Frequently asked questions

How long does phimosis treatment last?
The duration varies depending on the type of treatment. If conservative management with creams is chosen, we might be looking at a few weeks or a few months. If surgical intervention (circumcision) is indicated, initial recovery usually takes a few days, although complete healing takes longer. I will always provide a more precise estimate during the consultation.
What are the costs associated with circumcision, and are there financing options?
The costs of circumcision can vary depending on whether it is performed in my office or at a hospital, and on the complexity of the case. I will provide you with a detailed quote after the evaluation. Regarding financing, I will guide you on payment options and whether your private health insurance might cover part of the expenses.
What are the possible side effects or risks of pediatric circumcision?
Like any procedure, circumcision can have some effects. The most common are mild swelling, redness, or a little bleeding in the area, which are usually temporary. We will discuss in detail how to manage them and other less common risks, so you have all the necessary information to make an informed decision.
What should I expect during my child's first phimosis consultation?
During the first consultation, my priority is for your child to feel comfortable. I will conduct a careful evaluation and we will discuss his medical history. I will clearly explain the situation, answer all your questions, and we will discuss the best management options, whether it be observation, medical treatment, or the possibility of circumcision.
Are there alternatives to circumcision for treating phimosis?
Yes, in many cases, especially when phimosis is not severe, we can start with conservative management. This often involves the specific application of corticosteroid creams, accompanied by gentle stretches. Together, we will evaluate if this option is the most suitable for your child before considering surgery.
Are there any contraindications for performing circumcision in children?
Yes, there are some situations where circumcision might not be advisable or should be postponed. For example, if there is an anomaly in the development of the penis such as hypospadias, or if the child has an active infection in the area. I will perform a complete evaluation to ensure it is a safe and appropriate procedure for your child.
