Common Conditions and Preventive Benefits
Circumcision can help prevent certain conditions and provide preventive benefits. It may reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), penile inflammation, and foreskin-related issues, such as phimosis (tight foreskin) and balanitis (foreskin inflammation). Additionally, circumcision has been associated with a lower risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV and HPV, although safe sexual practices and the use of barrier methods remain crucial for STI prevention.
Benefits and Potential Outcomes
Circumcision offers potential benefits that include improved genital hygiene, easier maintenance, and potentially lower risk of certain infections and conditions. It may also have cultural or religious significance for some individuals and communities. However, it’s important to note that the decision to undergo circumcision is personal, and potential outcomes and benefits should be discussed with a healthcare professional, taking into account individual circumstances and preferences.

(Before, During and After)
Before:
Before circumcision, a consultation with Dr. Adeeb AlShahrour at the Women’s Health Center of Chicago is recommended. During this consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss the procedure, potential benefits, and any concerns you may have. It’s important to provide your medical history and engage in open communication to ensure a personalized approach.
During:
Circumcision is typically performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. The foreskin is carefully removed, and the surgical area is cleansed and dressed. The procedure usually takes around 15-30 minutes. Dr. AlShahrour and the healthcare team will prioritize your comfort and safety throughout the process.
After:
After circumcision, you may experience some mild discomfort or swelling in the surgical area, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and proper wound care. It is important to follow post-operative instructions provided by Dr. AlShahrour, which may include keeping the area clean, avoiding strenuous activities, and using any prescribed medications as directed. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor healing progress.
