Common Myths About Circumcision
Circumcision is a widely performed procedure, but misconceptions about it can create confusion. Here are some common myths, clarified with accurate information:
---
Myth 1: Circumcision is Painful
Truth: Modern circumcision techniques use effective anesthesia (local or general), ensuring the procedure is virtually painless. Post-procedure discomfort is manageable with prescribed pain relief and usually resolves within a few days.
---
Myth 2: Circumcision Reduces Sexual Pleasure
Truth: Research shows that circumcision does not negatively affect sexual sensitivity or performance. Many men report no change, while some find improved comfort and hygiene during intimacy.
---
Myth 3: Circumcision is Only for Religious or Cultural Reasons
Truth: While circumcision is a cultural or religious tradition for many, it is also performed for medical, hygienic, and cosmetic reasons. Parents and individuals may choose circumcision for its health benefits, regardless of cultural or religious background.

Myth 4: Circumcision is Risky
Truth: Circumcision is a routine, low-risk procedure when performed by experienced medical professionals. Complications are rare and typically minor, especially when performed in a controlled, sterile environment like our clinic.

Myth 5: Circumcision is No Longer Recommended
Truth: Leading medical organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, recognize the health benefits of circumcision, including reduced risks of certain infections and diseases. While routine circumcision is not universally recommended, its benefits are well-documented.
