And for those who may be unaware, it is a CRIME to circumcise a woman or girl child in Nigeria. According to Section 6 of the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act 2015, you can go to jail if you are reported and found guilty at a competent law court. Ignorance is no excuse.pic.twitter.com/gAqqPYYdwO

Anyway, back to the main tweet, if you have a baby boy, it’s advisable and I personally recommend that the child be circumcised for all the above medical benefits I listed in the previous tweets. If you have not being circumcised, you may want to consider it sometimes later.

If you have a boy child or you are a man who is not circumcised and gets repeated infections of the foreskin, or the foreskin is too tight to retract or fails to return after retracting or the foreskin is getting torn and causing a lot pain and discomfort, pls get circumcised.

It’s a simple procedure carried out on a “day patient” basis. This means you'll be admitted to hospital on the same day you have surgery and you will go home same day, all things being equal. It usually takes less than an hour and it’s over. It’s not a major surgery at all.

Male Circumcision is relatively simple. The foreskin is cut just behind the head of the penis using a scalpel or surgical scissors. Any bleeding (usually light) is stopped using heat (cauterisation) and remaining edges of skin are stitched together using dissolvable stitches.

Concerning pain during the procedure: Usually you will either have a general anaesthetic, which means you'll be unconscious throughout the procedure, or you will be given a anaesthetic injection, which will numb your penis and the surrounding area so you feel no pain at all.

It usually takes at least 10 days for the penis to heal after circumcision. You'll probably be advised to take at least 1 week off work to help you recover. Wearing loose-fitting clothing for 2 or 3 days after the operation helps to avoid irritation to your penis while it heals.

You will be given some painkillers for at least one week after. It’s advisable to avoid sex for four weeks after, just to allow things heal. You should not feel any pain during urination. But if that happens, or you have high temperatures, or feel very unwell, call the hospital.

Overall male circumcision is quite beneficial and helpful. It remains a good option for those who consider it. And lastly, female circumcision is completely useless medically, and is recognised as a crime and child abuse. Please let’s be guided. Thank you.
