What does it look like when a circumcision is infected?
Most circumcision-related infections are mild and easily treatable with antibiotics. Signs of infection include worsening redness, pus, pain, and swelling around the incision, or fever. If you notice any of these signs, call the doctor.
What happens if a circumcision is botched?
While incidents of injury resulting from the circumcision procedure are rare, surgical errors do occur and the severity can range from excessive bleeding to significant tissue loss, and even partial amputation. A botched circumcision can have life-long effects ranging from deformities to pain and erectile dysfunction.
Can circumcised go wrong?
Because newborns are relatively immunocompromised, infections in this age group can become serious problems. Although rare, meningitis, necrotizing fascitis, gangrene, and sepsis have all been reported as complications of infected circumcision sites.
What happens when too much foreskin is removed?
Removal of too much preputial skin may lead to an unsatisfactory cosmetic and functional result. Patients with a congenital anomaly known as ‘buried penis’ are particularly susceptible to this.
What should a normal circumcision look like?
At first, the incision (cut) will be red and the glans (head of the penis) will look like it has been scraped. The area may be tender, but this will lessen over the first couple of days. The penis may also have some redness and swelling and have some yellow pus on the head in particular for up to a couple of weeks.
How do you clean an infected circumcision?
Clean the penis by gently blotting or squeezing warm water from a washcloth or cotton ball onto the penis. Do not use soap, lotion, powder or diaper wipes to clean the penis because they may cause stinging or irritation. Reapply a new piece of gauze with pure petroleum jelly.
Can I sue for botched circumcision?
You could file a suit against the doctor, hospital, or practitioner who performed the procedure in addition to the manufacturer of the equipment used in the procedure. Botched circumcisions could result in long-term physical and psychological damage.
