality of postoperative care, the exact duration of your recovery period may vary. During this period, it is important to strictly follow any medications or recovery tips that may have been prescribed by your urologist to reduce the chances of postoperative complications as much as possible. Mentioned below are some simple tips that may help you recover faster after your circumcision surgery:

After the surgery, it is considered normal for the penis to be sensitive for the first 2 weeks and it is important to keep the surgical site dry for the first 48 hours after surgery.
Pain from adult circumcision is typically mild and does not require any special medications but your doctor may prescribe you some mild medications for pain management and faster recovery. It is important to take such medications as instructed by your urologist.
Avoid any physical activity or movements that may put too much strain or pressure on the site of surgery.
Wear comfortable and supportive underwear that can hold the head of the penis towards the belly button lying flat.
When taking a shower, be careful not to apply any soap or gel over the surgical site for at least a few weeks. Avoid harsh towels and use soft towels to gently pat the area dry instead.

Risks and Complications Involved in Circumcision

While circumcision is generally considered to be one of the safest and the most commonly performed surgical procedures, as is the case with any other surgery, there are some risks and complications that could occur either during or after surgery. While such cases are rare, they can still happen, and it is important to keep a close eye on any unexpected symptoms that may arise after your surgery and inform your urologist about them. Some of the common complications that can occur after a circumcision procedure are given below:

Excessive bleeding: Bleeding is one of the most common complications that may occur after circumcision. While some bleeding after the surgery is to be expected, excessive or prolonged bleeding may require medical attention.
Infection: If proper hygiene and postoperative care are not maintained, the surgical wound may become infected. Signs of infection may include increased redness, swelling, pus and fever. If you are noticing any of these symptoms, it is advised to discuss them with your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
Excessive or insufficient removal of the foreskin: In some cases, there may be too much or too little removal of the foreskin resulting in cosmetic or functional problems. In such a case, you may need to undergo a second circumcision procedure.
Scarring: Similar to any other surgical procedure, circumcisions can leave scars. However, proper wound care and strict postoperative care help minimize the extent and visibility of the scarringe.
Complications from anesthesia: While complications of any kind due to anesthesia are rare, they can still happen and may require immediate attention from the surgeon. Some side effects from anesthesia, such as nausea, vomiting, and chills are considered normal and should subside on their own. However, if they continue to persist, it is advisable to contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
