Ways Adults Can Prepare For Ontario Circumcision Surgery

By Susan Thomas


The choice to get circumcised as an adult is a big one. To ensure that everything goes as expected, you need to find a dependable local surgeon and also effectively prepare for your operation and recovery period. The fact that Ontario circumcision surgery is an outpatient procedure comes as a breath of fresh air to many adults who have chosen to undergo the cut.

The operation will involve the surgeon removing the skin that covers the tip of your penis. This skin is referred to as the foreskin. The skin will be pushed forward trimmed and the edges sewed together using a medical suture. Even though most men undergo the surgery because of hygiene, religious or aesthetic reasons, others will get circumcised because of a condition known as phimosis that limits the ability of the foreskin to roll back.

The first thing you should do when preparing for a procedure is to consult with your primary care doctor. Inform the practitioner about the natural products and prescribed medicines that you are taking. In case you are taking blood thinners such as aspirins, it may be necessary for the medicine to be changed or for you to have to take a break for about a week to your operation.

You should prepare to go without eating for at least six hours before your surgery. In case you will be under a general anesthesia, you can have a small amount of water beforehand. Bear in mind that any food in your system during an operation can put your life in danger.

For adults, it is important to clean and shave the public area before surgery. You also want to carry some tight briefs that will allow the surgical dressing to remain put as you leave the hospital. Normally, it is best to have a decent number of tight briefs that you can wear at home, until the swelling and soreness subsides.

Quitting the cigarette is also necessary if you want the operation to be successful and the healing process smooth. Nicotine can slow down the process of healing by triggering unexpected bleeding. If you consume alcohol, quit the bottle for about two days to your operation. Alcohol can leave your body dehydrated and also hinder the anesthesia from being effective.

A general anesthesia will knock you out during surgery. Its effects may still linger within your system hours after you are allowed to go home. It is hence crucial to have someone that can drive you to your house. Resting for a few days would also be good, though you can head back to work immediately if need be. You will be offered pain medication to help with the pain and discomfort you may experience during the first few days.

There are more than a few benefits allied with getting circumcised. First, you will be immune to concerns such as balanitis and phimosis and you will also be at reduced risk of contracting HIV infections. Then again, cleaning the penis effectively will not be a hassle.
