What Is Newborn Circumcision?

Circumcision is a medical procedure in which the foreskin, the fold of skin covering the head of the penis, is removed. Performed within the first few weeks of life, it is a straightforward procedure that typically takes just a few minutes.

At Clinique Médicale 360, we use advanced techniques to ensure that the procedure is safe and efficient. Local anesthesia is used to minimize any discomfort, and our team provides detailed post-procedure care instructions to promote a smooth recovery.

Why Choose Circumcision?

Parents may choose circumcision for religious, cultural, or personal reasons, as well as for its potential health benefits. According to the Canadian Paediatric Society, circumcision can provide:

  • A reduced incidence of urinary tract infections in young boys;
  • Prevention of medical circumcision in later childhood for conditions such as recurrent balanoposthitis, paraphimosis, and phimosis;
  • A lower risk of developing penile cancer;
  • A decreased incidence of trichomonas, bacterial vaginosis, and cervical cancer in female partners of circumcised men;
  • A reduced risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, HSV, and HPV.

By choosing circumcision for your newborn, you’re investing in both immediate and long-term health benefits.

What Are the Risks of Circumcision?

While circumcision is generally safe with a low complication rate, it is important for parents to be aware of potential risks, which may include:

  • Minor bleeding;
  • Infection;
  • Rare cases of injury to the penis.

Our experienced medical team takes every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure your child’s safety.

Post-procedure Care

After the procedure, proper care is essential to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. We recommend:

  • Keeping the area clean and dry;
  • Applying petroleum jelly as instructed to prevent friction;
  • Monitoring for signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge.

The wound typically heals within a week, and our team remains available to answer any questions during the recovery process.

Why Choose Clinique Médicale 360 for Circumcision?

Dr. Jarred Slimovitch completed his newborn circumcision training at the prestigious Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto. He brings his knowledge and care to every procedure so that parents can trust that their child is in skilled hands.

We prioritize balanced, evidence-based guidance, ensuring that parents feel informed and supported throughout the decision-making process.
