What is Adult Circumcision?

Circumcision has been performed for thousands of years in many communities all over the world. Medically, it is also a recommended form of treatment for conditions like phimosis (tight foreskin), recurrent balanitis (penile infection) and premature ejaculation. - Singapore Circumcision Clinic

There are several methods normally performed for adults.

Here at our clinics, we utilize the Shang Ring method

Under local anaesthesia, the Shang Ring will be inserted in the foreskin. The outer clamp is then applied externally. The foreskin above the ring is then removed using surgical scissors.

The ring will be left in place for 7-10 days. The patient will then come back to the clinic for removal of the ring. The Shang Ring method is considered one of the safest methods of circumcision by many medical professionals worldwide.

The procedure is painless. It is done under local anaesthesia using numbing cream only.

No injections are required. The numbing cream will take 30 mins to 1 hour to take effect.

After which you will not feel any pain during the procedure.

You may experience some discomfort for the first few days after the procedure from nocturnal erections.

It is a revolutionary circumcision device that shortens the procedure duration down to 5 minutes only instead of the usual 45 minutes or 1 hour via conventional circumcision methods.

Like any surgical procedures, circumcision also comes with its own risks.

Potential risks include bleeding, pain, injury to the penis, wound dehiscence and hematoma formation. However, these risks are low and are manageable. -Singapore Circumcision Clinic
