Male circumcision is the removal of the foreskin that covers the glans (head of the penis). Muslims and Jewish people do circumcisions as part of their religious requirements. Our Muslim practitioners carry out the procedure according to the Sunnah, but we routinely cater for all faiths and backgrounds. This is widely practiced in parts of Africa and is fairly common is the USA.

 

We recommend babies to get circumcised at an early age in a dedicated clinic, rather than in the home as it is more hygienic. We also recommend that you check the clinic is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as this is a legal requirement to make sure that National UK standards are met.

 

Boys of school ages often come during the school holidays which get booked up very quickly, so it is important to book your son’s circumcision in advance. We can often talk to the patient to make them relaxed and they are often very cooperative.

 

Adult men often get circumcised when they have a foreskin problem such as phimosis or paraphimosis and we are experts in dealing with these therapeutic circumcisions. We have written a blog about the treatment of phimosis and paraphimosis which you can see in our Blog page.
