In Office Circumcision
Dressing/Bandage
Your son may have a gauze bandage or a clear plastic bandage on the penis. Do not be concerned if this bandage falls off before, during or immediately after your arrival home. It does not need to be replaced.
When the bandage falls off, apply antibiotic ointment (Bacitracin, Neosporin) all around the penis at least four times per day or with each diaper change.
If the bandage has not fallen off by the fourth day, you should remove it. You should then apply antibiotic ointment (Bacitracin, Neosporin) to the penis four times per day or with each diaper change.
Diapers
Change your son’s diapers frequently to prevent prolonged contact of a soiled diaper on the penis.
Bleeding
If there is any bleeding do not panic. Apply pressure for three minutes by pinching the penis with a gauze placed between your thumb and forefinger. This should stop the bleeding. If the bleeding continues, notify the doctor.
Bathing
Sponge bathe your child for four post-operative days. You may begin to bath him on the fourth post-operative day WITHOUT soap for no more than five minutes at a time. Regular soap baths may be resumed on the seventh post-operative day.
Post Circumcision office visit
Please schedule a post circumcision office visit for seven to ten days following the date of the circumcision(unless otherwise directed by your doctor)
In case of emergency
Call the regular office number to reach the answering service.
