Some families prefer to have their children circumcised at an older age due to various reasons such as the child’s health, family circumstances, or cultural traditions. Circumcising older boys requires special attention as it can be a challenging and anxious time for both the parents and the child. At our clinic, we understand these concerns and strive to provide a calming and reassuring experience for everyone involved.
For this age group, the most common procedure performed is the Plastibell method. However, some families may opt for different methods such as surgical forceps-guided circumcision. Regardless of the chosen method, we ensure that the process is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Before the procedure, we conduct a thorough consultation with the parents and the child. This includes a detailed explanation of the procedure, the benefits, and the potential risks involved. We also provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to answering all questions and addressing any concerns the parents might have.
During the procedure, we use local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. The process typically takes about 5-10 minutes. We take great care to make sure that the child is comfortable and that the parents are well-informed and reassured throughout the procedure.
After the circumcision, parents will receive written aftercare instructions and all necessary supplies, including creams and contact information for any questions or concerns that may arise during the recovery period. We provide 24/7 emergency contact numbers to ensure that parents can reach out to us at any time if they have any issues or worries.
Follow-up visits are not always required, but if the doctor feels it is necessary, we will arrange an appointment to monitor the child’s healing progress and address any concerns. Our goal is to provide the highest level of care and support for both the child and the parents during this important time.
Circumcising older boys is a significant decision that involves careful consideration and preparation. At our clinic, we are committed to ensuring that the procedure is handled with the utmost care, professionalism, and empathy, providing peace of mind and support to families every step of the way.
