The lubricant helps to prevent the dressing from sticking to the glans. The gauze usually falls off on its own within 24 hours.</p> <p>Over the following days, your child will heal from the surgery in stages. Every child heals differently; it can take up to a month for the penis to appear fully healed.</p> <h3>Bleeding</h3> <p>Within minutes, hours or an entire day, the cut edges of the glans close up and bleeding stops.</p> <h3>​Colour changes</h3> <p>​Immediately after the circumcision, the glans may appear red and glossy or even purple. This occurs because the skin covering the glans of an uncircumcised penis is a mucous membrane. Once the membrane is exposed, it thickens and becomes darker.</p> <p>Your child's glans may have off-white or yellowish patches in the first few days after surgery. These are a type of scab and are completely normal. Two or three days after the circumcision, the skin may look green and yellow. This is a sign of normal healing, not pus.</p> <h3>Swelling</h3> <p>You may notice some swelling behind or under the head of the penis and believe it looks like a blister. The swelling is simply another sign of healing and will disappear within a week or two.</p> <h3>​Changes in size</h3> <p>​The penis may appear smaller after circumcision. This is mostly because the skin surrounding the penis is relaxed, while before circumcision it usually held the penis more erect. </p><h2>When to see a doctor after a circumcision</h2> <p>Go to the nearest emergency department (ED) <strong>right away</strong> if your child has excessive bleeding (small pools of blood or spots larger than a two-dollar coin on the diaper). To help slow down any bleeding before you go the ED, use your thumb and index finger to create a ring around the top of the penis and squeeze for five minutes.</p> <p>Also go to the nearest emergency department if your child has:</p> <ul> <li>redness of the skin spreading to abdomen and legs</li> <li><a href="/Article?contentid=30&language=English">fever</a></li> <li>poor feeding and/or <a href="/Article?contentid=746&language=English">vomiting</a></li> <li>yellow liquid draining from the incision</li> <li>difficulty with urinating (peeing) after circumcision, for example if diapers are less wet than usual.</li> </ul><h2>At SickKids</h2> <p>The Urology Clinic is at 555 University Avenue, the Atrium, Fifth Floor, Unit D. Use the Atrium elevators (near the cafeteria), exit at the 5th floor and look for the unit D. Working hours are 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday.​</p> <p>If your child is healing normally, he does not need a follow-up visit with the Urology Clinic. You can follow up with your family doctor or paediatrician within a week of the circumcision.</p> <p>If you have any concerns, however, you can call the Urology Clinic during working hours at <strong> (416) 813-6661</strong> and ask to speak to a Urology nurse. If you have concerns after working hours, see your family doctor or go to the nearest emergency department. If you need to leave a message with the clinic, you can expect a call back within 24 hours.</p>

Le lubrifiant empêche le pansement de coller au gland. La compresse se détache d’elle-même dans les 24 heures. </p><p>Dans les jours qui suivent, la guérison de votre enfant suivra plusieurs étapes. Chaque enfant se rétablit à son propre rythme. La guérison complète du pénis peut prendre jusqu’à un mois.</p><h3>Saignement</h3><p>Après quelques minutes, plusieurs heures ou un jour complet, le bord coupé de la peau se scelle et le saignement s’arrête.</p><h3>Changement de couleur</h3><p>Tout de suite après l’excision, le gland peut avoir une apparence rouge vif ou même pourprée. La peau recouvrant le gland d’un pénis non circoncis est une membrane muqueuse. Quand elle est exposée, cette membrane s’épaissit et devient plus sombre.</p><p>Dans les jours qui suivent la chirurgie, le gland peut être recouvert de taches blanchâtres ou jaunâtres. C’est tout à fait normal. Il s’agit d’un genre de croûte. Deux ou trois jours après la circoncision, la peau peut avoir une apparence vert jaunâtre. Ce n’est pas une infection; il s’agit d’un signe normal du processus de guérison.</p><h3>Enflure</h3><p>Vous pourriez remarquer une enflure derrière ou sous la tête du pénis qui ressemble à une « ampoule ». L’enflure est tout simplement un autre signe que le pénis guérit normalement et elle disparaîtra dans une semaine ou deux.</p><h3>Variation dans la taille<br></h3><p>Le pénis peut sembler plus petit après la circoncision. C’est surtout parce qu’il y a relâchement de la peau qui entoure le pénis, alors qu’avant l’intervention, cette peau maintenait le pénis plus dressé.</p><h2>À quel moment consulter un médecin après la circoncision?</h2> <p>Présentez-vous <strong>immédiatement</strong> au service d’urgence le plus proche s’il y a un saignement important (petites mares de sang ou taches de sang sur la couche plus grandes qu’une pièce de deux dollars). Afin de ralentir le saignement avant de vous rendre au service d’urgence, utilisez votre pouce et votre index pour créer un anneau autour de la partie supérieure du pénis et appliquez une pression pendant cinq minutes.</p> <p>Présentez-vous aussi au service d’urgence le plus proche si l’enfant présente l’un des symptômes suivants:</p> <ul> <li>une rougeur de la peau qui s’étend à l’abdomen et aux jambes;</li> <li>de la <a href="/Article?contentid=30&language=French">fièvre</a>;</li> <li>il a du mal à se nourrir ou il <a href="/Article?contentid=746&language=French">vomit​</a>;</li> <li>un écoulement jaunâtre de l’incision;</li> <li> de la difficulté à uriner (faire pipi) après la circoncision, p. ex. si ses couches sont moins mouillées que d’habitude.</li> </ul><h2>À SickKids</h2><p>La clinique d’urologie est située dans l’atrium du 555, avenue University, 5e étage, unité D. Utilisez les ascenseurs de l’atrium (près de la cafétéria), sortez au 5e étage et cherchez l’unité D. Les heures de travail sont de 8 h 30 à 16 h 30, du lundi au vendredi.<br></p><p>Si votre enfant guérit normalement, il n’aura pas besoin d’une visite de suivi à la clinique d’urologie. Vous pouvez faire un suivi avec votre médecin de famille ou le pédiatre dans la semaine qui suit la circoncision.</p><p>Si vous avez des préoccupations, vous pouvez appeler la clinique d’urologie pendant les heures de travail au <strong> (416) 813-6661</strong> et demander à parler au personnel infirmier. Après les heures de travail, consultez votre médecin de famille ou présentez-vous au service d’urgence le plus proche.

This is mostly because the skin surrounding the penis is relaxed, while before circumcision it usually held the penis more erect. </p><h2>How to care for your child after a circumcision</h2> <h3>Check for bleeding</h3> <p>Blood staining of the diaper is common after circumcision. During the first 24 hours, check your child's diaper at every diaper change for active bleeding. It is normal to see spots of blood no bigger than a two-dollar coin (about an inch wide), but you should see a doctor if there is more blood.</p> <h3>Ease swelling</h3> <p>Point your infant's penis up in his diaper to ease any swelling of the area behind the glans.</p> <h3>Bathe your child frequently </h3> <p>After circumcision, your infant should have a warm bath every day for one week. You can allow the lubricant gauze to come off by itself, unless you are instructed to remove it. If the gauze does not fall off on its own within 24 hours, soak it off in the bath.</p> <p>When the gauze comes off, it is normal for the penis to be discoloured with drops of blood and pieces of skin at its tip.</p> <h3>Prevent skin sticking</h3> <p>Gently push back the edges of the penile skin from the glans after the first two weeks of healing. This will prevent the skin from sticking to the glans as healing continues.</p> <h3>Apply a barrier ointment</h3> <p>Apply a topical barrier ointment (such as petroleum jelly) on the end of the penis after every bath and with each diaper change until the penis has healed completely. A topical barrier prevents the penis from sticking to the diaper.</p> <h3>Give pain relief if needed</h3> <p>Infants may be fussy and in pain for some hours after a circumcision, but this usually does not last more than a couple of days.</p> <p>Signs of pain can include crying and problems with sleep and feeding. During the first 24 hours after circumcision, you may give <a href="/Article?contentid=62&language=English">acetaminophen</a> regularly to manage your child's pain. Be aware of how much acetaminophen your child has received in the hospital.</p><h2>When to see a doctor after a circumcision</h2> <p>Go to the nearest emergency department (ED) <strong>right away</strong> if your child has excessive bleeding (small pools of blood or spots larger than a two-dollar coin on the diaper). To help slow down any bleeding before you go the ED, use your thumb and index finger to create a ring around the top of the penis and squeeze for five minutes.</p> <p>Also go to the nearest emergency department if your child has:</p> <ul> <li>redness of the skin spreading to abdomen and legs</li> <li><a href="/Article?contentid=30&language=English">fever</a></li> <li>poor feeding and/or <a href="/Article?contentid=746&language=English">vomiting</a></li> <li>yellow liquid draining from the incision</li> <li>difficulty with urinating (peeing) after circumcision, for example if diapers are less wet than usual.</li> </ul><h2>At SickKids</h2> <p>The Urology Clinic is at 555 University Avenue, the Atrium, Fifth Floor, Unit D.
