Circumcision Procedures in Edmonton

Our goal is to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your child. Circumcision is a brief outpatient procedure, typically lasting less than 15 minutes. It is performed by a trained medical provider using sterile techniques in a safe, clinical environment.

Here’s what the process looks like:

• Pre-Procedure Consultation: We begin with a discussion of medical history, the circumcision process, and what to expect before, during, and after
  
• Topical or Local Anesthesia: A numbing cream or local anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort
  
• Quick and Gentle Technique: The circumcision is completed quickly using a proven and minimally invasive method
  
• Calm Environment: We encourage feeding and soothing immediately after to help your baby remain comfortable
  
• Aftercare Guidance: Detailed care instructions are provided, and we remain available for follow-up questions or concerns
  

Most babies experience minimal discomfort and recover quickly when proper aftercare is followed.

Circumcision is a personal decision, and while it is not medically required, some families choose it for potential health, hygiene, or cultural reasons. When performed in infancy, the procedure is typically faster and recovery is easier.

Some potential benefits include:

• Simplified Hygiene: Can make cleaning the genital area easier for parents and children as they grow
  
• Reduced Risk of Infections: May lower the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the first year of life
  
• Lower Risk of Certain Conditions: Some evidence suggests reduced risk of penile inflammation, phimosis, and certain sexually transmitted infections later in life
  
• Quicker Healing in Infants: Younger babies tend to heal faster, with fewer complications compared to older children or adults
  
• Cultural or Religious Alignment: Supports certain family or faith-based traditions
  

Ultimately, the choice is yours and we’re here to provide clear information and skilled care.

We perform circumcisions for babies between 1 week and 6 months of age. After 6 months, healing may take longer, and the procedure may require additional medical considerations. We recommend booking as early as possible to ensure availability within the appropriate age window.
