Is circumcision painful?

Circumcision, also known as penile circumcision surgery, is usually performed under local anesthesia, so the patient will not feel pain during the procedure. The doctor will inject anesthetic medication into the foreskin area to ensure the surgical site is numb.

After surgery, there may be some discomfort or mild pain, which can typically be relieved by taking painkillers. During the postoperative recovery period, following the doctor's care instructions, such as regularly cleaning the wound and avoiding strenuous activities, can help reduce discomfort and promote wound healing.

If there is persistent severe pain or other complications, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
