In India traditional circumcision (by barbers, traditional practitioners, or unlicensed individuals) is still practiced in some communities. This guide explains why medical circumcision is always safer.
Traditional Circumcision — The Risks
Unsterilised instruments: Risk of HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and other blood-borne infections. Uncontrolled bleeding: Without proper surgical training and equipment bleeding can be life-threatening especially in infants. Tetanus: From unsterilised instruments — a serious and potentially fatal infection. Incomplete foreskin removal: Leaving too much foreskin means phimosis or hygiene issues persist. Excessive foreskin removal: Removing too much skin can cause pain, scarring, and penile deformity. Infection: Post-operative infections without proper antibiotic cover can lead to serious complications.

Medical Circumcision — Why It Is Safer
Medical circumcision performed by a qualified urologist at a registered hospital has a complication rate below 2%. Sterilised instruments, proper anaesthesia, surgical precision, antibiotic prophylaxis, and post-operative care make all the difference.
Cost is not a reason to choose traditional circumcision. Medical circumcision costs Rs 10,000 to Rs 45,000 but is available at government hospitals at very low or no cost for those who cannot afford private hospitals.
