Where are you getting circumcised

I have a problem with very tight foreskin and have decided I think it’s best to get circumcised, but trying to see my doctor to discuss it is nearly impossible with the covid measures in place, also told by receptionist it’s only emergency cases the doctor will see.

So I’m wondering what others do or where to go?

Note there are alternatives to circumcision. Have a look at this.

Can you not even have a video consultation at your GP practice? I would push for that as a minimum.

If you are prepared to pay for your circumcision, it can be done within a couple of weeks by going directly to one of the growing number of private circumcision clinics around the UK.

A list of known clinics can be obtained by sending a private (chat) message to me, stating your location.

Hi Roddy, I'm considering my options as I'm the usual embarrassed male! A trip to my Doctor would be very uncomfortable! A list of clinics might be very helpful to me, so please reply with your list, as offered. I'm in Northampton (UK) Thanks for your help, and best wishes. P Cheers!

Don’t be embarrassed. But explore all the pros and cons of surgery v medical treatment. If that conversation doesn’t happen when you see the doctor, walk away.

You could try going to your local sexual health clinic as they can bypass your GP and refer straight to a urologist. Other options are to go private but make sure you see a general urologist and not a circumcision specialist. There are alternatives which a circ clinic won't recommend because they want your money

You really need to see your GP to assess your situation. There are alternatives to circumcision. You need to be quite clear with the surgery that none of the COVID measures require that only emergencies are seen!!

If it’s not infected or painful leave it alone.

Go to see a consultant at a private hospital such as Spire…. Will cost you in total about £2250 but the best way to go these days… would be all sorted in a month 👍

Consider the alternative of a self-fix. phimosisjourney.com

You may want to find a urologist who will actually see you in person. There are many doctors who are seeing patients. Also, it is most important to know what you’re getting into. On day 55 after procedure and still healing. Would have appreciated having information beforehand. Thus blog has helped since guys on this blog have actually gone through this. Best of luck!!!!
