What is this?

Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure involving the removal of the foreskin, the retractable fold of skin covering the tip of the penis.

At The Day Clinic in Cambridge, circumcision is performed by experienced urologists in a safe, discreet, and professional environment. The procedure can be carried out for medical, cultural, or personal reasons.

Medical indications include tight foreskin (phimosis), recurrent infections (balanitis), or hygiene-related concerns. Circumcision may also reduce the risk of certain infections and is sometimes advised as a preventive measure in specific cases.

At The Day Clinic, we focus on patient comfort and privacy, using modern techniques under local anaesthetic to minimise discomfort and downtime. Our caring team ensures clear, professional guidance at every step.

Circumcision is commonly performed for:

Phimosis (tight foreskin)
Recurrent balanitis (infections)
Paraphimosis (trapped foreskin)
Hygiene maintenance
Personal or religious reasons

The Consultation

Your journey at The Day Clinic begins with a thorough consultation with one of our experienced urologists. This appointment is essential for discussing your reasons for seeking circumcision and ensuring it’s the right option for you.

During the consultation, your medical history will be reviewed, and a physical examination performed. Your consultant will explain the procedure, including anaesthesia, recovery expectations, and any risks involved.

Our team will provide personalised advice based on your health, age, and goals. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions, and you’ll receive written information to help you make a confident, informed decision.

If circumcision is confirmed as the appropriate treatment, we’ll guide you through scheduling the procedure and preparing for the day, ensuring everything is clear and straightforward from the outset.

The Procedure

Circumcision at The Day Clinic is typically performed under local anaesthetic in our dedicated surgical suite. Patients remain awake and comfortable throughout, with the area carefully numbed to prevent pain.

The urologist begins by cleaning and preparing the area, followed by precise removal of the foreskin using specialised surgical instruments. Great care is taken to ensure aesthetic results and optimal healing. Once the foreskin is removed, dissolvable sutures are used to close the skin edges securely.

The entire process usually takes 30-45 minutes. Throughout, patient dignity and privacy are prioritised. After the procedure, you’ll be monitored for a short period before being discharged the same day with full aftercare instructions. Circumcision at The Day Clinic is designed to be as stress-free and efficient as possible, using established techniques and best practices to support a smooth recovery.

Aftercare & Results

Following circumcision, aftercare is crucial to ensure effective healing and the best possible outcome. At our private medical centre in Cambridge, we provide each patient with a tailored aftercare plan, clear guidance, and access to our support team if needed.

Most patients experience some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort in the first few days. Over-the-counter pain relief and regular cleaning with warm water are usually sufficient for managing symptoms. You’ll be advised to wear loose-fitting clothing and avoid strenuous activity or sexual contact until fully healed.

The sutures used are typically dissolvable and do not require removal. Healing is usually complete within 7-10 days for most patients, though individual recovery times can vary slightly.

Results from circumcision are permanent. Many patients report improvements in symptoms such as discomfort, infections, or hygiene-related concerns. A follow-up consultation may be arranged to check healing progress and answer any further questions.

At The Day Clinic, we’re committed to delivering safe, discreet, and effective urology care with lasting results.

  I am full of praise for Mr Abood, his team and his clinic. It is a friendly, welcoming environment with ample (and free!) parking. The staff are caring and empathetic, the procedure was straightforward and I felt as though my wellbeing was prioritised at all times. I cannot recommend them highly enough and would definitely return. The care I received before, during and after the procedure was excellent, and it was an overall positive experience.

  Yesterday, I attended the Day Clinic for the removal of several moles/lesions. I cannot speak highly enough of the treatment I received and the outstanding way in which it was delivered.
This is my second visit to Mr Abood's Clinic, so there was no apprehension nor doubt that the experience would again exceed expectation.
I found Mr Abood to be highly skilled and knowledgeable, personable and caring. I felt instantly at ease in his care and had absolute confidence in his professionalism and expertise.
A special mention to Rachael too, who was equally welcoming, attentive and very kind.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Abood and his superlative Team.
With grateful thanks
Deborah Daniel.

  The website of Mr Abood promises an individual and bespoke approach to care, and this is exactly what was delivered; from contacting Justine initially and then having the procedure with Mr Abood.  I cannot recommend highly enough the professionalism, assurance and personalised care that Mr Abood and his Team provide.

Swelling or bruising
Discomfort during healing
Rarely, excessive skin removal or scarring
Altered sensitivity

Our team takes every precaution to minimise these risks and provides comprehensive aftercare support. If any concerns arise post-procedure, our specialists are readily available to advise and assist.
