What is laser circumcision?
Laser circumcision is a surgery, where the doctor removes excess foreskin from the penis with a surgical laser. The use of a laser in surgery grants a number of advantages, including reduced bleeding, nicer wound places and faster healing. If this technique is the patient's circumcision options, the doctor may recommend it. Patients may also ask about devices that offer laser circumcision if they prefer this method.
circumcision can be done for many reasons. This procedure is practiced by several religions, and in some countries it is a standard practice in hospitals after the birth of infants for social reasons. Adults can undergo circumcision if certain health conditions develop that cause foreskin problems such as phimosis, where the foreskin becomes too tight and cut off the circulation. It stretches it over the head of the penis and leads along it a small surgical laser to create a clean cut. Lasers cauterize as they cut and the patientshould experience minimal bleeding. After surgery, several soluble stitches are necessary to maintain the tissue in place while healing.
General anesthesia is also available for circumcision, although it is usually not recommended because it carries considerable risks. If the patient already needs it for another procedure, the doctor may offer to organize circumcision simultaneously, such as if the urologist is already performing the genital operation.
After the circumcision of the laser, the patient notices some pain, redness and pain. The doctor can prescribe some mild treatment of pain to make the patient comfortable, and it is also advisable to take anti -inflammatorymen to reduce swelling. Silting the weakness can help if the patient experiences considerable swelling. The doctor usually does not have to see the cut again, but can recommend it if there are concerns about complications. For example, if a patient reports changes in skin color or strange discharge, this may be proof of infection.
When a physician recommends circumcision, patients may want to discuss the risks and benefits of circumcision of laser and other options. If this is done for religious reasons, the patient and/or parents may want to meet a religious official to see if laser circumcision is religiously suitable. Most religions approve of the use of advanced medical techniques for this procedure, but it may be reassuring to an official religious confirmation.
