Baby Circumcision Montreal, Longueuil & Châteauguay
A baby circumcision, which requires parental consent, is typically performed early in the life of a toddler. When the procedure is performed within the first four weeks of birth, it is considered a baby circumcision. We use the Plastibell technique for such circumcisions as it is the safest method. For a flawless procedure, rely on renowned baby circumcision clinics like ours. Our doctors are readily available to answer your questions or discuss your concerns.

Why Circumcise Your Baby?
There are many reasons why parents choose to circumcise their baby, with most decisions rooted in cultural or religious beliefs. Others opt for the procedure for personal or cosmetic reasons. Regardless of your reasons for circumcising your child, it’s crucial that the procedure is performed by qualified medical professionals. As the leading baby circumcision clinic in Montreal, we are committed to providing expert care and ensuring the best possible outcome for your baby.
Preparation before baby circumcision
No preparation is required for babies up to one month old. If your baby is older than one month, you may give him Tempra, Tylenol, or acetaminophen based on his weight one hour before the circumcision. You can also feed him with a bottle or breastfeed before the procedure. After the surgery, the baby will be given Tempra, Tylenol, or Advil according to his weight.

Post-Circumcision
For babies up to one month old, pain relief is often minimal, as bottle feeding, breastfeeding, and parental cuddles are usually enough to comfort your child. You can clean the area as usual with soap and water. The medical ring typically falls off within 4-6 days for infants, but in older children, where the skin is thicker, this process may take up to 14 days.
After the circumcision, your child can go home immediately, and you may give them their first bath the following day. Full healing usually occurs about one month after the procedure. While special clothing is not necessary, applying cream for the first two weeks is recommended to prevent the foreskin from sticking to the diaper.
In Case of Urinary Problems
Although urinary complications are uncommon, difficulty in initiating urination can occur if the ring is too tight. Other factors that may cause post-circumcision urinary issues include swelling, tight dressings, or the effects of analgesia.
Ensuring proper hydration is crucial. If your child is still unable to urinate, it is important to take him to a children's hospital, such as Ste-Justine or the Montreal Children's Hospital (MCH), for further evaluation.
Questions or Concerns
Swelling, discoloration, and blisters on the penis are normal reactions following circumcision. These symptoms will gradually subside after the ring has fallen off.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact our office or reach out to our assistant Gilles at (514) 441-3234. He will be able to assist you, or you can speak directly with one of our doctors.
If you are fully satisfied with the results one month after the circumcision, there is no need to return to the clinic. However, if you have any concerns, you are welcome to schedule a follow-up appointment with the doctor. In case of an emergency, please go directly to a children's hospital.
Medical Emergencies
If you notice significant bleeding, apply pressure to the bleeding site with your finger for 20 minutes. If the bleeding does not stop, go to the nearest children's hospital immediately.
If your baby is unable to urinate after eight hours, despite good hydration, this may require urgent attention, and you should head directly to the hospital.
