Read More »Overview What is circumcision? Circumcision removes the foreskin covering the glans (head) of the penis. Usually, babies undergo circumcision shortly after birth. Circumcision began as a religious rite. Today, people get circumcised for religious, medical and cultural reasons. Many baby boys get circumcised, usually within the first week of life. Adults can get circumcised as well, though it’s less common. What is the foreskin? The foreskin is a piece of skin that covers the round tip of the penis. When a baby is born, the foreskin is completely attached to the penis. Over time, the foreskin separates from the head of the penis and is able to be retracted, or pulled back. Sometimes, the foreskin doesn’t separate when it should and remains tight, a condition called phimosis. Usually phimosis requires further intervention or circumcision to correct it. How common is circumcision? Circumcision is the most common surgery among males. In the United States, up to 60% of baby boys are circumcised. Around the world, the rate is about 33% of males. The highest rates of circumcision are in the U.S., Middle East and South Korea. It’s much less common in Europe, other parts of Asia and South America. Jewish and Muslim people perform circumcision as part of their religions. When are most circumcisions performed? Typically, circumcisions happen a day or two after birth, in the hospital. It’s best to do it as soon as possible. Delaying the procedure can make it riskier. In the Jewish faith, circumcision (also called a bris) gets performed when a baby is 8 days old. Other cultures perform circumcision at a later age. Who performs a circumcision? A urologist, obstetrician or pediatrician can do the circumcision on the newborn in the hospital. A healthcare provider can also perform it later, in the office. In a bris, a trained professional called a mohel performs the circumcision. Procedure Details What happens before a circumcision? Your provider may recommend giving the baby some acetaminophen to help with pain relief. In most cases before the procedure, the person doing the circumcision will: Place the baby on his back. Gently restrain the baby’s arms and legs, so his limbs don’t flail during the procedure. Clean his penis. Apply an anesthetic, either an injection or a cream, so the baby won’t feel pain. What happens during a circumcision? The person doing the baby’s circumcision: Separates the foreskin from the head of the penis. Uses a scalpel to remove the foreskin. What happens after a circumcision? Immediately after removing the foreskin, the person doing the procedure applies ointment and wraps the penis in gauze. How long does circumcision take? The entire procedure takes approximately 20 minutes. Often, a bris takes less time. Is circumcision painful? Like any surgery, circumcision can cause some pain. But using pain medications and anesthetics can reduce discomfort. These can help both during the procedure and afterward. Can an adult get circumcised? Yes. People who were not circumcised as babies may choose to undergo circumcision as an adult. Generally, the procedure is the same for older boys and adults as it is for babies. You’ll likely have the procedure in the hospital, using anesthesia. The surgery may take slightly longer than it does for infants. You will need stitches after the circumcision, too. Your healthcare provider will talk to you about recovery, including when you can resume having sex. Risks / Benefits What are the risks of circumcision? Circumcision is a routine, safe procedure.
