Ideal Age for Circumcision
Parents often ask us about the best age to circumcise their sons. Our experience, including a thorough audit of our results, indicates that the ideal window is between 3 days and 6 weeks old.
This timeframe offers several advantages:
Faster Healing
Newborns possess remarkable healing abilities, promoting optimal outcomes.
Reduced Complications
Our data shows the lowest rate of complications when circumcision is performed during this early period.
Enhanced Comfort
While local anesthesia is always used, newborns may experience reduced discomfort due to their less developed nervous systems.
Before Your Baby’s Circumcision
Every baby is unique, which is why we begin with a personalized assessment and consultation with a doctor. This helps us understand your reasons for wanting the procedure and ensure there are no medical reasons why circumcision might not be suitable for your child.
- Reasons for Circumcision: There are many motivations for circumcision: religious, social, cultural, or for certain medical issues.
- Doctor’s Assessment: If any concerns are found during the assessment, we’ll provide a referral to a specialist for further guidance.
The Circumcision Procedure
We understand that this procedure can cause some anxiety. Here’s what you can expect to ensure your comfort and your baby’s safety:
- Pain Management: A local anesthetic is always used, providing safe and effective pain relief for your baby.
- Proven Technique: Our doctors are specialized in the Circumplast or Plastibell ring method, a technique widely used for its safety and effectiveness.
- Quick and Efficient: The procedure takes approximately 10-15 minutes.
Aftercare for Your Baby
Proper aftercare helps ensure a healthy recovery. Here’s what to expect and how to help your little one:
- Healing: Some swelling is normal and will gradually subside in a few weeks.
- Pain Relief: Simple over-the-counter pain relief medication (like Paracetamol) can be given for the first 48 hours. Follow the instructions provided.
- Keeping it Clean: Regularly bathing with a small amount of salt in the water and applying Vaseline with diaper changes helps prevent infection.
- Ring Separation: The plastic ring will fall off naturally within 3-14 days, usually closer to a week. Contact us if it doesn’t fall off in 14 days or if there are position changes.
Potential Risks and What to Do
No procedure is entirely risk-free, but circumcision is very safe. It’s important to be aware of potential (although rare) side effects:
- Warning Signs: Contact us immediately if you notice fever, excessive bleeding, unusual irritability, difficulty passing urine, or signs of infection.
- Rare Complications: In extremely rare cases, further procedures might be needed.
- We’re here for you: Dr. Khan provides 24-hour support, and we’ll arrange follow-up advice or consultations if needed.
