If circumcision complications are left untreated, it can lead to more serious health problems. Here are some possible results:
Persistent Infection: Untreated infections at the circumcision site can spread to surrounding tissues and lead to systemic infections, which can be life-threatening if not managed.
Chronic Pain and Discomfort: If left untreated, complications such as infection, adhesions, or improper healing can cause persistent pain or irritation that can lead to ongoing discomfort and affect daily activities.
Scarring and Deformity: Without proper care, the circumcision site may heal improperly, leading to excessive scarring or disfigurement of the penis. This affects both appearance and functionality.
Urinary Problems: If circumcision left untreated, complications such as mitral stenosis (narrowing of the urethral opening) can cause urination difficulties, including pain, a weak stream, or urinary retention.
Loss of Sensation or Function: Severe complications, such as necrosis (tissue death), can occur if issues like infection or poor blood supply are not treated. This can lead to loss of sensation or, in extreme cases, loss of penile function.
Emotional and Psychological Impact: Continuing complications and dissatisfaction with circumcision results can lead to significant psychological stress or emotional distress, especially if a person is unable to find a solution.
If any signs of complications appear after circumcision, it is important to seek medical help immediately to prevent these possible consequences.
