CHILD & TEEN CIRCUMCISION
Circumcision for children and teens, whether for medical reasons or personal preference, can be performed at any age, and it's crucial to choose a qualified professional and discuss the risks and benefits with a doctor. We are often asked about the ideal age for a boy’s circumcision, and whether there is a point at which a child may be deemed too old for the procedure. The answer to this question is that circumcision can be performed on boys and men of all ages, from infants to adults .
WHAT TO EXPECT
Circumcision for teens and younger boys is a routine procedure at Advanced Circumcision Sydney, using ZSR system.
DR. MAMUN will explain the whole process and approaches being taken for the final procedure.
We appreciate that the circumcision surgery can lead to have anxiety and concerns for boys and parents but our dedicate team will be involving actively communicating with the parents, caregivers and patients during, before and after the procedure. More importantly we'll be able to communicate directly with DR. MAMUN before and after the procedure until you are satisfied.
Circumcision procedure for the teens
The procedure steps are the same for all ages.​
• The procedure is done under strict aseptic precautions. Local anesthetics are used to numb the foreskin.
• Once adequate anaesthesia is achieved, the ZSR circumcision procedure is done.
• Once the Adolescents Circumcision surgery is done, the effect of anaesthesia will slowly ware off
and some discomfort will be felt first few days. This can be prevented by taking
regular paracetamol / nurofen and can apply ice to the area.
• It is advised to rest first 2-3 days post operatively. Certain physical activities like running, swimming, sports, heavy lifting etc must be avoided until the ring falls off. Doing regular activities or going back to school shouldn't be a problem.
• Once the healing process is progressing well and no pain or discomfort, these activities could be slowly introduced.
