Patient's question:
While chatting with friends about bags, I felt like I might want to get circumcised. But I'm afraid of pain. Is it painful to have a circumcision?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision surgery requires the implementation of anesthesia before the procedure, as the surgery is performed after the anesthetic medication takes effect. Post-anesthesia incisions generally do not cause pain during the treatment process because local anesthesia is used. Under local anesthesia, patients can feel touch but will not feel pain. If the pain is not particularly severe, the incision pain after surgery for many patients can be relieved by taking oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Circumcision refers to the removal of excess foreskin from the penis to expose the glans, which is an effective treatment for phimosis, excessive foreskin, and prevention of its complications. It is a minor surgical procedure that generally does not require hospitalization, with lower risks.
