The Perils of Device Circumcision in Male

Complications of circumcision are rare, but they can occur. In general, the complication rate for neonatal circumcisions is less than 2%. Complications of circumcision may include bleeding, infection, and pain. Other potential risks include scarring and injury to the penis or urethra. When a circumcision is performed by a trained healthcare provider, most complications can be avoided. It’s important to follow all instructions given by your healthcare provider before and after the surgical procedure in order to minimize your risk of complications. Keep in mind that even when performed professionally, there is still a small chance of complication with any surgical procedure.
