The Circumcision Process
There are two main methods used in circumcision: Plastibell or the Traditional Surgical Methodogical support

The Plastibel Method

The picture below is what we call Plastibel.





The Plastibell comes in six sizes to fit over the glans of various baby boys’ joysticks at birth. The most common size used is 1.2cm in diameter, followed by 1.3cm. Larger sizes of 1.5 and 1.7cm are used infrequently.

The doctor looks at your child penis and estimate the appropriate size.
The fore skin is separated, a small cut is made and then the plastic is put on the glans and and tied.
The foreskin is then cut and clean up.
No gauze and no dressing is applied.
You just wear your baby diaper after the procedure!

The Traditional/Surgical Method

It involves separation of the foreskin and cutting the extra flesh.
In some cases, doctors need to put stitches to prevent bleeding.
Thereafter, a dressing is placed on the glans.
The dressing will be removed after some days unlike the plastibel which does not require dressing and falls on its own 3-5 days after the procedure.
Post Circumcision Care

Pain relief: circumcision causes pain; and for newborns, this pain may interfere with mother-infant interaction or cause other behavioural changes. Paracetamol drops or syrup should be given twice daily for two to three days.
Surgical type circumcision should be done under local anesthesia.
For surgical circumcision, a light dressing such as gauze with petroleum jelly will have been placed over the head of the penis.
The next time the baby urinates, this dressing usually will come off. Some pediatricians recommend keeping a clean dressing on until the penis is fully healed, while others advise leaving it off.
The important thing is to keep the area as clean as possible. If particles of stool get on the penis, wipe it gently with soap and water during diaper changes.
Please DO NOT APPLY Engine OIL! It is an hydrocarbon and can give the baby dermatitis! Pure olive oil can be used!
For the plastibell method, you don’t need to do anything in terms of dressing or otherwise!
The plastibell covers the raw area,take your baby bath normally.
Just wait for the plastic to drop usually in 5 days but may take up to a week.
Normal routine care of the baby – should be continued.
Once the plastic drop, the circumcision is healed just bath the baby and the penis area normally.
It’s OK to wash the penis as it heals. Once the penis heals, wash it with soap and water during normal bathing.
If you observe any of the following after circumcision, please go to the hospital

Normal urination doesn’t resume within 12 hours of the circumcision
There’s persistent bleeding
There’s foul-smelling drainage from the tip of the penis
The plastic ring remains in place one week after the circumcision.
Problems after circumcision are not common. Common complications

The most common complications associated with circumcision are bleeding and infection.
Circumcision may also result in foreskin problems, as the foreskin might be cut too short or too long.
The foreskin might also fail to heal properly.
When this happens, the remaining foreskin might re-attach to the end of the penis, requiring minor repair.
If you observe any of the following after circumcision, please go to the hospital



Circumcision cannot be performed on males with the following conditions:

Abnormal penis including where the urethra (urinary) opening is not on the penis tip (hypospadias or epispadias)
Chordee, or the downward curvature of the penis,
Buried penis is a condition in which the penis is concealed because it is surrounded by fat in the pubic region
Sick or unstable babies
Bleeding disorders or a family history of such.
Baby with severe neonatal jaundice.
Babies with the above conditions should be seen by the Specialist – Urologist before circumcision!

Hopefully for mums and dads reading, your questions as regards circumcision has been answered. Should you still need any clarifications or questions, feel free to ask through the email: ask@askthepaediatricians.com!

One woman sonographer sha said she was seeing a girl . Though the nurse at the antenatal center said her test result wasn't professional and so she can't be trusted.

Thank you ma for checking up on me.

After hanging legs for 2weeks in the hospital (as I stated in my last post) the drainage stopped, after 2 days I saw blood but it was just a wipe. Went for scan the following day, scan said that the lead twin T1 had no heart activity but T2 was fine.
That night I started having contractions before I knew what was happening I expelled parts of T1 and the membrane of T2 broke, all the liquor drained out that night.
I was booked for evacuation the next day. That was how I lost both of them
I am back to square one after waiting for so long, I don't even know where to start from. I thought everything abt this TTC would have ended this year.

Sabi Mama's pls if there's anything I can do now to help me take in again pls let me know.

The Lord is your strength mama...God will revisit you soonest... It is well!!

Team November.... It can only be God, Me and my Mini me at 21weeks+
