Does the circumcision surgery hurt?

Patient's question:

Is it painful to have circumcision or phimosis? Or is it more painful during the healing period after the procedure? I've heard from people around me that it can be very painful, and it's even more painful when the dressing is reapplied during the healing process. Due to the difficulty in discussing this condition, I've been putting it off until now.

Doctor's answer:

Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure. Generally, following the doctor's guidance, it heals quickly with minimal scarring and few complications. Currently, minimally invasive surgery is used, and anesthesia is administered during the procedure, resulting in mild pain. It is recommended that you have this surgery in a reputable hospital. In the days leading up to the surgery, it is best to bathe thoroughly, ensuring cleanliness. Circumcision and phimosis can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and there is a higher risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
