Ahmedabad: Baby penis glands wither and fall after the shaman ties horse hair around it ‘to prevent bleeding’ after circumcision ritual.
The child rushed to the hospital, where the operation was made to ensure that the baby would be able to urinate normally, but the boy had lost the gam.
Dr.
Amar Shah, a city-based pediatric surgeon was surprised when parents rushed to his hospital with a baby boy and glands wrapped in newspapers.
A dukun has carried out a religious ritual of circumcision on November 22, 2021, and binds horse hair to the child’s penis.
He then bent it and told the family to go home.
The boy was born in October 2021.
Ten days later, family members noticed that the gland came along with sauce, where they rushed to the hospital Dr.
Shah.
“It is not possible for the front and most sensitive glands of the penis – can be saved or sewn back, but the meatoplasty is done on the urethra tube, which is also cut, to prevent it from closing the consequences of natural healing.
The body will interpret this as an injury,” said Dr.
Amar Shah Which added that children have now recovered and passed urine without difficulty.
Chasing the phenomenon of ‘hair tourniquet syndrome’, Dr.
Shah said, “In this case, because the hair pressure is tightly bound and swelling of the operation, the Glans gradually starts to be cut until wilted and falls.” Pediatricians said that in the majority circumcision – 70% by some estimates – the family chose to make their baby boys be circumcised by environmental shamans.
This is not only hygienic, but can cause large complications too.
Other unhealthy practices such as abu splashes on wounds after circumcision are also common.
Valuack billed between Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 to circumcise children, while it could cost between Rs 7,000 and Rs 10,000 if done by a quality pediatric surgeon in a sterile operating theater after anesthetizing the child.
The family concerned lives in the East Ahmedabad.
His father worked in a shop, while his mother was a housewife.
