Frequently asked questions

How much does circumcision cost in Cardiff?

£1,495 at our clinic, for either stapler or traditional circumcision. If your foreskin needs sending to a laboratory, histology is an extra £200 and we will tell you if this applies. In uncommon cases, BXO (a scarring skin condition) fuses the tissues and reconstruction is needed as well, which carries an extra fee.

What age do you treat?

We treat patients aged 16 and over only. We do not offer circumcision to anyone under 16.

What is needed for a patient aged 16 or 17?

Please bring photo ID for both parents and a consent form signed by everyone with parental responsibility. If you are a single parent, please speak to us first.

Can I have everything done in one visit?

Where suitable, yes. With a one-stop appointment your consultation and procedure happen on the same day, and the £150 consultation fee is waived. If you book a separate consultation, the £150 fee applies. Revision circumcision always needs a consultation first.

Do I need a GP referral?

No. You can book directly with us.

Will I be awake?

Yes. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb while you stay awake.

Will it hurt?

You will feel a sting from the anaesthetic injection. Once numb, you should feel touch and pressure but not pain. Expect some soreness for the first few days.

How long will I need off work?

Returning to a desk job the next day is possible if you avoid heavy lifting, but most patients take a few days off for comfort. For a physical job, allow 2 weeks.

When can I have sex again?

Usually 4 to 6 weeks after circumcision. We will discuss this at your 4-week review.

What are the risks?

As with any surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, swelling and being unhappy with the appearance. Dr Wani goes through these with you before you consent.

Is circumcision available on the NHS?

Circumcision that is not medically necessary is not covered by the NHS. Medical cases can face long waits, and privately there is no waiting list.
