Infant Circumcision

How it Works

1

Book an Appointment

Get started by contacting our office to schedule your infant circumcision appointment. Once your appointment is confirmed, we’ll provide you with all the necessary information to help you prepare for the procedure day.
2

On the Day of the Procedure

At the appointment, the physician will explain the procedure in detail, obtain informed consent, perform the circumcision, and go over aftercare instructions, including possible risks and complications.

While the circumcision itself takes approximately 15–30 minutes, please plan to be in the clinic for about 1 hour.

3

Comprehensive Aftercare

After the procedure, you'll receive the direct phone number of the physician who performed the circumcision. They are available 24/7 via call or text to answer any questions or concerns during the recovery period.

Why Choose Circumcision?

Infant circumcision is often chosen for religious, cultural, or medical reasons. Potential benefits may include:

  • Reduced risk of urinary tract infections in infancy
  • Lower risk of penile infections and inflammation
  • Easier hygiene
  • Decreased risk of certain STIs (including HIV & HPV)
  • Slightly lower lifetime risk of penile cancer
The final choice of the circumcision remains with the parent / legal guardian.

Risks of Circumcision

While complications are rare, possible risks include

  • Minor bleeding or infection
  • Temporary swelling or discomfort
  • Rare cosmetic concerns or delayed healing
  • Slippage of Plastibell over the shaft of the penis

Our clinic follows rigorous safety protocols to reduce risks and ensure quick recovery.
