All common questionsIs circumcision available on the NHS?
The NHS provides circumcision for medical reasons only, usually when other treatments have not worked, and normally after a GP referral. Non-therapeutic circumcision is usually arranged privately.
What are the risks of circumcision?
All surgery carries some risk. The NHS lists bleeding, infection, pain or swelling and changes in sensitivity among possible complications. Most people do not experience serious problems.
Can I choose circumcision for religious reasons?
Yes. Many families arrange circumcision for religious, cultural or personal reasons. The clinic provides an inclusive service and will discuss your requirements before the procedure.
Do I need a GP referral for private circumcision?
Private circumcision does not usually require a GP referral, but if you have a medical concern about the foreskin it is sensible to speak to a GP first.
