Since circumcision takes a very short time, no matter how old the baby is, his movements do not prevent circumcision. During circumcision, holding the legs for a short time is sufficient. Body movements do not cause any problems. Movement does not cause any harm after circumcision. In short, the baby's mobility does not cause any difficulty in circumcision.
The fact that the baby is too small is not an obstacle. On the contrary, because younger babies have a higher pain threshold, they are more resistant to pain than older children. The pain during the circumcision procedure is definitely not something that babies cannot bear.
There is a belief among the public that those who were circumcised as babies should be circumcised again in the future. This is absolutely not true. If the foreskin is cut in the appropriate amount and correctly in experienced hands, there is no such risk. However, during infancy, skin folds appear around the penis due to thick fatty tissues pushing the skin. This appearance is completely normal for a baby's penis, and as the child grows, it acquires the penis shape that families are used to.
The situation where the tip of the penis is too narrow, that is, phimosis (Bitik), does not make the circumcision process difficult. Since the tip of the penis is opened after anesthesia, it does not cause additional pain to the baby. Redness and crusting are slightly more common in these babies after circumcision.
As long as there is no additional disease (e.g. neurological disorders, serious heart-lung disease), suffocation and death due to crying not seen. A normal baby will eventually continue to breathe, even if he holds his breath for a very short time while crying.
Your baby's vaccinations do not constitute an obstacle to circumcision. Vaccinations can be done even on the day of circumcision.
Cutting the foreskin is done surgically.
Pain after circumcision is usually limited to one day. On the fourth day, the wound heals. Starting from the seventh day, risks such as bleeding and infection disappear and the baby returns to daily life.
In surgical circumcision, there is no possibility of damaging the penis nerves. Therefore, no matter what age it is performed, it does not cause sexual function problems. Za Regardless of the method of circumcision, the foreskin must be cut and separated from the body in some way.
Since the baby will not be given general anesthesia, circumcision can be performed during mild flu infections. However, if the baby has a very severe flu with high fever, we do not want to put a second stress on the baby.
There is no preparation required before circumcision. There is no need for the child to go hungry, families can feed their children and come. However, we may ask for a maximum of 2-3 hours of fasting in order to put the child to sleep during the circumcision.
If a fever occurs after circumcision, he may be suffering from a fever due to a microbe he contracted a few days ago. If the fever persists, see a pediatrician to understand the cause. Babies do not have fever due to circumcision. Even if the circumcision area becomes infected, the baby will not have a fever.
There may be pain when urinating. Especially the first urine will be a bit troublesome. This is normal as the head of the penis has just emerged. Some babies may even not want to urinate due to pain. However, even if he does not want to urinate at all, he cannot hold it in for long and will definitely do it. If you cannot urinate for a long time, inform your doctor immediately.
No dressing or special wound care is required. However, the healing process of each circumcision is different. Therefore, do not compare your baby with other circumcised babies.
You can take a shower every day starting from the 2nd day after circumcision.
