About Circumcision
Adult circumcision is a surgical procedure that removes the foreskin from the penis. It is performed for medical, practical, or personal reasons, including tight foreskin (phimosis), recurrent infections, or personal preference. Many men also choose circumcision alongside penis enlargement surgery for a more comprehensive genital enhancement.
All procedures at Moorgate Andrology are carried out by GMC-registered urologists in a modern, clinical setting. Most patients return home the same day under local anaesthetic. Its offered in London, Hornchurch and Preston


When Circumcision is Recommended
Circumcision may be recommended for:
-
Tight foreskin (phimosis) causing pain or difficulty retracting
-
Recurrent infections such as balanitis
-
Tears or splits in the foreskin
-
Hygiene or comfort preferences
-
Personal choice for cosmetic or cultural reasons
Men planning penis enlargement may also want to consider penile filler treatments for combined enhancement.

Circumcision is permanent. Once the foreskin is removed, it does not grow back.
As with any surgery, there are potential risks such as minor bleeding, infection, or delayed healing. These are rare when performed by our experienced urologists. Detailed aftercare guidance is provided to minimise risk.
