A circumcision is the removal of the foreskin from the penis. It is a common practice in many cultures and religious traditions, and often done when a child is very young, but can be done at any age, including adulthood.

1. Please be reassured that pain is only for one minute from injection using a smallest needle available.
2. If possible, avoid public transport on your return home, and have an adult staying with the patient for at least 24 hours.
3. Try to avoid eating anything 4 hours before the procedure.
4. Please wear or bring clean tight boxer/under wear and soft, loose trousers.
5. Please make sure the area is properly shaved, cleaned and take bath or shower day before.
6. After the procedure, if you have to travel long distance, it is recommended that you stay at such a distance for first 24 hours that you can attend clinic if there is an emergency, such as major bleeding, which is rare indeed.
7. Pain after procedure is not very common as we use tight dressing/bandage to prevent bleeding. However, please have Paracetamol and ibuprofen available at home as pain relief, and we will advise you if there is any contraindication to use those.

Surgical Cutting procedure

Procedure is performed under local anaesthetic injection using a smallest available needle (can be done under General Anaesthetic at hospital, however, cost is much higher) in aseptic condition using single use disposable instruments.

• It involves measuring and cutting the extra foreskin, stopping bleeding and stitching up the cut edges.
• The sutures used dissolve or fall off on their own, no need to remove.
• If sutures come off soon after the procedure, don’t panic, it will heal spontaneously.
• We give you topical antibiotic to apply on the wound to prevent the infection.

Complications are uncommon. However, bleeding, infection, swelling, redness and cosmetic deformity etc can happen.
