Seen and Treated Quickly
NHS circumcision is increasingly restricted to strict medical criteria. Privately, consultation and surgery are usually available within days rather than months.
Common reasons men choose circumcision in Manchester
Adult men of any age can be treated. Your specialist will confirm the diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment at your confidential consultation.
Phimosis — a tight foreskin
A foreskin that will not retract comfortably can cause pain, tearing and difficulty during intercourse or with hygiene. Circumcision is a definitive, permanent solution with a short recovery.
Recurrent infection or balanitis
Repeated soreness, inflammation and infection that keeps returning despite creams and careful hygiene. Surgery removes the source of the problem rather than treating each flare-up.
Religious, cultural or personal choice
We also treat men choosing circumcision for religious, cultural or cosmetic reasons — always with a full, unhurried discussion of the procedure, the aftercare and the expected appearance.
Not sure circumcision is the right answer? If a short or tight frenulum is the real problem rather than the whole foreskin, a frenuloplasty may resolve the discomfort while preserving the foreskin. Your specialist will advise you at your consultation.

Your questions, answered honestly
Is the consultation confidential?
Yes. Your initial consultation is entirely confidential and carries no obligation to proceed. You are seen privately in your own room at Deansgate Hospital and your notes are kept confidential.
How much does circumcision cost in Manchester?
Circumcision is quoted individually after your consultation, once your specialist has examined you and confirmed which technique suits you. The quote is written, all-inclusive and fixed. Call 0161 470 9280 and our patient team will talk you through exactly what is covered.
Is circumcision done under local or general anaesthetic?
Adult circumcision at Deansgate Hospital is performed under local anaesthetic as a day case. The area is completely numb, the procedure usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, and you go home the same day.
How long does recovery take after circumcision?
Most men take a few days off, often returning to desk-based work within three to five days. Dissolvable stitches disappear over a few weeks. Avoid heavy exercise for around two weeks and sexual activity for about four to six weeks, or as your specialist advises.
Can I have a circumcision on the NHS?
NHS circumcision is increasingly restricted to strict medical criteria and waiting times can be long. Many men choose private circumcision in Manchester for speed, discretion and a choice of specialist.
How quickly can I be seen?
Consultation appointments are usually available within days, and surgery shortly afterwards. Complete the form on this page or call 0161 470 9280 and we will offer you the next available slots.
What if a tight frenulum is the problem rather than the foreskin?
Where the difficulty comes from a short or tight frenulum, a frenuloplasty can often resolve the discomfort while preserving the foreskin. Your specialist will examine you and tell you honestly which option suits you.

Madison House, 37 Little Peter Street, Manchester M15 4QJ — a CQC registered independent private hospital a few minutes from Deansgate station, serving patients across Manchester, Cheshire and the North West.
Is circumcision painful?
The procedure is painless under local anaesthetic. Discomfort afterwards is mild to moderate for a few days and controlled with simple pain relief.
How long does the procedure take?
Usually 30–45 minutes under local anaesthetic, and you go home the same day.
Will I have stitches?
Yes — fine dissolvable stitches that disappear on their own within a few weeks.
Can circumcision cure phimosis?
Yes — circumcision is the definitive treatment for phimosis. Alternatives such as frenuloplasty may be suitable in selected cases.
What are the risks?
Risks include bleeding, infection, swelling and altered sensation, all discussed openly at your consultation. Serious complications are uncommon.
When can I return to the gym?
Light activity after a few days; strenuous exercise and cycling after 2–4 weeks as advised by your specialist.
When can I resume sexual activity?
Usually after 4–6 weeks, once healing is complete. Your specialist will confirm at follow-up.
Will it affect sensation?
Some men notice altered sensitivity initially, which typically settles. Most studies show no significant long-term change in sexual satisfaction.

What is Circumcision?
Treatment Overview
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin. In adults it is most commonly performed for medical reasons — a tight foreskin (phimosis), recurrent infections (balanitis), tearing or discomfort during intercourse — as well as for religious, cultural or personal preference. NHS treatment is increasingly restricted to strict medical criteria, so many men choose private circumcision for fast, discreet resolution.
At Deansgate Hospital the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist under local anaesthetic, usually taking 30–45 minutes, with dissolvable stitches and a clear aftercare plan. You go home the same day.

Alternatives — Frenuloplasty
Where the problem is a short or tight frenulum rather than the whole foreskin, a frenuloplasty may preserve the foreskin while resolving discomfort. Your specialist will advise if this suits you.
