❓ What is Circumcision (Posthectomy)?
Circumcision (posthectomy) is a simple and quick medical procedure that involves removing the foreskin—the skin covering the head of the penis.
Ideally performed on newborns between 5 and 30 days old, our doctor also performs circumcisions on older babies, young boys, teenagers, and adults.

We will then inform you of the required lab tests.
Once we receive the results, we will schedule the circumcision date.
💉 Anesthesia – How Is Pain Managed?
A 4-step protocol is followed to effectively manage pain:
-
Paracetamol: Parents are asked to give paracetamol to the child 30 minutes before the appointment.
-
Sweet Pacifier: A sweetened pacifier is used during the procedure to help reduce pain perception.
-
Topical Local Anesthesia: An anesthetic cream or spray is applied to numb the area and reduce the sting of the injection.
-
Injected Local Anesthesia: A fine needle is used to inject the anesthetic into the already numbed area. This targets the nerve of the penis and takes effect in about one minute.
-
Visual Distraction: To further reduce anxiety and pain, a large screen is provided so children can watch whatever they like. Visual distraction can be just as effective—sometimes even more—than anesthesia in calming pain.
ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT:
Here are a few important guidelines to follow on the day of the circumcision:
-
Plan to stay at the clinic for about one hour.
-
Feed your son before leaving home so he isn’t hungry during the procedure.
-
Arrive 15 minutes early and bring two blankets and diapers.
-
If you arrive late, your appointment may be rescheduled.
-
30 minutes before the appointment, give your son paracetamol appropriate for his age and weight.
-
Do not give aspirin or ibuprofen, as they may increase the risk of bleeding.
HOW DOES CIRCUMCISION TAKE PLACE?
Before the circumcision, the doctor performs a full clinical examination of the child and an ultrasound if necessary.
Next, the doctor cleans the glans and performs retraction of the foreskin, also known as "décalottage." This process involves gently pulling back or removing the foreskin (the skin covering the head of the penis) to expose the glans.
The circumcision is then performed by removing the foreskin using an
HOW TO CARE FOR THE AREA AFTER CIRCUMCISION
After circumcision, it’s important to take proper care of the treated area by following these recommendations:
-
Keep the treated area clean and dry.
-
Change diapers more frequently during the first week to keep the area clean and dry.
-
Gently clean around the penis with warm water and a soft cloth, then dry immediately with a towel.
-
Do not use wet wipes, alcohol, powders, or lotions, as they may irritate the wound.
-
Avoid unnecessary car rides, as movement can irritate the freshly circumcised penis.
DURING THE FIRST 24 HOURS:
It’s normal for your baby to be a bit irritable during the first 24 hours after circumcision.
-
Make sure he is comfortably swaddled — the less he moves his legs, the more comfortable he’ll feel.
-
While sleeping, your baby may be more comfortable lying on his side.
-
Avoid laying him on his stomach.
-
Most babies sleep well after the circumcision.
-
Provide care in a calm environment.
-
If your baby cries for more than a few minutes, he may have swallowed air during the procedure.
-
Try to burp him gently, making sure not to apply pressure to the penis.
-
-
For the first three days after the surgery, limit hygiene to sponge baths only.
-
Check the diaper every hour for signs of active bleeding.
-
If he is asleep, just look at the front of the diaper.
-
If there is no visible blood, there is likely no active bleeding.
-
Every diaper change may show coin-sized blood spots and lightly blood-stained gauze—this is normal.
-
-
If the dressing falls off early, apply a thin layer of ointment to a gauze and gently cover the penis until the Day 3 check-up.
-
After Day 3, without a dressing, it’s normal for the penis to appear discolored, with drops of blood and bits of skin at the tip.
-
A yellowish membrane that appears at the tip or around the penis is part of the normal healing process and is not a sign of infection.
-
Keep the baby's legs wrapped in a blanket as much as possible.
AFTER 1 DAY:
-
At every diaper change, spray eosin from a distance without touching the bandage or penis.
-
Wait until it is completely dry before putting the diaper or clothes back on.
AFTER 2 DAYS:
-
If the skin starts to cover the tip of the penis, gently push it back just behind the head to ensure proper healing.
-
Do not press on the skin during the first 48 hours to avoid swelling.
FROM DAY 3 ONWARD:
-
After the Day 3 check-up, start applying ointment to the incision area and over the entire tip of the penis.
AFTER 2 WEEKS:
-
You may now give your baby a full bath.
-
Stop applying ointment to the penis.
If you have any questions or concerns about the appearance of your child’s penis, please don’t hesitate to call us.
You can also send photos directly to the doctor via WhatsApp for further advice.
HEALING IS GENERALLY QUICK AND OCCURS IN SEVERAL STAGES:
24 Hours:
The surgical wound begins to heal, and bleeding usually stops by the end of the day.
Days 1–2:
The glans may appear off-white, yellowish, or spotted. These spots resemble scabs and are a normal part of the healing process.
Days 3–7:
Some parents may notice swelling of the mucosal tissue behind or under the tip of the penis, which may look like a blister. This type of swelling is normal and will gradually disappear.
Weeks 1–2:
The area just behind the glans (especially underneath) may swell, then gradually reduce.
Up to 2 Weeks:
A few days after the procedure, the incision area may appear green or yellow.
This does not mean there is pus; it indicates that the tissue is healing.
The color usually returns to normal within 14 days.
After About 1 Month:
The glans may appear bright red or even purplish.
This is because the skin covering the glans in an uncircumcised penis is a mucous membrane.
Once exposed, this membrane hardens in a process called keratinization.
It takes around 30 days for the penis to reach its normal healed appearance.
General Appearance:
After circumcision, it’s completely normal for parents to be concerned about the appearance of their son’s penis.
Keep in mind that penises come in many different shapes and sizes.
Most penises appear “normal” just a few days after circumcision, but some may not look completely “normal” until the child begins to grow.
Additionally, the penis may seem smaller after circumcision.
This is due to the loosening of the skin surrounding the penis—before circumcision, this skin helps hold the penis in a more upright position.
