Circumcision is a surgical procedure to gently remove the foreskin (the fold of skin covering the head of the penis). In teenagers and adults, it is most commonly performed to permanently cure Phimosis (a tight, non-retractable foreskin), recurrent infections (balanitis/balanoposthitis), and painful erections. Under the care of an experienced urologist, circumcision is safe, quick, and provides lasting relief.
Phimosis occurs when the opening of the foreskin is too narrow or scarred to pull back over the glans penis. This can cause discomfort, painful intercourse, cracking or tearing of the skin, hygiene difficulties, and recurrent bacterial/fungal infections.
