What is it?

Adult circumcision is a surgical procedure to remove the foreskin (the skin covering the head of the penis). It may be performed for medical reasons such as tight foreskin (phimosis), recurrent infections, inflammation, or personal preference.

The procedure is performed in the hospital under general anaesthetic. The foreskin is carefully removed, and dissolvable stitches are placed to allow proper healing.

Preparation

• Your Urologist may discuss stopping your blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications prior to the procedure - please discuss this with your doctor

• You will require someone to drive you home after the procedure
