Circumcision is a clinically performed procedure that may be considered for medical, cultural, personal or hygiene-related reasons. At Castle Medical, circumcision services are provided in a general practice setting with careful assessment, clear information and appropriate follow-up care.
Consultations are required prior to booking a procedure to discuss suitability, risks and expected outcomes.
Male circumcision is an operation to remove the foreskin that covers the tip of the penis.
Benefits of circumcision:
• Improved hygiene and reduced risk of infection
• Reduced risk of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) including HIV, HSV and HPV (levels of protection vary)
• Decreased risk of penile cancer
Circumcision services are available for infants (0-12 months), and adolescents and adults (aged 10 and above)
Circumcision may be recommended for medical reasons or chosen for personal considerations. Care includes pre-procedure consultation, explanation of risks and recovery expectations, and follow-up support as needed.
