Circumcision is a commonly performed surgery to remove the foreskin, a retractable fold of skin that covers the glans, or the head, of the penis. Circumcision can be performed for a multitude of reasons, but in most cases, it is performed due to religious, cultural, or medical concerns.
There are typically three approaches to performing circumcision. While all three methods are considered to be effective and minimally invasive, they vary slightly in procedure and cost:
Open circumcision, also known as the dorsal slit technique, is the most common approach of performing circumcision. In this procedure, the surgeon makes a longitudinal incision on the top (dorsal) side of the foreskin. The incision is typically made using a scalpel or surgical scissors, and it allows the foreskin to be pulled back and removed. Once the incision is made, the surgeon carefully separates the inner layer of the foreskin from the underlying tissue. This separation allows for the removal of the excess foreskin while leaving the underlying structures intact. The surgeon may then suture the edges of the incision together using dissolvable stitches, which will eventually dissolve on their own. The cost of open circumcision in Jind may lie anywhere between Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 25,000.
Laser circumcision is an advanced technique that utilizes laser technology to perform the removal of the foreskin. In a laser circumcision, the surgeon uses a highly focused beam of light to ablate the tissue around the foreskin in order to cut it with precision. Due to the high temperature of the laser, any blood vessels are immediately cauterized, resulting in minimal and controlled bleeding. The average cost of a laser circumcision procedure in Jind can range from Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 35,000.It is to be noted, however, that depending on several factors, the exact cost of your surgery is likely to vary.
Stapler circumcision, often referred to as circular stapler technique, is another surgical procedure that uses a specially designed medical device called a stapler to remove the foreskin surgically. In a stapler circumcision, the foreskin is pulled over a circular or plastic guide that helps a uniform, circular incision line. The circumcision stapler, which looks similar to a hollow tube, is placed over the guide and the excess tissue is removed by closing the stapler device. The stapler leaves behind a silicone ring on top of the penis to immediately seal the incision and prevent excessive bleeding. The silicone ring will fall off on its own once the wound has healed. The average cost of a stapler circumcision in Jind can be approximately Rs. 31,000 to Rs. 35,000.
Our urologists in Jind mostly leverage laser or stapler circumcision for penile foreskin removal to treat or prevent diseases such as phimosis, paraphimosis, balanitis etc.

While it is completely safe to have an erection after circumcision, it is best to avoid any intercourse until your urologist suggests it's safe. Before engaging in any sexual activity, it is best to consult with your urologist first.
After the procedure, it is important to keep the area dry for at least 48 hours. After the initial 48 hours, it is safe to take a shower or bath with warm water. However, be careful not to apply any scented soap or ointments in the area as it may irritate the skin around the wound.
