Why men come to see us
- Tight foreskin (phimosis): a foreskin that is difficult or painful to pull back, which can affect erections, sex or washing. Read about phimosis.
- Recurrent infections: repeated inflammation or infection of the foreskin and the head of the penis (balanitis).
- Short or tight frenulum: pain, tearing or bleeding on the underside of the penis, often during erections.
- Religious reasons: circumcision carried out by a doctor in a registered clinic.
- Personal choice: hygiene, appearance or simply your own preference.
Dr Wani will examine you, explain your options and tell you honestly if a different treatment would suit you better.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly, and there is no waiting list. After your procedure we can send a letter to update your GP records.
How old do I need to be?
We treat patients aged 16 and over in Cardiff. Patients aged 16 or 17 need parental ID and consent. Circumcision for children is offered at our sister clinic, Circumcision Centre Ireland, in Dublin.
Is circumcision painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you stay awake but the area is numb. Some soreness afterwards is normal, and you go home with pain relief and written aftercare advice.
What is the difference between stapler and traditional circumcision?
CircCurer stapler circumcision takes about 10 to 15 minutes and closes the wound with tiny titanium staples that fall out on their own. Traditional cut and stitch takes about 60 to 90 minutes and uses dissolvable stitches. Both cost £1,495. The stapler is not suitable for everyone, and Dr Wani will advise you at your consultation.
How soon can I go back to work?
With a desk job most men take a few days off. With a physical job, allow about two weeks. Full recovery is usually 2 to 3 weeks after stapler circumcision and up to 6 weeks after traditional circumcision.
How much does circumcision cost?
Adult circumcision is £1,495 for either the stapler or traditional method, and frenuloplasty is £650. Where suitable, your consultation and procedure take place on the same day and the £150 consultation fee is waived. 0% finance over up to 9 months is available through Humm, subject to status.

Yes. Circumcision Centre Wales is our specialist circumcision service, based at Excel Clinic at Cardiff Gate and registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales. Bookings are made through the Circumcision Centre Wales website or by calling 02922 645305.
