Frequently Asked Questions

The recovery time after an adult circumcision takes a few weeks. You may be able to return to office work after a week. It is generally advised to avoid strenuous activities for 2-3 weeks. Sexual activity should also be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks.

Adult circumcision is generally a safe procedure when performed by our experienced, qualified doctors. However, like any surgery, it carries some risks and potential complications. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission. Our circumcision centre has carried out over 60,000 circumcisions, so you can rest assured that you are in the best possible hands.

Most men are advised to take at least a week off work after an adult circumcision. This is because the procedure can cause discomfort, swelling, and bruising, and a week of rest allows the healing time. While some may be able to return to work sooner, a week off is recommended, especially for jobs involving manual labour or prolonged sitting.

It is highly recommended to consult with our urologist before undergoing circumcision. This allows you to discuss the indications, potential benefits, risks, and alternative options to adult circumcision. Our doctors help you make an informed decision.

As we are close to a busy International Airport, we see many people from different countries, from adults to boys with their families. Many come to us to benefit from the most advanced treatments available. Most have taken advantage of the low-cost air fares offered by budget airlines to take a short holiday as well as visiting our clinic.

For adult circumcisions, our Circumcision Centre typically uses the "Forceps Guided" method. Ideal circumcision for adults minimises trauma and recovery time with glue or stapler circumcision.

All pricing for our packages is inclusive, so you will not incur any additional charges on the day. The costs are directly related to the indication and methods. Once you fill out an enquiry form, you will receive a personalised email. You can also call us directly on 01582 561 999 to discuss your requirements.

For infants the best time is soon after birth, at the age 2-4 weeks. The advantages are that the procedure is easy to carry out using the Plastibell or Circumplast ring method and most importantly, the recovery is very quick. However we can perform circumcision at any age at our clinic. Some clinics can only perform circumcisions in babies, however, we can perform circumcision on babies, children & older boys.

Yes. You get a pack that includes all of our contact details, a leaflet on how to care for your son, a prescription for Fucidin cream and tips that will help your son heal as quickly and healthily as possible. If you have any other questions, you will have access to our experienced staff, 24-hour emergency line and you can always come in for a follow-up. Everything mentioned is included in the cost.

This depends on age, with recovery times increasing the older the child gets. Typically for infants the ring comes off, along with the excess foreskin, within a week. For young boys this takes around a week or slightly longer. For older boys, it usually takes around two weeks for the ring to come off.

Please remember that once the ring comes off there is usually another 1-2 weeks before the circumcision site fully heals.

Circumcision using the Plastibell or Circumplast method is a minor procedure and we only use equipment that is sealed, sterile and suitable for single use.

We always monitor audit our procedures to achieve the best outcomes for all children. Our specialists travel internationally in order to remain up to date with the latest innovation in circumcision so that our practice can be as safe as possible.

Registered with the Care Quality Commission the centre has carried out over 20,000 circumcisions so you can rest assured that you are in the best possible hands. Our senior doctors have performed over 4000 circumcisions individually. They follow very strict guidelines as set out by the General Medical Council, The Royal College of Surgeons, The Royal College of General Practitioners, The Medical Protection Society and The Medical Defence Union.

We operate in a safe clinical environment and we take the clinical care and post-operative care that we provide for all our patients very seriously. We carry out regular audits and have recorded very low complication rates. We do not provide a home circumcision service as we do not believe this is the correct way of carrying out this procedure. Our audits since 1991, have shown persistent low rates of complications. By carrying out all the circumcisions in a clinic-based environment we can continue to provide low complication rates.

We take great pride in our services, particularly with the welfare of our babies, children and adults and provide a 24/7 aftercare service.

Unfortunately, we do not allow anyone into the operating room, this is due to our Infection Control policy. But don’t worry, as your son will be back with you in around 15 minutes.

Benefits include reduced UTI/STI risk, better hygiene, and prevention of phimosis. Risks are minimal. The decision depends on medical, cultural, or personal factors.

From our experience, we would recommend 2 weeks off school. Mature children who can avoid impact activity in school may attend even before the ring falls off. Most schools are usually understanding; however, we can provide a note explaining the need for rest if the school requests further evidence.

Boys need to avoid any physical activity such as football, climbing, swimming, running etc. for 4-6 weeks from time of operation.

Yes, certainly. For adults the consultation fee is £100 and for children it is £50.

We use the Forceps Guided method for older boys and adults and the Plastibell® or the Circumplast® procedure for younger boys and infants.

In our clinic, circumcision is performed under local anaesthesia, which also helps in providing post-operative pain relief.

Risks are rare: minor bleeding, infection, or delayed healing (<1% at our centre). Serious complications are extremely uncommon with skilled surgeons.
