Hi i am an 18 year old male looking to be circumcised. This is something i have thought long and hard on. I live in Glasgow Scotland and was wondering if anyone around me has had this done and where and how much. Thank you

Also if anyone knows of a health insurance company that will cover the cost then pls comment

Thank you in advance !

Ryan,

make sure you think very carefully before deciding to have surgery you don't actually need.

Circumcision cannot be undone as organisations like Norm will testify:

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Hi Ryan,

Do you need it for medical reasons or purely cosmetic/hygiene?

If it's not medical most insurance companies won't pay out and you will need to go private. If that's the case I would recommend the circumcision centre in Luton, that's where I had mine.

Hi its for cosmetic reasons. How much did you pay ?

in reply toCrazy-Ryan

£500 with stitches or £575 with the skin glue. It's worth paying extra for the glue you get a nice neat scar.
