About Circumcision

Male circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the head of the penis, and may be performed for several reasons, including:

  • Religious or cultural practices
  • Personal hygiene
  • Reduced risk of certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
  • Medical conditions such as phimosis (tight foreskin), balanitis (inflammation of the foreskin), or recurrent urinary tract infections

If you are considering circumcision for yourself or for your child, it is important to understand the procedure, its benefits, and what to expect during recovery. Contact us today and our experienced team can answer any of your questions or concerns.

Circumcision Procedure

Before proceeding with circumcision, your urologist will conduct a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history and physical examination. This ensures that circumcision is an appropriate option and helps identify any potential risks or complications.

Circumcision is typically performed as an outpatient or day stay procedure under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s age or medical condition.

After the procedure, a bandage is applied to the area to protect it during healing. You will be given detailed instructions on how to care for the site, manage pain, and recognise signs of infection or complications.

Recovery time varies depending on the patient’s age and individual healing process. Infants generally take about 5 – 7 days, and older children and adults may take about 1 – 2 weeks. 

We will provide specific post-operative care instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing and address any concerns.

Phimosis and BXO Explained

Phimosis is when the foreskin is too tight, or the tip of the foreskin narrows and is unable to be pulled back to expose the head of the penis. Phimosis is often seen in children or young adults (primary or congenital phimosis). The condition is at its highest incidence rate before puberty. Phimosis can also happen because of injury or damage that causes the foreskin to tear (secondary or acquired phimosis).
