Some families, when they come for an examination, have ideas such as "Since we are here, let's get the circumcision done right away" or "Let the circumcision be done right away". However, pre-circumcision examination becomes important in many aspects.
By having a pre-circumcision examination;
1. Both the family and the child (if they are older) should see and meet the doctor. In this way, trust must be established. Children should see the environment where they will be circumcised and not feel unfamiliar. This becomes much more important, especially in older children.
2. What will be done should be discussed with the family in advance and the circumcision should be prepared.
3. It should be discussed in detail beforehand, and if the child has an allergy history, an allergy test should be performed beforehand.
4. If there is a family history of bleeding or clotting disorders (such as hemophilia), a test should be done beforehand.
5. You will be evaluated for other diseases that may be detected during the pre-circumcision examination.
What diseases may be detected during the pre-circumcision examination?
- Hypospadias (the opening of the urinary hole). being lower than normal).
- Phimosis (narrow foreskin).
- Bitik (foreskin being stuck to the penis).
- Smegma cyst ( swelling under the foreskin like a yellow cheese cut).
- Undescended testicle.
- Hydrocele.
- Inguinal hernia.
- Penis curvature.
- Short foreskin, deformity.
- Rotation anomaly of the penis (turning the penis).
- Buried Penis
In some of these diseases; Circumcision should not be performed in cases such as severe hypospadias, penile curvature, penis rotation anomaly (penis pointing), buried penis. Surgery may be decided on a date to be determined according to the child's age.
For diseases such as undescended testicles, hernia, and hydrocele, surgery for these diseases and circumcision can be performed at the same time. By talking to the family, a decision can be made about whether the surgery should be performed together or separately.
Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure. It should be taken into consideration both psychologically and surgically.
As a result; If you do not want to encounter any surprises during the circumcision, be sure to be examined by your doctor before the circumcision.
