Description

What This Service Treats

• Phimosis – Foreskin is too tight to retract comfortably, causing pain, tearing, irritation or bleeding.
• Recurrent Inflammation / Infection – Swelling, redness or discharge under the foreskin that keeps coming back.
• Buried Penis – The penile shaft is partly hidden or “trapped” by skin and surrounding tissue, making exposure, cleaning and sexual activity difficult.
• Pain During Intimacy – Tearing or cracking of foreskin during erection or intercourse due to tight or scarred tissue.
• Hygiene Difficulty – Trapped moisture and smegma build-up that cannot be cleaned properly because the glans cannot be fully exposed.

Who This Service Is For

• Adult men with longstanding tight foreskin who cannot retract comfortably
• Men with repeated infections under the foreskin or foul odour despite washing
• Men who experience painful tearing, cracks or bleeding at the foreskin edge
• Men with “buried penis” where the head is not easily visible or stays hidden
• Men advised to consider circumcision revision / corrective release instead of simple clamp-style circumcision

How the Corrective Procedure Works

1. Assessment
   Focused examination to identify whether the main issue is phimosis scarring, thickened/tight foreskin, concealed shaft (buried penis), trapped skin folds, skin bridges, or previous poor circumcision result. Medical history and bleeding risk are reviewed.
2. Local Anaesthesia
   The area is cleaned and numbed so you stay awake but the surgical field is pain-controlled. General anaesthesia is usually not required for straightforward adult corrective release.
3. Surgical Release / Reconstruction
   The doctor removes the problematic tissue and reshapes the skin to allow proper exposure of the glans. In buried penis cases, part of the work is to free and define the shaft so it is externally visible rather than hidden. Bleeding is controlled in a sterile clinical setting.
4. Closure and Dressing
   The wound edges are closed using sutures or other closure support chosen for that anatomy. A dressing is applied to protect the area and reduce friction and swelling.
5. Recovery Guidance
   You are given written instructions on hygiene, cleaning, swelling control, underwear type, movement restrictions, sexual rest period, pain control, and red-flag signs to watch for.
6. Follow-Up Review
   Scheduled review lets the clinic check healing, adjust or remove dressing, and confirm that exposure and function are improving as expected.

Why This Is Different from a Standard Circumcision

• Corrective Aim – The goal is not just removing foreskin. It is restoring functional exposure of the glans, improving comfort and allowing proper hygiene in cases of phimosis or buried penis.
• More Complex Anatomy – Buried penis cases and severe phimosis often have scarring, thick tissue and limited access. They require controlled dissection and careful closure, not just a simple clamp device.
• Privacy and Sensitivity – This is an intimate area and often an embarrassing topic. Examination, procedure and dressing are done discreetly in a private clinical room.
• Post-Procedure Support – Ongoing wound care, dressing change and swelling monitoring are built into the pathway. You are not sent home without guidance.
• Improved Daily Function – The intended outcome is less pain, easier cleaning and more confidence with exposure and sexual activity once healed.
