    Circumcision

    Safe, routine surgical procedure to treat foreskin-related conditions and improve comfort and hygiene

    Circumcision is a common minor surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin from the penis. It is performed for medical, hygienic, and sometimes cultural reasons, and is considered a safe and effective treatment when carried out by an experienced clinician. 

    Many patients choose circumcision to relieve discomfort, improve hygiene, or treat ongoing foreskin problems such as tightness or recurrent infection.

    Why Consider Circumcision

    Circumcision may be recommended if you experience: 

    • Tight foreskin (phimosis) 
    • Pain or discomfort when retracting the foreskin 
    • Recurrent infections or inflammation (balanitis) 
    • Foreskin becoming stuck behind the glans (paraphimosis) 
    • Tearing, pain, or discomfort during sex 
    • Difficulty maintaining hygiene under the foreskin

    It is often chosen when conservative treatments have not been effective.
