Identifying and Addressing Infection After Circumcision

After a circumcision, it’s essential to know the signs of a potential infection and how to handle it. While infections are rare with the Circumcision Doctor, Dr. Ashraf Saddik’s protocol, being vigilant can ensure prompt care.

Recognizing Signs of Infection

  1. Visual Symptoms

Look for redness or noticeable swelling extending from the penis shaft towards the abdomen. These symptoms can be indicators of infection.

 It differs from mild redness or mild swelling around the surgery cut, which may be natural with the postoperative healing process and usually settles down within a few days.

  1. Pain Sensitivity

Notice if your baby seems uncomfortable or in unusual or excessive intolerable pain when the area is touched. This heightened sensitivity can be another sign to monitor.

  1. Fever

A raised body temperature might suggest an infection is present.

Pay attention to any unusual behaviour, such as increased fussiness or lethargy, which might accompany physical symptoms.
