Circumcision at KPJ Ampang Puteri

• Within minutes, hours, or an entire day, the cut edges of the glans close up and the bleeding stops.
• At first, i.e immediately after the procedure, the glans may appear glossy and red due to lack of exposure to the external environment provided by the mucous membrane that naturally covered it before circumcision. Once the membrane is exposed, it thickens and becomes darker.
• Your penis may swell and bruise for the first 2 days. The swelling usually goes down within 2 to 3 weeks after surgery. Keeping the penis upright aids in speedy recovery. This can be done by wearing underwear that best suits your needs.

Circumcision is a safe and preventive procedure to protect. There is compelling evidence that male circumcision reduces the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infection in men by approximately 60%. Recovery might take longer and the risk of complications might be greater when done later in life.
