Generally, it is advisable that circumcisions are carried out as early as possible – the younger the baby, the better. The available evidence strongly support early infancy as the optimal time for clinical circumcisions. The prime age for circumcision is typically 0- 4 weeks (provided the baby is of a healthy weight and in overall good health). Benefits include an excellent cosmetic outcome, minimal associated risk and minimal discomfort for the child as at that age, they feel very little pain.

For all the circumcision procedures we carry out, we use the traditional circumcision method. It is a very quick procedure – the typical duration of which is no longer than a few seconds.
