Examination and discussion of the various types of circumcision. 

High Circumcision:
Amount of Foreskin Removed: More of the foreskin is removed, leaving less of the shaft of the penis covered when flaccid.
Exposure of Glans: This results in a larger portion of the glans (head) of the penis being exposed when the penis is not erect.
Reasons: High circumcisions may be preferred for medical reasons, such as phimosis (tight foreskin) or recurrent infections, where more foreskin removal may be necessary.
Low Circumcision:
Amount of Foreskin Removed: Less of the foreskin is removed, leaving more of the shaft of the penis covered when flaccid.
Exposure of Glans: This results in a smaller portion of the glans being exposed when the penis is not erect.
Reasons: Low circumcisions may be chosen for cosmetic reasons or personal preference, where individuals desire to retain more foreskin for a natural appearance.
Standard Circumcision:
Amount of Foreskin Removed: The amount of foreskin removed in a standard circumcision falls between high and low circumcisions.
Exposure of Glans: It results in a moderate exposure of the glans when the penis is not erect.
Reasons: Standard circumcisions are often performed for both medical and cultural/religious reasons. They aim to balance the removal of foreskin necessary for medical indications while preserving enough tissue for aesthetic and functional purposes.

Operating Theatre:

Surgical Procedure: The surgeon performs the chosen circumcision technique, which may involve the removal of the foreskin using a scalpel to use a Sleeve technique to remove the excess foreskin.
Hemostasis and Closure: Any bleeding is controlled, and the edges of the remaining skin are stitched together if necessary to facilitate healing.

Postoperative Care:
Dressing Application: The circumcision site is dressed with gauze or a bandage to protect it and promote healing. You must avoid disturbing the dressing for at least 48 hours.
You will need to keep the area clean and dry, avoiding strenuous activity, and taking pain medication as needed.

Apply a thin layer of antibiotic ointment or petroleum jelly to the circumcision site to keep it moisturized and prevent the dressing from sticking. Gently wash the circumcision site with mild soap and warm water daily to keep it clean

Change Dressings: Change the dressing or bandage over the circumcision with a clean one after each shower or as needed to keep the area clean and dry.
Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from engaging in strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or vigorous exercise for the first few days following circumcision. This helps prevent strain on the surgical site and promotes proper healing.

Pain Management: Take pain medication as prescribed or recommended by your healthcare provider to manage any discomfort or pain after the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may be sufficient for mild to moderate pain.

Monitor for Signs of Infection: Keep an eye on the circumcision site for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or pus-like discharge. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any signs of infection or if you have concerns about the healing process.

Abstain from Sexual Activity: Refrain from sexual activity, including masturbation and intercourse, until the circumcision site has fully healed.
