Aspects Of Toronto Circumcision Procedure

By Christopher Fisher


Circumcision is a medical procedure which involves removal of foreskin that covers the tip of the penis. The procedure is typically carried out on infants who have just been born. Most hospitals in Toronto perform this procedure before a baby boy is one month old. Although the procedure can be a risky affair, Toronto circumcision surgeons perform it successfully without much complication.

Males undergo this procedure either for medical or cosmetic reasons. Majority of the men face the cut when they are still very young therefore do not really have a choice. If however you are an adult contemplating to undergo the procedure, it is important to understand the pros and cons of circumcision so as to make an informed decision.

The removal of foreskin has many advantages to the man. It makes the cleaning of the penis an easy affair thus making personal hygiene easier to maintain. This keeps away any urinary tract infections and reduces the occurrence of penile cancer. This also helps to protect the kidneys which may be affected if a urinary tract infection develops. Moreover, with circumcision, the possibility of acquiring sexually transmitted infections is greatly reduced.

The procedure has cons too. One of the most common effects is the loss of penis feeling. The surgery exposes the glans hence leading to loss of sensitivity of the organ. This is because much of these nerves are located in the foreskin itself which is removed during the procedure. This argument is however relative since other researchers report no significant change in sensitivity after removal of foreskin.

Even with the reports of immense benefits, some people do not however see any real benefits that come with removal of the foreskin. The procedure is therefore unnecessary. As part of the body, it is meant to protect underlying tissue and prevent it from contacting harmful substances from outside. It also protects the soft tissue from unnecessary friction.

Caring for the penis after circumcision is also of very much importance. After the procedure, a wound with sutures develops. The doctors prescribe the right antibiotics to prevent medication and promote faster healing. Within a short while, the sutures and the swelling will be gone. You will hence go back to your normal activities including sex.

The penis will still require proper maintenance after the cut. Use moisturizer to prevent dryness and irritation. These if not properly cared for could cause soreness and pain during sex. Consume a diet rich in Vitamin A, C and D to promote formation of healthy tissues. The nutrients also treat the roughness that comes as a result of sex or masturbation. The functioning of a nervous system can be enhanced with increased intake of amino acids such as L-arginine.

Even with aforementioned risks, the health benefits of circumcision are reason enough to take up the cut. Majority of men in the world today are circumcised and attach more than health benefits to it. Even with the numerous advantages though, it really do not matter whether you are cut or not as this is a personal decision.
