&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;While male circumcision is seen as a rite of passage for many religions and cultures across the world, its health and hygiene benefits cannot be denied.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Male circumcision is a surgical operation done to remove the foreskin or the piece of skin that covers the penis. It is usually done when the boy is younger as the procedure becomes more difficult to do in older children and men, but age varies depending on the person&amp;rsquo;s tradition and culture.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Circumcision Process&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The operation starts with the medical staff giving medicines or numbing creams that could help with pain relief. Medical staff will then proceed to clean the penis, then put a clamp or ring on the penis. And then the doctor will remove the excess skin or foreskin. Immediately after separating the foreskin from the head of the penis, medical professionals will apply ointment and wrap the penis in gauze, or stitch the penis if you are already an adult.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Post - Circumcision&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Getting circumcised can be painful just like any other surgeries. However, there are pain medications and anesthetics that can help relieve pain and discomfort.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;For babies, you should wash the penis thoroughly with soap and water until it heals and gently applies topical cream to the area every time you change a diaper and gauze bandage.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The circumcision generally takes 5 to 7 days to heal. Older boys or adults should be more gentle with their movements and activities for 2 to 3 days. Afterward, it is usually okay for them to go back to work or school.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Remember to drink lots of water, especially in the first 24 hours after your surgery. They should also wear loose clothing and apply a cold compress to the area for 10-20 minutes at a time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
