Circumcision Surgery

About Circumcision Surgery

Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin of the penis. While it is often performed in childhood for cultural or religious reasons, many men also choose it later in life. Reasons include recurrent infection, tight foreskin, persistent hygiene problems or a personal preference for a different appearance. Each adult patient should arrive at the decision unhurried and well informed.

Many men quietly live with foreskin-related discomfort for years, feeling shy about discussing it. After a confidential consultation in Lucknow, most patients are reassured that the issue is common and treatable. Following circumcision, they typically report easier hygiene, more comfortable intercourse and significant relief from recurrent symptoms that had been bothering them for a long time.

Adult circumcision at Kayakriti is performed under local anaesthesia and usually takes under an hour. Dr. Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh, measures and removes the foreskin precisely, then closes with fine absorbable sutures to give a tidy aesthetic outcome. Patients can usually return home the same day with simple wound care, oral antibiotics and clear written advice on activity.

We also offer testicular implant surgery for men who have lost a testicle through trauma, infection, cancer surgery or congenital absence. Implants come in several silicone sizes so the new shape can be matched to the opposite side. Adolescents are operated on once they reach physical maturity and the right implant size can be selected.

Implant surgery is performed under general or regional anaesthesia through a small incision either at the top of the scrotum near the base of the penis or in the midline raphe, so any scar is hidden. While implants restore appearance and confidence, they are non-functional and do not produce sperm or hormones, a point we always discuss honestly during consultation.
