What is Circumcision?
Circumcision is the surgical removal of all or part of the foreskin (skin covering the head of the penis). The decision to be circumcised is very personal and should only be made after careful consideration. We encourage you to discuss any questions or concerns with your health-care provider.
Reasons for circumcision generally fall into three broad groups: - To treat a medical condition
- To prevent future disease
- To fulfill a religious/cultural tradition

Time involved:
- 20 minute consultation followed by the application of a numbing cream.
- The patient waits 30 minutes for the cream to take affect, then the circumcision procedure itself takes approximately 25 minutes.
- After the procedure we ask the patient to wait 30 minutes for a final review before they are sent home.
The Method
There are many different techniques to perform circumcisions. The options will be discussed with the patient/family during the consultation. The aim is to have a successful procedure while keeping the patient as comfortable as possible.

Circumcision Melbourne — Your trusted doctor for circumcision at all ages
Victoria Circumcision Clinic specialises in performing circumcisions for males of all ages in Melbourne — from newborns to older men. Your comfort is our main priority and we ensure you will receive the highest quality care and support. Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin from the tip of the penis, usually for health, religious or cultural reasons. We perform a variety of circumcision procedures, depending on our patient’s unique needs.What you need to know before the procedure
Circumcision is a surgery, even if it is low risk. As such, it is important for the family to deliberate on whether they want their son to be circumcised and consider the pros and cons. Dr. Hajoona will go over all the main concerns in your consultation and will be able to answer any questions about the procedure; below are some of the most common queries we receive from our Melbourne patients and other information you may find useful for your decision.What age is best for circumcision?
Circumcision is commonly performed in infancy but can also be carried out safely at any age, including adulthood. In newborns, the procedure is generally shorter and recovery may be faster than in older children or adults. If you're considering circumcision for your son, a consultation in the early months after birth allows time to discuss the procedure, potential risks, recovery, and available options.What are the benefits of circumcision?
Circumcision is mostly performed for religious or cultural reasons; however, there are several recorded health benefits of the procedure.- Lowers risk of certain infections and diseases
- Prevents phimosis (tightening of the foreskin)
- Prevents balanitis (infections under the foreskin)
- Improves hygiene of penis area
What are the risks of circumcision?
Circumcision is a surgery and is not completely risk-free. Below are some of the risks that are known to be associated with the procedures; most, however, can be mitigated by having the foreskin removal performed by a Melbourne practitioner, such as Dr Hajoona. Please feel free to reach out and speak to our professionals if you have any concerns or would like to discuss our procedures further.- Glans irritation
- Bleeding
- Pain
- Infection of the wound
- Lack of informed consent (for baby boys)
- Urinary Meatitis (inflammation of the opening of the penis)
- Risk of injury to the penis
Circumcision methods
There are a number of effective circumcision practices in the field; in his years Dr Hajoona has refined his procedures to produce the best results and minimize pain and discomfort. Pain relief will be determined based on the patient and method of circumcision. Newborns will receive a local anesthetic and may be given a sugar-water solution that minimizes discomfort. Older men may be given stronger medication to ease any pain they experience.Plastibell method

After the procedure
Once the circumcision is finished, we will keep you or your baby for observation in our Melbourne clinic to ensure that there are no adverse effects. We will also arrange a follow-up to change the dressing, check the wound and determine if there are any problems. A little bleeding is normal after the circumcision and may be found on the gauze or underwear; however, if the bleeding doesn’t stop, put pressure on the wound and seek medical attention. Swelling of the tip of the penis can also be expected and should go down in a few days. Your doctor will give you care instructions depending on your individual circumstances (age, health, etc.) before sending you home and will be on call in case of any problems. Expect the healing process to take anywhere from 2–4 weeks for infants and 4–6 weeks for older patients.
