Phimosis patient wants to know how to prepare for circumcsion
i cant retract my foreskin at all because my opening is so small,and i am planning on getting circumcised.will i need to do anything special prior to the operation and will that cause any complications or any difficulties during or after the procedure?
Jason
Hi Jason,
Thank you for your interest in what we do. To answer your question, do not manipulate your foreskin or traumatize it for a few days before surgery. Better for me to see what is actually phimotic (or contracrted) as that has to go. Most probably you will not have a high circucmsion , could be moderate to low, but if I leave any scar tissue behind you’ll have big time swelling of ther distal shaft once that ring of scar tissue is re-sited above your head.
We have performed over 6000 cosmetic circumcisions in the past 35 years and usually do several cases every week.
We do ask that you stay for one, ideally 2 days at the Baltic Hotel (advanced tourist class) and I will see you there daily.
You could return to an office environment 3 days after circumcision. Our 2 layered wrap of soft conforming gauze and Coban will provide comfort and reduce swelling.
We have done sons of physicians, medical students and residents, brothers, religious circumcisions, men who have not seen the heads of their penis for 20 years. This is your circumcision and we do it the way you want with respect to 4 parameters.
Please don’t be like the patient who writes: “Dr. Reed I just got circumcised two days ago and my result was not what i expected. I was wondering when i recover can i get a consultation with you.” Photos sent
and received (unspoken comment “disaster zone”)
Be assured we will show you every courtesy,
With kindest regards,
Harold M. Reed, M.D.
