During circumcision, local anesthesia is commonly used to numb the area before the procedure. This involves injecting a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine or prilocain, into the penis. The injection may cause some discomfort, but once the anesthesia takes effect, the patient should feel little to no pain during the procedure. Other forms of anesthesia, like regional blocks or general anesthesia, may also be used in certain situations.
