Thank you Dr XXXXXXX for the quick response. Sir, I have a follow-up question on the procedure itself. Will I have to be admitted in a hospital/clinic for the surgical procedure? If yes, what is the duration of hospitalization? Post surgery, will I need any rest?
Brief Answer:
circumcision is a routine surgery.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Circumcision is a day case procedure, in most Urology centers.
It's usually done under local anesthesia.
That means the patient is discharged on the same day.
After surgery,you'll be advised to take rest for a few days,up to a week.
Wish you good health.
