Circumcision in Pune & PCMC
Table of Contents
Many men think about circumcision only when the discomfort becomes too much. Tight foreskin. Pain while pulling it back. Repeated infections. Difficulty urinating. These issues are more common than most people realise, and they can affect confidence, hygiene and sexual comfort.
The procedure today is simple, quick and far gentler than what most men imagine. We offer traditional, stapler, and laser circumcision. The right option depends on your age, skin tightness, symptoms and healing pattern.
Why do men consider circumcision?
Patients often come in with concerns like:
- The foreskin is too tight to pull back, even during bathing.
- The skin cracks or bleeds when stretched.
- Burning, redness, or swelling keep coming back.
- Urine gets trapped under the foreskin or sprays in different directions.
- The foreskin balloons during urination.
- Intercourse is painful for you or uncomfortable for your partner.
- Hygiene is difficult, leading to smell or irritation.
- You want a long-term solution instead of repeated ointments.
Most men delay treatment for months or years because of fear, embarrassment or confusion. A clear explanation helps reduce that stress.
Circumcision options at Pune & PCMC, we offer at Chrysalis
Stapler circumcision (quick and even cut)
A single-use device removes excess skin and simultaneously seals the edges.
Why people choose it:
- Very quick
- Minimal bleeding
- The cut is clean and even.
- Back to routine office work in 1 to 2 days
Mild soreness is expected for a few days.
Laser circumcision (gentle and precise)
Laser energy separates the foreskin with controlled heat.
Why people choose it:
- Almost no bleeding
- Less swelling
- Smooth healing
- Helpful for men who get infections often
Both the stapler and the laser are safe. The choice depends on your skin type, tightness and comfort level.
What happens during the procedure
- Local anaesthesia numbs the area.
- You stay awake but feel no pain.
- The procedure usually takes 10 to 20 minutes.
- You go home the same day.
Most patients are surprised by how quick and simple it feels compared to their expectations.
When do you need to get a circumcision?
You may benefit from circumcision if:
- Your foreskin is too tight to pull back comfortably.
- Pulling the skin causes pain, tearing or burning.
- You have repeated infections, redness or swelling.
- Urination becomes difficult because the skin blocks the stream.
- The foreskin balloons when you pee.
- Cleaning under the skin is hard and causes smell or irritation.
- Sexual activity feels painful because the skin does not move freely.
- You want easier hygiene or prefer the foreskin to stay retracted permanently.
Your doctor checks your skin, infection status and medical history to guide the safest option.
Recovery and aftercare
Most men resume light work in 24 to 48 hours.
Expect:
- Mild swelling for a few days
- Some sensitivity while the skin heals
- Stitches or staples falling off naturally (depending on the method)
Avoid sexual activity for 4 to 6 weeks till the area heals fully.
Warm-water cleaning and the prescribed ointment help speed recovery.
If you have diabetes or long-standing infections, healing may be slower and requires closer follow-up.
Possible Risks of Circumcision
Modern circumcision is safe, but minor risks can occur:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Swelling
- Slower healing
- Mild temporary sensitivity changes
Early review helps address issues before they become serious. Honest counselling ensures you know what to expect.
Personalised care matters
No two cases of a tight foreskin are the same. Your treatment should match your symptoms, skin thickness, infection history and comfort with the method. The goal is simple. Help you live without pain, discomfort or repeated infections.
