Circumcision is a procedure in which the foreskin covering the tip of the penis is removed. During a circumcision, the foreskin is freed from the head of the penis and the excess foreskin is clipped off by the surgeon. The procedure is usually performed within the first week of birth and takes about 5 to 10 minutes to be done. Circumcision generally heals in a time of five to seven days. In our part of the world, circumcision is performed mostly due to religious reasons.
