Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin (prepuce) covering the tip of the penis. The foreskin can sometimes cause medical problems if it becomes tight, infected, or difficult to retract.
When performed by an experienced urologist, circumcision not only resolves existing issues but also helps prevent future complications related to penile health.
Circumcision may be advised for several medical conditions, including:
Phimosis occurs when the foreskin cannot be retracted over the glans (head) of the penis. This condition can cause pain, difficulty in urination, and repeated infections.
Paraphimosis is an emergency condition where the retracted foreskin cannot return to its normal position, leading to swelling and restricted blood flow.
Repeated infections of the foreskin or glans (balanitis or balanoposthitis) may require circumcision to prevent recurrence.
In some cases, circumcision helps reduce the risk of urinary tract infections, especially in children.
Circumcision can make genital hygiene easier, reducing the accumulation of bacteria and secretions under the foreskin.
As the best urologist in Kolkata, Dr. Souvik Chatterjee evaluates each patient thoroughly before recommending circumcision, ensuring it is medically appropriate and beneficial.
Modern urology offers different circumcision techniques depending on age, medical condition, and patient preference.
This method involves precise surgical removal of the foreskin under local or regional anesthesia. It is a well-established and reliable technique.
Stapler circumcision is a modern technique that uses a disposable surgical device to remove the foreskin quickly and accurately. It offers advantages such as:
Laser circumcision uses focused laser energy to remove the foreskin with high precision. It reduces bleeding, lowers infection risk, and allows faster recovery.
Dr. Chatterjee selects the most suitable technique based on the patient’s condition and comfort, ensuring optimal outcomes.
