Pediatric Circumcision in Ahmedabad — Safe, Expert Circumcision for Boys by Dr. Prarthan Joshi
Circumcision — surgical removal of the foreskin — is one of the most commonly performed paediatric urological procedures worldwide. At Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad, Dr. Prarthan Joshi — M.S., M.Ch. (Urology) — performs circumcision for boys across all age groups for medical, religious, and cultural reasons, with expert surgical technique and a gentle, family-centred approach.
Medical Reasons for Paediatric Circumcision
- Phimosis — a tight foreskin that cannot retract normally
- Recurrent balanitis — repeated foreskin and glans inflammation
- Recurrent UTIs in boys with anatomical foreskin predisposition
- Paraphimosis — a retracted foreskin that cannot return to normal position
- BXO — chronic skin condition causing foreskin scarring
The Procedure
Child circumcision surgery at Zydus Hospitals is performed as a daycare procedure under general anaesthesia — the child feels absolutely nothing during the operation. The procedure takes 20 to 30 minutes. Children go home the same day and return to normal activity within 5 to 7 days. Post-operative pain is well-controlled with children’s analgesia and a local anaesthetic nerve block.
Religious and Cultural Circumcision
Families seeking circumcision for religious or cultural reasons can be assured the procedure is performed with full respect for their reasons and the same standard of expert surgical care as any medical indication.
