How To Prepare For Ontario Circumcision As An Adult

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.

In order to get prepped for surgery, you need to inform your primary doctor about your attentions. The professional will review your medications and also ask about any natural products that you are taking. If you are under blood thinners like aspirins, your medication has to be changed or discontinued for several days before your procedure.

Before you get under the knife, you should be on an empty stomach. It is dangerous to eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours before an operation. If you prefer the doctor using general anesthesia, you are allowed to take a few sips of water beforehand.

You should take the time to get your pubic hair saved several days before your procedure. Before you walk in for your session, ensure that your pubic area is as clean as possible. Also pack some tight briefs that you can wear to keep the surgical dressing in place as you head home from the hospital. The same briefs will be really useful before the swelling and soreness subsides.

Smokers should quit the cigarette for weeks before the operation and during the healing process. Smoking can interfere with the process of healing and prolong it. In some cases, the nicotine in the system of a patient triggers unexpected bleeding. You also want to stay away from your bottle of alcohol for about two days before surgery. Alcohol not only dehydrates the body, but also hinders the effectiveness of the anesthesia.

If you have opted to be put under a general anesthesia, you will need a friend or relative who can drive you home. The effects of the administered drug can remain within your system for a few hours. After being discharged, you can take two days of rest, though this is in most cases not necessary. Even though some pain and discomfort is expected, the pain medication your surgeon will offer you will be enough to keep you comfortable for the first few days.

There are numerous benefits allied with being circumcised. The operation will keep health concerns like phimosis and balanitis at bay. You will also be at a reduced risk of contracting HIV infections. It is also worth mentioning that it will be easier to effectively clean the circumcised penis and you can forget the hassles of trying to ensure that you are not at risk of suffering from bacterial infections.
