Content brought to you by our Health Partner, DTAP Clinic Singapore.

Male adult circumcision is the removal of the foreskin from the human penis.

When is adult circumcision done?

Circumcision for adults is a medical treatment option for patients with recurring foreskin infections and phimosis (tight foreskin opening). Circumcision is also done for religious reasons.

How is adult circumcision performed?

Several circumcision methods are available for adults.

DTAP clinics utilize two methods: Shang Ring method and the Stapler Method

The Shang Ring Circumcision Method

The Shang Ring method is often considered one of the safest methods of circumcision by many medical professionals worldwide.

Under local anaesthesia, the Shang Ring will first be inserted in the foreskin. An outer clamp is then applied externally. Penile Foreskin above the ring is then removed using surgical scissors.

The Shang Ring will be left in place for 10-14  days, after which, the patient will return to the clinic for ring removal.

Do you need to fast before the circumcision procedure?

There is no need to fast as the Shang Ring method is done under local anaesthesia. You are advised to have a light meal before the circumcision procedure.

Will I be able to pass urine normally after the circumcision procedure?

What are the things you need to look out for after the procedure?

There is a chance of unusual bleeding or wound infection. This is minimised by stopping the bleeding during surgery and completing a course of antibiotics after the circumcision procedure.

Besides that, males usually get multiple erections at night while asleep, and if this happens right after the surgery it may cause your sutures/adhesive to break and cause your wound to open up. You can apply a frozen bag of peas on the penis when an erection that causes severe pain occurs.

This complication is uncommon and if this happens, you will need to consult your surgeon.

Will I be able to live an active life right after the procedure?

Also, a medical certificate is usually given for 1 to 2 weeks to recover.
