Adult Circumcision in London
The IMC Circumcision London, under Dr. Said Bakir, is the leading innovative circumcision clinic in London and has performed over 10,000 successful circumcisions. As well as offering surgical techniques of adult circumcision, such as forceps guided and sleeve resection, the IMC is the only centre in the Greater London region to be fully equipped and trained to use the Adult Shang Ring method. Doctors perform circumcisions at our London clinic with no hospital admission required – a barrier for many men due to anxiety, embarrassment and cost.
We focus on safety, minimising discomfort and ensuring a good cosmetic outcome. It is these priorities that have allowed us to gain our word-of-mouth reputation that has provided us with appointment requests day after day, even since before the internet.
Circumcised men and their partners generally feel more hygienic and evidence suggests that circumcision reduces the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections or developing penile cancer.
You do not need a referral from your GP. You are the only one that needs to decide whether you want a circumcision or not. You can simply ring, talk to our friendly team, and then book a consultation or circumcision appointment at suitable time for you. Whether it is for personal, cultural, Islamic or Jewish reasons, all are welcome to use our services.
Pain during the procedure is reduced due to the application of local anaesthetic. Some men take phone calls or happily read during their operation.
What are the medical reasons for circumcision?
Circumcision may be considered for conditions such as pathological phimosis, recurrent balanitis, paraphimosis and balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO). A GP or urology specialist can assess the condition, discuss other treatment options and determine whether circumcision is medically indicated.
Do you provide circumcision for medical reasons?
No. IMC provides circumcision for personal and religious reasons only. If you require circumcision for a medical reason, please speak to your GP or a urology service.
Surgical methods for circumcision
Surgical circumcision such as forceps guided and sleeve resection can be used for older boys and adults. An adequate dose of local anaesthetic is applied to numb the skin pre-operatively and more may be used during the procedure or post-operatively if this is indicated, for example if the numbness is wearing off. Once numbness is assessed, the foreskin that is covering the glans is surgically removed.
Shang Ring circumcision
This newer method developed with full backing of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hopes to reduce HIV worldwide by making circumcision safer and less invasive. As of 2018, we have performed over 500 circumcisions successfully using this device gaining positive feedback from these men. The main benefits of the Shang Ring are:
- less pain
- minimal bleeding
- requires no stitching
- requires no bandages
- shower as normal immediately
- time away from work minimal
- no stitching marks
You can come in and learn more about the ring method by booking a pressure-free consultation.
