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.
