Circumcision

Circumcision In Kolkata

Circumcision, a centuries-old practice, remains a topic of debate and intrigue. Beyond its cultural and religious significance, it addresses complications like phimosis, balanitis, and urinary tract infections, prompting diverse perspectives.

If you're considering a circumcision, reach out to us, or book a direct appointment with our urologist. At the Calcutta Medical Research Institute in Kolkata, we are dedicated to ensuring that your circumcision is as safe, comfortable, and effective as possible. We're here to guide you every step of the way towards a successful recovery.

What are the risks if circumcision is not done timely?

If circumcision is delayed, it can lead to:

  • Increased risk of UTIs, potentially leading to kidney problems.
  • Hygiene concerns: Risk of balanitis and smegma buildup.
  • Potential for phimosis: Tight foreskin causing hygiene difficulties and discomfort.
  • Risk of paraphimosis: This is an emergency with possible tissue damage.
  • Social and psychological implications in cultures where circumcision is the norm.
  • Higher risk of certain STIs: HIV, herpes, HPV.

Discussing potential risks and benefits with healthcare providers is crucial for informed decision-making. Timing should be carefully considered based on individual circumstances and medical advice.
