Some males may face Phimosis, which can broadly impact their married life. For those who don't know about Phimosis, it is a condition when you cannot retract or face difficulty in retracting the foreskin of your penis. This can lead to irritation, infection or difficulty during intercourse. The solution to this problem is surgery which is often referred to as medical circumcision. If you would like to know more about the surgery, including the cost, then go ahead and check out the details on this page.
The cost of circumcision in India is relatively low. The lowest number that we found during our market research was Rs 10,000. The average cost of circumcision is between Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000. The maximum cost may shoot up to Rs 50,000 depending on the hospital or the procedure that you undertake. Laser circumcision has become very popular, and it expedites recovery as well. The blood loss during and after laser circumcision is minimal and done under local anaesthesia. Laser circumcision is slightly more expensive than the traditional ones, but we recommend laser circumcision over anything else.
The medical community has done much research around circumcision, and there are many benefits of this as well. We have listed some of these benefits below to decide if you should go ahead with the surgery or not.
During the surgery, you will first be sterilized and shaved down there. Once that is done, the local anaesthesia will be injected into the base of the penis, and the foreskin will be removed. In some cases, the doctors may even use general anaesthesia, depending on the case. Following the surgery, you will be given oral medicines and the medicines to apply at the surgical site. The recovery period is 7 to 10 days. The tip of your penis will be sensitive & painful during the first. Some people may even notice swelling or bruises because of the trauma. However, you need to wash the penis regularly and change the bandage as per the doctor's advice. Within the recovery period, you will feel better and forget about any discomfort.
Q1. Will phimosis surgery cause impotency in adult males?
No, phimosis surgery or circumcision doesn’t cause impotency in adult males. The surgery only removes a certain portion of the foreskin to help prevent any infection or progression of the infection. This does not hamper any of the glands or organs like spermatic cords, or testicles that help in reproduction.
Q2. Can phimosis surgery prevent the occurrence of cancer in the penis?
It is generally suggested that phimosis surgery or circumcision done right after birth may be helpful for the prevention of the cancer of the penis in the later stages of life. However, if the surgery is done during adult age, there is no such difference in the occurrence or the non-occurrence of the cancer of the penis.
Q3. How long will it take to recover from the phimosis surgery?
The recovery period after a phimosis surgery is relatively short and a person can be fully recovered in just about 10 days. The pain and bleeding issue will also be relieved in just about a week after the surgery.
Q4. What should my diet look like after phimosis surgery?
It is recommended that you follow a light diet and avoid fatty or junk foods in the aftermath of the surgery till your full recovery as it may spike infection.
Q5. Can I indulge in heavy activities after phimosis surgery?
You should not get involved in heavy activities right after the phimosis surgery for the first 72 hours after the surgery. However, you can get involved in light activities like walking around to maintain blood circulation in the body.
