Why adults have a circumcision

Circumcision is widely assumed to be something done to infants. A good share of the men who have it done are adults, for reasons that are medical as often as they are not.

  • Phimosis: a foreskin too tight to retract
  • Paraphimosis, or recurrent balanitis
  • Hygiene, which becomes easier to maintain
  • A lower risk of urinary tract infections, and of acquiring some sexually transmitted infections
  • Religious or cultural practice
  • Personal preference, which needs no further reason

You do not need a medical reason. If one of the first three applies, though, say so when you message: those are the ones that can get worse while you decide.

The stapler (ZSR) technique

A device removes the foreskin and seals the wound in one action, without stitches. Chye Clinic is an authorised provider of it.

Compared with conventional cutting and suturing it means less bleeding, a lower risk of wound infection, a neater result, and a faster recovery. Conventional technique is not obsolete, and there are cases where it remains the better choice; which one suits you is decided at the examination rather than in advance.

What happens on the day

  1. Consultation

    Medical history, your reasons for having it done, and any questions answered. Bring your current medication list.

  2. Examination

    To confirm which technique suits your case. Anatomy, scarring from previous inflammation and any bleeding disorder all bear on the choice.

  3. The procedure

    Under local anaesthetic, taking 15 to 30 minutes. You are awake, and you go home the same day.

  4. Aftercare briefing

    Written wound-care instructions rather than verbal ones, so nothing depends on what you remember afterwards.

  5. Follow-up visit

    To check healing. Worth attending even when everything appears to be going well.

Recovery

How long it actually takes

The number people want is the first one. The number that matters is the last one.

  1. Days 2-3Back to light daily activity and desk work for most men.
  2. Day 3 onwardSwelling peaks around here, then settles over one to two weeks.
  3. Weeks 4-6No strenuous exercise and no sexual activity until this is done.
  4. 6 weeksFully healed, and the earliest point worth judging the result.

Circumcision aftercare that decides how it heals

Five things, and none of them optional. Most complications after a circumcision come from the fortnight after it rather than from the procedure.

Keep it clean and dry
Shower unless told otherwise, and dry the wound gently rather than rubbing it.
Loose underwear
Something that supports without pressing. This matters more in the first week than most men expect.
Nothing strenuous for 4-6 weeks
No heavy exercise, and no sexual activity or masturbation. Resuming early risks reopening the wound.
Finish the medication
Prescribed antibiotics and pain relief, taken on schedule rather than waited for.
Attend the follow-up
Even if it all looks fine. Healing under a staple ring is not something to assess yourself.
