Hi all,

Was diagnosed with Phimosis in early November 2021 i will be seeing a urologist in April and have circumcision as my best option in order to cure it I am currently still a virgin almost as with my last two partners every time I tried intercourse it led to a tear in my frenulum would like to know how long the NHS circumcision waiting list takes for moderately severe cases I would also like to get it done ASAP as I will be going to uni soon and would like for it to be healed by then. Cheers

I saved up the money to go private and had mine done with Nuffield Health. The specialist I saw was also an NHS consultant and he told me that the NHS waiting list for phimosis circumcisions was around 9 months. Good luck, I hope you get sorted.

The NHS waiting list for circumcision has always been quite long since it is not regarded as urgent surgery, so tends to get pushed down the list over and over in favour of more urgent or critical surgery (such as cancer or even broken bones). Covid has, of course, confounded the issue and greatly increased waiting times. A wait of 9 months or more would not now be unusual for a 'routine' circumcision.

If you can afford it, your best bet is to get it done at one of the specialist circumcision clinics (NOT a private hospital) around the country, where the waiting list would be 1-3 weeks and the cost about £500. You can also choose the date to most suit you and the style of the result - which you cannot do in the NHS.

Can you please advise which private clinics offer this service at around £500.

Why don't you take things into your own hands, and save yourself oodles of money and tons of the most sensitive nerves that you possess. STRETCH that foreskin and save yourself years of heartache, when you progressively lose all sensitivity. Ask any of the thousands of cut men who spend years of effort restoring their lost foreskins.

I also have a short frenulum so my doctor said that any form of stretching for even 3 years plus will barley do anything

Believe in yourself and your own ability to solve problems without mutilating your precious penis. It is being done and it has been done by hundreds and probably thousands of men and boys in the same situation. This is a matter of character ... so show your doctor that you have what it takes ... by proving him wrong. Then we'll all cheer!
