Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the tip of the penis. It is a relatively common procedure performed in newborn baby boys in certain parts of the world. For some communities, circumcision is a religious and cultural ritual; for some, it can be a matter of family tradition, preventive health care, or personal hygiene. Circumcision after the neonatal period (the first 28 days of a baby's life) is also possible, but it is a more complicated procedure.

There are multiple advantages of circumcision, like lower risk of urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted infections. In addition, it can be used to treat various medical conditions like paraphimosis, phimosis, balanitis, balanoposthitis, etc. Furthermore, it helps improve penile health and hygiene, as it becomes easier to clean and wash the penis.
During circumcision, the foreskin is removed from the head of the penis. Circumcision is typically performed by a urologist. The procedure begins with cleaning and numbing the penis with either a small shot of medicine or a numbing cream.
There are several methods for performing circumcision. The choice of method depends on the urologist's preference and experience. The three commonly performed methods of circumcision are Open circumcision, Stapler circumcision, and Laser Circumcision. Each method works by cutting off blood circulation to the foreskin to prevent bleeding when the urologist cuts the foreskin. Circumcision usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
After circumcision, a topical antibiotic ointment or petroleum jelly is applied to the area and wrapped with gauze. Older boys and men may be given medication to sleep during the procedure.
The penis takes about 7 to 12 days to heal completely after circumcision. People experience redness, swelling, and soreness around the penis. Occasionally a yellow fluid may be present on the tip of the penis. Some of the post-operative care tips to be taken after circumcision include the following:

There are different techniques for performing circumcision. However, the most common methods of circumcision are Laser circumcision, Stapler circumcision, and Open circumcision.
Laser Circumcision
Laser circumcision is one of the safest and most advanced circumcision procedures. During the laser circumcision, the urologist removes the foreskin using a high-energy laser beam. Since a laser is used to make an incision, there is little to no bleeding, and the wound edges are clean. Laser circumcision takes 10-15 minutes and has a shorter recovery time.
Stapler Circumcision
Stapler circumcision is a specialized circumcision technique that uses a surgical stapler to remove the foreskin. The surgical stapler is a single-use, hand-held, manual surgical instrument preloaded with non-bioabsorbable skin staples intended to perform a circumcision. It is designed to remove the foreskin and apply a circular row of staples proximal to the cut line.
Open Circumcision
Open circumcision is a traditional procedure for circumcision where the surgeon creates incisions along the upper length of the foreskin and removes them. Open circumcision is associated with certain postoperative complications but also has the advantage that any injury caused can be identified instantly and addressed intraoperatively.
Benefits of circumcision include:

Here are some things you need to consider before choosing a doctor to undergo circumcision in [city_name]:
Educational Requirements
Before undergoing circumcision from a urologist, ensure they have valid educational requirements. All urologists must earn a bachelor's degree and a medical degree. They generally prefer a bachelor's degree in a science field like pre-medicine, chemistry, or biology, which provides them with the courses for medical school. In addition, urologists must pass the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) to get into medical school, which usually takes four years to complete.
Urologists generally spend the first couple of years of medical school in the classroom and the lab, learning about anatomy, pathology, patient care, and biochemistry. In their final year of medical school, they gain hands-on experience through hospital and clinic rotations. After graduating from medical school, urologists spend at least five years completing their residencies. Throughout their careers, urologists should stay up to date on new surgical techniques and equipment, as well as the latest research on urinary tract and related conditions.
Certifications
Before undergoing circumcision from a urologist, ensure they are board certified. Urologists can choose to become board-certified after finishing their residency. Certification indicates that a urologist has obtained a certain amount of training and can practice urology safely and effectively. Urologists can earn certification with the American Board of Urology (ABU), American Urological Association (AUA), and American College of Surgeons (ACS).
Check Reviews
When selecting a urologist for circumcision, consider their patient reviews and ratings. Knowing about the experiences of other patients can give you insight into what kind of doctor he or she is, how much time they spend with their patients, etc.
Gender
When choosing a urologist, it is essential to feel comfortable with the doctor's gender. You will need to openly discuss details that may be personal or sensitive, so it is wise to choose someone you feel comfortable speaking with.
