MEDICAL CIRCUMCISIONS IN EDINBURGH

Medical circumcisions in Edinburgh are performed by the surgeons of Circumcision Clinic Glasgow. The surgeons of the clinic are very experienced in performing medical circumcisions.

Circumcision is the surgical removal of a fold of skin (the `foreskin’ or `prepuce’) that covers the head (glans) of the un-erect penis. Circumcision is one of the most common medical procedures in the world, with 25 circumcisions performed every minute. It is also one of the oldest and one of the simplest.

Medical circumcisions are usually performed for the following reasons:

• A tight foreskin that cannot be retracted (phimosis)
• A foreskin that retracts but cannot be pulled back easily (paraphimosis)
• Recurrent infections under the foreskin (balanitis)
• A chronically inflamed foreskin (balanitis xerotica obliterans or BXO)
• Tearing of the foreskin or pain during sexual activity
• Urinary tract infection
• Preventative measures against some sexually transmitted diseases in men; such as HIV.
