What is circumcision?

Circumcision removes the foreskin, for medical reasons (recurrent inflammation, a tight non-retractile foreskin, hygiene) or personal and cultural ones. Performed by a urologist, it is a routine, low-risk outpatient procedure.

The clinic performs circumcision for adults and children with attention to a clean technique, good result and clear aftercare.

Causes

  • Phimosis (tight foreskin)
  • Recurrent balanitis / balanoposthitis
  • Scarring of the foreskin opening
  • Hygiene difficulty
  • Personal, religious or cultural preference

Symptoms

  • A tight foreskin that will not retract
  • Recurrent inflammation of the glans or foreskin
  • Painful retraction or repeated infection
  • Hygiene difficulty
  • Elective / preference-based request

Self-check: should you get this looked at?

  • Your foreskin is tight or will not retract
  • You get recurrent inflammation or infection
  • Retraction is painful
  • You are considering it for hygiene or preference
  • You are seeking it for your child on medical grounds

If several of these apply to you, a urological evaluation is worthwhile. This checklist is a guide, not a diagnosis.

Accurate diagnosis

How we diagnose it

A urologist removes the foreskin with attention to a clean, even result.

Treatment

How we treat circumcision

Adult & pediatric circumcision

Outpatient procedure under local anesthesia; the clinic lists it at ₩500,000, including post-operative dressing care.

Follow-up

A wound check is included; contact us during healing with any concerns.

Honest advice

Where circumcision is not necessary, we say so — conservative care first when appropriate.

English support

Consent and aftercare with English-speaking support.

Circumcision is performed by a board-certified urologist here rather than at a general clinic, which matters for technique, and it is a transparent, fixed service (₩500,000, including post-operative dressing care). We recommend it only where genuinely warranted, with English-speaking support.
