What is Circumcision?

• Circumcision removes the foreskin covering the
  glans (head) of the penis. Usually, babies
  undergo circumcision shortly after birth.
  Circumcision began as a religious rite. Today,
  people get circumcised for religious, medical and
  cultural reasons.
• Many baby boys get circumcised, usually within
  the first week of life. Adults can get
  circumcised as well, though its less common.

Procedure

• During a circumcision, the penis and foreskin are
  cleaned and the foreskin is removed. Parents
  should talk with their doctor about pain relief
  choices to help reduce any discomfort during the
  procedure, and for several hours after the
  procedure. A topical numbing cream can be put on
  the penis before the procedure or an injectable
  anesthetic can be used to numb the area before
  the procedure. Along with the anesthetic,
  acetaminophen is sometimes given as well.

After Procedure

• After circumcision, caring for the penis is
  simple but important. Wash the area gently with
  warm water. Pat dry and put on a new bandage with
  antibiotic ointment each time you change the
  diaper. It should take about a week to heal. It's
  normal for there to be a little swelling, redness
  and maybe blood at first. If these problems last
  several days or seem worse, have your baby seen
  by a doctor. Also talk to your baby's doctor if
  he gets a fever or doesn't have a wet diaper
  within 12 hours of circumcision.
