Overview

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the tip of the penis. It is performed for medical, religious, or cultural reasons. At R.K. Hospital, Indrapuri, Bhopal, Dr. Rajesh Kanungo performs safe and hygienic circumcision surgery using modern techniques including stapler and conventional methods with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.

Symptoms

Common symptoms of circumcision include:

  • Phimosis -- tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back over the head of the penis
  • Recurrent infections of the foreskin (balanitis) -- redness, swelling, discharge
  • Paraphimosis -- foreskin stuck behind the head of the penis, unable to return to normal position
  • Religious or cultural reasons for circumcision
  • Medical recommendation by a doctor for hygiene or recurrent infections

Causes & Risk Factors

  • Phimosis -- congenital or acquired tightening of the foreskin
  • Recurrent balanitis (infection of the glans and foreskin)
  • Paraphimosis requiring emergency or planned circumcision
  • Balanoposthitis -- inflammation of the glans and foreskin due to poor hygiene
  • Penile skin conditions (lichen sclerosus or balanitis xerotica obliterans)

Emergency: 0755-4260605 (24/7)

Diagnosis

To diagnose circumcision, our doctors may recommend:

Physical examination by a surgeon
Assessment of foreskin retractability
Evaluation for signs of infection or scarring
Blood tests (CBC, bleeding time, clotting time) before surgery
Blood sugar test to rule out diabetes (important for healing)

Diagnostic facilities available at our hospital include pathology lab, X-ray, and ultrasound.

Treatment Options

Stapler circumcision -- modern technique using a disposable stapler device for precise, quick surgery
Conventional (open) circumcision -- traditional surgical method with sutures
Dorsal slit procedure -- for emergency relief of paraphimosis
Topical steroid cream for mild phimosis in children (non-surgical option)
Post-operative wound care and antibiotic ointment

When to See a Doctor

  • Inability to retract the foreskin (phimosis) causing difficulty with urination or hygiene
  • Recurrent foreskin infections despite treatment
  • Foreskin stuck in retracted position (paraphimosis -- needs urgent attention)
  • Ballooning of foreskin during urination (in children)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of circumcision surgery in Bhopal?

Circumcision cost depends on the technique used (stapler vs conventional) and whether it is performed under local or general anaesthesia. R.K. Hospital, Indrapuri offers affordable circumcision surgery. Call 0755-4260605 for pricing and appointment.

How long does it take to recover from circumcision?

Most patients recover within 7-10 days. Stapler circumcision generally heals faster with less discomfort compared to conventional surgery. Patients can usually return to normal activities within a week. Follow-up care is provided at R.K. Hospital.

What is the difference between stapler and conventional circumcision?

Stapler circumcision uses a disposable device that cuts and seals simultaneously, resulting in less bleeding, less pain, and faster healing. Conventional circumcision uses a scalpel and sutures. Both are safe and effective. Dr. Rajesh Kanungo at R.K. Hospital can advise the best option.

At what age can circumcision be done?

Circumcision can be performed at any age from infancy to adulthood. For medical reasons like phimosis, it is commonly done in childhood or adolescence. In adults, it is a simple day-care procedure. Our surgeons at R.K. Hospital, Indrapuri handle circumcision for all age groups safely.
