Our medical principles
Every appointment begins with an assessment of age, general health, bleeding risk, vitamin K status, medication, and anatomy. The choice of circumcision method is based on the child’s age, anatomy, and medical assessment. Pain relief, aftercare, follow-up, and a clear contact plan are integral parts of the care pathway.
When is circumcision in the practice not medically appropriate?
Anatomy is carefully assessed before the procedure. Certain congenital abnormalities, such as hypospadias, epispadias, a buried penis, or significant congenital penile curvature, may make circumcision medically inappropriate. In some cases, the foreskin may be needed for later reconstruction. In these situations, circumcision is postponed and, when appropriate, the child is referred for specialist assessment.
