Medical considerations for circumcision
Circumcision involves the removal of the foreskin, the retractable fold of skin covering the head of the penis. While the foreskin naturally separates over time, some individuals experience issues that may require circumcision, such as:
- Phimosis — A tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back, causing discomfort or difficulty urinating.
- Paraphimosis — A condition where the foreskin gets stuck behind the head of the penis, leading to swelling and pain.
- Recurrent balanitis — Inflammation or infection of the foreskin and head of the penis.
- Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans (BXO) — A chronic skin condition affecting the foreskin and glans.
- Hygiene concerns — Difficulty in maintaining proper hygiene, leading to discomfort or irritation.
- Trauma or injury — Damage to the foreskin that requires surgical intervention.
Whether for medical or personal reasons, doctors at our clinic will guide you through your options and provide personalised advice to help you make an informed decision.
Circumcision procedures of the doctors we host
At Penrith Medical and Fitness Centre, we partner with highly experienced practitioners specialising in circumcision in Sydney, NSW. They offer two main methods:
- Ring method (PlastiBell technique) — Used for newborns, this involves placing a small plastic ring around the foreskin, which naturally falls off within a few days.
- Surgical circumcision — Suitable for older children and adults, this involves a precise surgical removal of the foreskin under local anaesthesia.
Procedures are generally straightforward and often take approximately 30 minutes for newborns and up to 60 minutes for adults. Healing times vary, with newborns typically recovering within two to three weeks, while adults may take up to six weeks.

- Prevention of certain medical conditions such as phimosis, balanitis and paraphimosis
- Reduced risk of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV and HPV
- Lower risk of penile cancer and reduced risk of cervical cancer in female partners
- Decreased chances of inflammation and irritation
Vasectomy Side Effects
The vasectomy risks are rarely seen. Following the procedure, you may have slight discomfort, swelling in your scrotum, and maybe some bleeding. However, they occur infrequently and are usually not dangerous. Pain that does not go away affects about 1 – 2% of males.
However, some might feel symptoms of discomfort that are uncommon, including;
Vasectomy Effectiveness and Why It Is Done?
People usually ask questions like, is vasectomy safe? Is vasectomy permanent? We have satisfactory answers to all of your questions. Vasectomy is a safe and efficient method of birth control for men who are sure about not having children in the future. In addition, it is permanent in preventing conception. However, vasectomy failure rates are very low.
Vasectomy Penrith is far less expensive than female sterilization or the long-term expense of birth control drugs for women. In addition, a vasectomy eliminates the necessity for pre-sex birth control measures such as using a condom.
