circumcision care?

Question

I know circumcision is a big controversy right now but I left it up to my husband and he said our son will definitely be circumcised and I'm ok with that. What I'm worried about is caring for it afterwards. Is it really as horrible as I'm imagining it to be? Anyone have any tips?

Answer

Gauze and Vasline that's all that's it

Answer

The way the pediatrician did it is they used the pollock technique  (I actually went to Dr. Pollock the creator of the technique) and it took him a couple of seconds to do it. The nurse then covered a square of gauze in Vaseline and put it over the head of his penis. For 24 hours you leave the gauze in place and it will fall off on its own. We were told in the weeks after you apply a generous amount of Vaseline to the head of the penis before putting on his diaper and make sure to push the foreskin down when we change him to avoid the skin creeping up.

My son was amazing during and after and barely cried. It took about a week for it to heal completely and we have had no issues at all

Answer

My experience was awful! My OB did the procedure and took to much. My son has had to have one surgery so far and we are look at a second one. I was advised that if I were to have another boy to have a urologist do it, from the start. I'm in no way trying to scare you just sharing my experience. I will not allow my ob or any other ob do that ever again.

Answer

I'm also doing it but I'm scared of the care after and scared of trusting a good practitioner/dr/rabbi ...can you all please tell me who did it? Dr? Pediatrician? Rabbi? Which dr at the hospital? How many days after birth? 🙏🏼🌟

Answer

Our pediatrician did the clamp procedure (instead of the bell method), with local anesthesia. Poor guy cried like hell during the procedure but didn't make a peep afterwards. The gauze didn't fall off so we removed it at 24 hours and there was some bleeding, but afterward healed nicely. By day 3 the skin was red and a little scabby but he didn't seem to notice at all. We used a glob of desitin with every diaper change. After 1 week it was completely healed. We did not have to pull back anything, just left it alone the whole time.

Answer

It's every simple to take care of so don't over worry about it.

Answer

We had no problems with our sons. We left it alone, only put a small amount of Vaseline on it because it was getting stuck to his diaper and causing bleeding at diaper changes. It fell off after about 2 weeks. 
It is a hot topic, I also left the decision up to my husband.

Answer

No its not horrible at all . the doctors will give you cream to put on his pee pee to help it heal because if you don't use the cream then the diaper will stick to his pee pee and hurt him so make sure you put the cream on after every diaper change and it only takes 5 days to heal . I got that done with my son

Answer

Our sons healed perfectly, just got to not wipe it directly and every changing put Vaseline on it.
