Recommendations after a newborn circumcision

If the ring does not fall after 10 days, it is important to come back for an assessment in order to avoid a ring imprisonment. In such cases, it is sometimes necessary to cut the cord and simply remove the ring manually. If that is the case, it might sometimes be necessary to make another local anesthetic. The residual swelling will recover in the following weeks.

After the ring has fallen off, continue applying Polysporin® and pulling on the skin of the penis (toward the pubic bone) to fully release the head. It can be done during the first month following the surgery, at diaper changes.

An appointment is scheduled for two (2) months after the procedure.
