How Painful Is Circumcision For Male Adults (Aesthetic Clinic Edition)

HI, ARE YOU CONSIDERING CIRCUMCISION CIRCUMCISION AT ADULTHOOD? 

You must have your reasons for considering adult circumcision, right? But have you decided which types of circumcision suit your needs? There are various options, but the most popular are:

• Open Circumcision
• Laser Circumcision
• ZSR Stapler Circumcision

ARE YOU THE TYPE WHO IS AFRAID OF PAIN, LIKE ME?

How painful is circumcision in adulthood? Many men worry about this, reading accounts of post circumcision swelling, discomfort, and complications like foreskin infection. Here’s what one person shared about their experience:

“I developed post-traumatic stress disorder due to the severe pain I experienced when my wound got infected, with pain lasting several weeks.”

Another shared, “I couldn’t have sex or masturbate because I was ‘scared of my own dick.”

After my own adult male circumcision, I learned that pain and circumcision recovery time vary greatly depending on the technique used. 

Read on further – here’s what I had found out from my research on circumcision pain for an adult – and the best option available for FAST, PAINLESS, BLOODLESS AND CLEAN-CUT outcome. 

THE CONVENTIONAL / TRADITIONAL METHOD

In this method, the foreskin of the penis is removed using a scalpel. Stitches close the wound, but post circumcision swelling and foreskin infection risks are higher. Here’s what you can expect

Open Circumcision

• A procedure that involves removing the foreskin with a scalpel or surgical scissors 
• Edges of the wound would be stitched
• Performed under local anaesthetic injection or general anaesthesia 
• Intra-operative bleeding
• High risk of infections 
• Swelling and soreness of the penis

What to expect:

• Procedure time: 30-60 minutes 
• Recovery period: 3-4 weeks for the wound to heal, expect swelling and soreness for several days
• Price: Widely available, cheapest compared to other newer techniques

PAIN RATING DURING PROCEDURE: 7/10 (patient may still feel some pressure or tugging sensations)

PAIN RATING AFTER PROCEDURE: 8/10 

THE MOST ADVANCED METHOD

Laser Circumcision

Laser circumcision uses a high-intensity laser to remove the foreskin. Healing is typically faster and involves less post circumcision swelling and scarring. Here’s what you can expect:

• The latest technique that uses high-intensity laser beam to remove the foreskin 
• Surgeon may use sutures to close the wound or leave it to heal on its own
• Performed under local anaesthesia
• Minimal bleeding or scarring

What to expect:

• Procedure time: 20-30 minutes
• Recovery period: Less than a week
• Price: Can be more expensive than open circumcision

PAIN RATING DURING PROCEDURE: 2/10 (pain and discomfort felt is less than open circumcision)

PAIN RATING AFTER PROCEDURE: 4/10 

STILL UNSURE IF THE PAIN RATING IS TOLERABLE FOR YOU?

What about a method that is safest, less invasive, fast, no bleeding, no stitching and most importantly, causes NO PAIN? 

THE INNOVATIVE & FASTEST METHOD

ZSR Stapler Circumcision

This stapler circumcision method uses a device to cut and seal the foreskin of the penis in one step, making it faster and less painful than traditional methods. This option is also bloodless, reducing complications like foreskin infection and pain:

• Latest advanced technology to remove the layer of the foreskin by using a surgical stapler-like device to cut and seal the skin edges
• Faster, precise and clean-cut
• Bloodless
• Less complications such as infections and bleeding
• Faster healing

What to expect:

• Procedure time: Less than 10 minutes
• Recovery period: 3-5 days
  Price: Most expensive as not widely available

PAIN RATING DURING PROCEDURE: 2/10

PAIN RATING AFTER PROCEDURE: 2/10

MIRROR, MIRROR, WHICH IS THE BEST TECHNIQUE OF ALL?

Is it the Conventional, Laser or ZSR? Actually, they’re all good and safe techniques. Though adult circumcision costs vary, it depends on WHAT YOU WANT. If money is a concern, then the conventional technique is as good as any other, though it’s the MOST PAINFUL lah.

However, if PAIN IS YOUR MAIN CONCERN, the wisest choice is to go for the ZSR Stapler Circumcision treatment that is the least invasive. It offers a shorter circumcision recovery time and less pain than the traditional method, with a faster healing process and you may experience less pain, swelling and bleeding compared to other methods.

Nevertheless, while it is a painless procedure, you can expect to experience some mild discomfort and bruising for the first few days following the procedure. These symptoms should gradually improve over time, and you are able to return to your normal activities within 1-2 weeks after your procedure. 

POST-CARE AND HEALING TIPS

After the procedure, follow these tips to ensure a smooth recovery:

• Keep the area clean and dry to avoid foreskin infection.
• Use petroleum jelly to reduce friction.
• Wear loose-fitting clothing for comfort.
• Take prescribed pain medications if needed.
• Avoid sexual activity for 1-2 weeks to support proper healing of the skin.
