Your consultation

Your consultant will talk through your reasons, examine you and explain whether circumcision or another option, such as frenuloplasty, is the right choice, and which type of anaesthetic suits you.

A different procedure

Frenuloplasty

Frenuloplasty is a separate, smaller procedure that releases a tight frenulum (the band of skin under the head of the penis) without removing the foreskin. If a tight frenulum is your only problem, it may be all you need. Your consultant will advise which procedure suits you.

Frenuloplasty alone£695

Histology (£275) is only charged if your consultant advises sending tissue for testing. Frenuloplasty (£695) is a separate procedure from circumcision.

Suitability

Is adult circumcision right for you?

A good fit

Circumcision may be right for you if…

  • Your foreskin is tight or difficult to pull back
  • You get repeated infections or inflammation of the foreskin or head of the penis
  • Your foreskin tears or splits, for example during sex
  • You'd like to be circumcised for personal, cultural or religious reasons

Worth a conversation first

It may not be the right option if…

  • Your only problem is a tight frenulum. A frenuloplasty may be enough
  • You haven't yet tried treatments your GP may suggest for some foreskin conditions
  • You're undecided. Circumcision is permanent, so take time to talk it through first

FAQs

Adult circumcision questions

How much does adult circumcision cost?

£1,095 under local anaesthetic, or £1,895 under general anaesthetic. Both include your consultation, the procedure, dressings, aftercare instructions, six weeks of telephone support and a two-week review. Histology, if required, is £275.

Should I choose local or general anaesthetic?

Many men are comfortable with local anaesthetic, where the area is numbed and you're awake. If you'd prefer to be asleep, general anaesthetic is available. Your consultant will talk it through with you.

Does it hurt?

The anaesthetic means you shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. Most men have some soreness and swelling for a few days afterwards, which is usually managed with simple painkillers.

How long is the recovery?

Most men need a few days off work. Sexual activity is usually avoided for around four to six weeks while you heal. You'll have phone support for six weeks and a review at two weeks.

What's the difference between circumcision and frenuloplasty?

Circumcision removes the foreskin. Frenuloplasty (£695) is a smaller procedure that releases a tight frenulum and leaves the foreskin in place. Your consultant will advise which suits you.

When is histology needed?

Sometimes your consultant will advise sending the removed tissue to a laboratory for testing. If so, histology costs £275.
