Circumcision

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin (prepuce) from the glans of the penis and is one of the most common urological interventions.

At Medical Time hospital, this procedure is performed with maximum safety, a short duration, and fast recovery.

In addition to religious and cultural reasons, circumcision is often recommended for medical indications such as phimosis, recurring infections, and hygiene issues.

Thanks to modern techniques, the procedure is painless, and the aesthetic and functional results are extremely satisfying.

Circumcision is also recommended as a preventive measure for individuals with a predisposition to infections or chronic inflammation.

The surgical approach is chosen individually, depending on the patient's age, health status, and needs.

Our goal is for every intervention to be as simple, fast, and with a minimal recovery period as possible.

When is circumcision medically necessary?

Circumcision is recommended when there is a narrowing of the foreskin (phimosis) that makes urination or sexual activities difficult.

It is also advised for frequent foreskin infections (balanoposthitis), poor hygiene, or complications in diabetics.

The surgery is performed when phimosis does not resolve spontaneously or causes infections.

In adults, it is also done for aesthetic or preventive reasons, after a consultation with a urologist.

Sometimes the intervention is necessary to prevent chronic irritation or injury to the glans.

In patients with recurrent urinary tract infections, circumcision significantly reduces the risk of recurrence.

In cases of paraphimosis (when the foreskin gets stuck behind the glans), the surgery is urgent and cannot be postponed.

What does the circumcision procedure look like?

The procedure is performed under local or brief general anesthesia and lasts between 20 and 40 minutes.

The surgeon removes the excess foreskin and carefully shapes the edges to preserve functionality and aesthetics.

After the surgery, a sterile dressing is applied, and the patient receives instructions on home care.

The entire procedure is safe, and complications are rare with proper postoperative recovery.

The procedure is performed quickly and with minimal stress for the patient.

Adult patients are encouraged to maintain detailed hygiene and avoid strenuous activity for a few days.

In most cases, the sutures are spontaneously absorbed, and no additional removal is needed.

Recovery and recommendations after circumcision

Most patients leave the hospital on the same day, and discomfort lasts for a few days.

Wearing loose clothing, maintaining hygiene of the area, and regularly changing the dressing are recommended.

The sutures are self-dissolving and do not require removal, with full recovery occurring in 7 to 14 days.

Sexual activity and physical exertion are postponed until complete healing, usually two to three weeks.

Slight redness or swelling is possible, but it subsides within a few days with regular monitoring.

It's important to follow the doctor's advice and monitor for signs of potential complications like bleeding or infection.

A follow-up examination is performed 7 days after the procedure to assess healing and the result.

Benefits of circumcision

Circumcision contributes to better hygiene, a reduced risk of infections, and easier maintenance of the genital area.

Medical studies show a lower risk of HIV, HPV, and other sexually transmitted infections in circumcised men.

It reduces the risk of developing phimosis, paraphimosis, and balanoposthitis, as well as glans cancer in older individuals.

In addition to health benefits, many patients also report aesthetic and functional improvement after the intervention.

Long-term, it reduces the need for antibiotics for urological infections.

It provides a permanent solution for numerous urological problems that occur due to an inelastic or inflamed foreskin.
