What Are the Benefits of Circumcision?

Personal hygiene. Circumcision makes it simpler to wash the penis. However, boys with uncircumcised penises can be taught to wash regularly beneath the foreskin.

Decreased risk of urinary tract infections. The risk of urinary tract infections in males is low, but these infections are more common in uncircumcised males. Severe infections early in life can lead to kidney problems later.

Decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections. Circumcised men might have a lower risk of certain sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Still, safe sexual practices remain essential.

Prevention of penile problems. Occasionally, the foreskin on an uncircumcised penis can be difficult or impossible to retract (phimosis). This can lead to inflammation of the foreskin or head of the penis.

Decreased risk of penile cancer. Although cancer of the penis is rare, it’s less common in circumcised men. In addition, cervical cancer is less common in the female sexual partners of circumcised men.

Help & FAQ

General Questions

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions from individuals who have questions about Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision.

 

For infants the best time is soon after birth, at the age 2-4 weeks. Procedures from the under the age of 10 are done in theater, from 10 and above, in the clinic. Some clinics can only perform circumcisions in babies, however, we can perform circumcision on babies, children & older boys and adults.

Yes. You get a pack that includes all of our contact details, a leaflet on how to care for your son, and a pack of painkillers as well as 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, proactive emergency line and you can always come in for a follow-up. Follow ups are are available for 48 hours, 7 days, and 21 days.

This depends on age, with recovery times increasing the older the child gets. Typically for infants the happen within 1 - 2 weeks. For young boys this takes around 2 - 4 weeks or slightly longer. For older boys, it usually takes around 4 - 6 weeks.

Please remember that once the recovery time is complete, it usually another 1-2 weeks before the circumcision site fully heals.

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.

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 2010, 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 regular aftercare service.

Generally we prefer parents to be present during the surgery – as this gives a great deal of confidence to the child undergoing the procedure (in the case of the older child). However, if a parent or relative feels they do not want to be present – then this will be respected and they can remain in the waiting room.

Re-do circumcisions (also called remedial circumcision) are often carried out because the foreskin has not been adequately removed at the initial (primary) circumcision. Other reasons for re-do circumcision may be dissatisfaction with the scar from the first circumcision.

Rarely, a child circumcision is not cosmetically neat & parents are understandably anxious about this. Sometimes the circumcision has been carried out abroad & not to SA standards. If you are worried about this, please get in contact with us as we can help. We are a centre of excellence & other circumcision clinics will refer patients to us for correction Redo or Revision surgery.

From our experience, we would recommend 2 weeks off school. 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, we provide assessments before the procedure. For adults the consultation fee is R600 and for children it is R550.

As we are close to a busy national tall gate, 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. Passports are madantory before the procedure is peformed.

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

Yes, but a consultation will be needed at a nominal cost of R00 to discuss the decision prior to the operation

Not at all, the procedure is completely free
