Nose Endoscopy
A Nose Endoscopy is an exam of the inside of the nose and sinuses using a small tube with a camera.
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the skin that covers the tip of the penis (foreskin).
- A ring-shaped plastic device may be used to protect the penis and minimize bleeding.
- After the procedure, a sterile dressing with petroleum jelly may be applied.
- To prevent movement during the procedure, the infant may be secured in a plastic tray.
- Having a circumcision done later in life is possible, but there is a greater chance of complications.
A circumcision takes about five to ten minutes. For a few hours after it is done the infant should be checked frequently for bleeding. The penis should then be monitored for the next few days.
- The tip of the penis will be red, tender and slightly swollen for a few days.
- If the plastic ring is left in place, follow instructions from your son's healthcare provider.
- Petroleum jelly or an antibiotic ointment may be put on a gauze pad and loosely wrapped around the penis. This can help stop the head of the penis from sticking to the diaper.
- You will be able to see any significant bleeding without taking off the dressing.
- Complete healing may take about seven to ten days.
Follow your healthcare provider's instructions on caring for the penis as it heals.
- Sponge baths are usually okay.
- Tub baths should be avoided until the penis and umbilical cord have healed.
- Avoid creams, lotions, powders or soaps until the area has completely healed.
Notify your son's healthcare provider right away if:
- Your son does not urinate normally within six to eight hours after the circumcision
- There is persistent or recurrent bleeding
- Your son appears to be in pain or ill while his penis is healing
- There are signs of infection. This includes increased redness or swelling, fever or foul-smelling discharge
What should I ask my healthcare provider before having my son circumcised?
- What are the benefits and risk associated with circumcision?
- How will you perform the procedure?
- How do I care for his circumcision?
- What symptoms should I be concerned about?
