It is possible to prevent meatal stenosis by applying petroleum jelly to the glans in the two weeks that follow circumcision. The Canadian Paediatric Society recommends its application for six months.<\/li>\n<li>It is common to see partial re-adherence of penile skin to the glans. Such adhesions often resolve spontaneously by puberty. When they are extensive, however, they may benefit from treatment with topical steroid preparation. Surgical lysis is rarely required.<\/li>\n<li>Surgical procedures, including circumcision, are painful. Even with procedural analgesia, individuals experience postprocedural pain that must be treated. Pain can be reduced by using Tylenol, a 24% oral sucrose solution and local anesthesia with lidocaine.<\/li>\n<li>Severe complications, such as partial amputation of the penis and death from hemorrhage or sepsis, are very rare occurrences and never happened in our practice.<\/li>\n<li>The foreskin covers the glans and has an abundance of sensory nerves. No medical study states that circumcision has a negative impact on sexual performance or satisfaction in relationships.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Contraindications <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Circumcision procedures cannot be performed if your baby boy has an uncommon medical condition. These conditions include congenital abnormalities of the external genitalia such as hypospadias or bleeding disorders such as hemophilia. Additionally, we will not perform circumcision procedures if your infant is sick and unstable, has an active local skin irritation or diaper rash, or has active diarrhea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consultation <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can book an appointment via this website.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\"><li role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-3f95a1b507b689fe6e7\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-preparing\" href=\"#tab-3f95a1b507b689fe6e7\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Preparing<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-preparing\" id=\"tab-3f95a1b507b689fe6e7\">\n<h2>Preparing for the procedure<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Please give your newborn Tylenol or Tempra one hour prior to the appointment.

Leave it in place for a full day.\u202f You can remove it 24 hours later during the first bath. If the gauze falls off, replace it with a fresh Vaseline-soaked gauze, put it over the penis, and close the diaper.<\/p>\n<p>If your baby still feels discomfort from the\u202fcircumcision, give extra doses of Tempra, Tylenol or acetaminophen every four hours as needed.<\/p>\n<p>If the white gauze is soiled with urine, there is no need to replace it. However, if it is soiled with stool, remove the gauze, rinse the buttock area with warm water, and apply a new Vaseline-soaked gauze. Use disposable diapers for the first week, as they cause less irritation and help keep the area drier and cleaner. There will undoubtedly be penis discolouration and light blood stains on the gauze and diaper during each diaper change. A yellowish membrane around the penis is part of the healing process*.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Post-circumcision Instructions <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Examine your son\u2019s diaper every hour for the rest of the day to find signs of any new blood. Minimal amounts of blood are normal, but active bleeding is not. Active bleeding is rare, but when it occurs, the most common causes include overly aggressive cleanings, insufficient Vaseline applications, or too much pressure at the base of the penis for retraction. In these situations, grasp the penis with a room temperature wet cloth between your thumb and two fingers and maintain firm pressure for three to five minutes. Repeat as needed. If you are worried about active bleeding, call us.<\/li>\n<li>You can give a sponge bath 24 hours after the\u202f circumcision. To remove the dressing, use some warm water. If some bleeding occurs, maintain firm pressure for three to five minutes. Gently clean the area around the penis with a warm washcloth. Do not use alcohol, powders or lotion, as these may cause irritation. Keep giving sponge baths for the next five days.<\/li>\n<li>It is not necessary to apply a dressing in the 24 hours that follow the first bath. However, keep applying generous amounts of Vaseline after every diaper change. Put a generous amount of Vaseline on your finger and rub it over the incision site, placing a thick layer of ointment over the entire head of the penis to prevent the exposed foreskin from adhering to the diaper or forming adhesions with the penis glans. Repeat procedure for two weeks.<\/li>\n<li>*In the first few days, there may be an off-white or yellowish patchy appearance or discolouration of the glans. This is not a sign of pus or infection; the glans may have this colour up to two weeks after the circumcision. Though rare, infection may occur. Common signs of infection include pus-like discharge, foul smell, severe inflammation or fever. If your son shows any of these signs, if he has not urinated in over 12 hours, or if you are unsure of the appearance, call us.<\/li>\n<li>If the skin has moved up slightly over the head of the penis, gently apply pressure on the SIDES of the penis to ensure it heals properly without any adhesions.\u202f Do not push the skin at the margin where the foreskin was removed for the first 24 hours, for it will be swollen from the procedure.<\/li>\n<li>You will notice a spongier ring at the base of the penis head (the mucosal ring). It is sometimes more prominent on one side than the other. This is normal and should not be cause for concern.<\/li>\n<li>The area around the glans will become swollen, especially the underside. This is normal; swelling will subside within a few weeks.<\/li>\n<li>You may notice a band on the bottom of the penis after circumcision. This band is called the frenulum. This should not be cause for concern.<\/li>\n<li>Aesthetics are a common concern for parents. Like other body parts, penises come in all shapes and sizes. Although most penises return to their normal state following the circumcision, some penises do not take on a completely normal appearance until they start to grow, after the puberty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1643.2px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Why Choose The Bercier Clinic for Your Newborn&#8217;s Circumcision?<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>At Bercier Clinic, our focus is on providing compassionate, reliable, and personalized care for every family.
