What is Male Circumcision?

Male circumcision involves the surgical removal of the foreskin from a male’s penis. This procedure can be performed at any age, from birth until late adulthood. The foreskin is a piece of skin that covers the glans (head of the penis).

When a baby boy is born, the foreskin is attached to the penis and, over time, the foreskin will separate itself from the head of the penis so that it can be retracted.

In some cases, the foreskin does not separate, causing a condition known as phimosis. Phimosis usually requires circumcision as a corrective intervention.

When are Most Circumcisions Performed?

Most commonly, male circumcision takes place one or two days after birth while the baby boy is still in hospital (assuming the child was born in hospital).

Otherwise, religious, and cultural norms will dictate when circumcision takes place. For example, in the Jewish and Islamic faiths, baby boys will be circumcised when they are 8 days old, while in Xhosa tradition when a young man is initiated into adulthood, circumcision is one of the rituals performed.

The Male Circumcision Procedure

In infants/children, the procedure can be done under a local anesthetic. We have the option of using anesthetic injections or anesthetic cream, which is applied to the penis before and is then wrapped with sterile gauze. The procedure takes about 15 minutes to be completed. The infant/child goes home with a ring attached to the penis and it falls off between 10 - 14 days. Pain medication is prescribed only if they have pain. A follow-up visit it required if there are any problems. The doctor can be contacted at any time via WhatsApp. (Our GP at Parkhealth will provide his contact number to the patient after the procedure is completed)

In adults, the procedure can also be done under a local anesthetic (anesthetic injection). The procedure is more involved, it requires stitches (suturing), takes about 45 minutes to be completed and the patient goes home with a dressing applied to the wound. The patient needs to see the doctor 2 days after the procedure and a follow-up visit is required 2 weeks after the procedure. Sexual activity can be resumed after 6 weeks.

How Much Does Circumcision Cost in South Africa?

The cost of circumcision varies between children and adults. Therefore, we recommend that you give our medical practices a call to inquire about costs.

    HOW I WAS CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS
    I am writing this testimonial with immense gratitude and a renewed sense of hope in my heart. For years, I battled with the physical and emotional torment caused by the herpes virus. It felt like an unending struggle, until I discovered a remarkable solution that changed my life forever. Like many others, I had tried countless remedies, medications in search of a cure. I had lost hope, resigned to the belief that herpes was something I would have to live with indefinitely. However, fate intervened and led me to a breakthrough that altered the course of my life. Upon stumbling on a revolutionary treatment option, my skepticism slowly transformed into a flicker of hope. The treatment was a natural remedy from Dr Awase [ HERBS ] Over time, as I followed the treatment diligently, I started noticing positive changes and I experienced a boost in my overall well-being. I am ecstatic to share that I am now herpes-free confirmed by my Dr after a test was done. The treatment I received was nothing short of miraculous and I couldn't be more grateful. I have regained my self-confidence and the burden that once weighed heavily upon me has been lifted. I was cured of my herpes virus through natural medication.
    If you, like me, have been struggling with herpes and searching for a way out, please know that hope exists. May my story inspire hope in the hearts of those who need it. He also specializes in getting rid of HPV, OVARIAN CYST, PCOS, HEPATITIS and a lot more.

    I was really stressed by Erectile dysfunction issues and had consulted Dr Moses Buba. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in me and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Dr Moses Buba enough.

    Honestly, this Love spell caster made me feel a lot better. My marriage was restored and my husband came back to me he apologized for all the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. A big thanks to this wonderful psychic for bringing my husband back to me.. I never really believed in magic spells or anything spiritual but a trusted friend opened my eyes to the truth about life. My marriage was heading to divorce a few months ago. I was so confused and devastated with no clue or help on how to prevent it, till I was introduced to Dr. Excellent that did a love spell and broke every spiritual distraction from my marriage. A day later my husband started showing me love and care even better than it used to be, he’s ready to talk things through and find ways for us to stay happy. It’s such a miracle that my marriage can be saved so quickly without stress. You can also contact him for help. Here his contact.

    Living with Lupus is often a battle not just against the illness itself, but also against the emotional weight of uncertainty, fatigue, and the toll of long-term medications. For one courageous woman, that battle began in 2013. Diagnosed after Lupus had already affected her joints and internal organs, she was quickly placed on medication that initially helped. But as time went on, her health declined again this time with more frequent flare-ups and increasingly difficult side effects.
    Like many others with chronic illness, she faced the crushing weight of hopelessness. Each day became harder than the last, and conventional treatments no longer offered the comfort they once did. But in March 2020, at her lowest point, she made a decision that changed everything.
    Out of desperation and with a healthy dose of skepticism she turned to NaturePath Herbal Clinic, hoping their natural Lupus treatment might offer at least some relief. What happened next went far beyond her expectations.
    After completing a six-month herbal program, her flare-ups stopped entirely. Her energy returned. The chronic pain that had defined her daily life began to fade. For the first time in years, she felt like herself again. Not just alive but truly living.
    Her story is not just one of healing; it’s one of resilience, open-mindedness, and the courage to try something new when all else fails. By sharing her journey, she hopes to offer something priceless to others living with Lupus: hope.
    This treatment has been a true breakthrough for her. If you’re searching for a safe, natural, and effective alternative, I genuinely recommend giving this a chance.”
