Reasons to book your circumcision referral visit

Adult circumcision is more common than many people realize — and usually has a clear medical reason behind it. This visit reviews your situation and connects you with the right specialist.

You have recurrent foreskin infections or inflammation that haven't resolved

Your foreskin is tight and topical steroid treatment hasn't worked

You experience pain or difficulty with retraction during daily activities

You've been diagnosed with lichen sclerosus affecting the foreskin

You want to understand all your options before committing to surgery

You'd like a referral to a urologist for a surgical consultation

Not sure if this is the right next step for you?

Book a visit with a General Medicine clinician first — and they'll help you figure out what's next.

What our customers say about in-person visits

Hear from people who've had General Medicine match them with the right specialist — and stay in their corner every step of the way.

I had low testosterone all the way around so I wanted a referral so I could get properly tested. I'm now getting what I need and leaving my primary care doc in the weeds.

General Medicine reached out to a local neurologist for me and got me an in-person appointment for the same week. My PCP through General Medicine continued to reach out to me to follow up, and I felt very supported the entire time.

Cait

They always treat me with respect and do their best to get me treated quickly. They arrange for all tests and doctor visits when they refer you to specialists. Plus, they take my Medicaid insurance!

Frequently asked questions

What are the medical reasons an adult might be referred for circumcision?

Medical indications include recurrent or refractory phimosis (foreskin that cannot retract), paraphimosis, recurrent balanitis or posthitis, lichen sclerosus (BXO) causing scarring and narrowing, and chronic foreskin infections unresponsive to conservative treatment.

Is circumcision the only treatment for phimosis?

No — topical steroid cream applied to the tight area is an effective first-line treatment for adult phimosis and resolves the condition in many patients without surgery. Preputioplasty (a less extensive surgical procedure) is another option before full circumcision is considered.

What does adult circumcision involve and how long is recovery?

Adult circumcision is performed as an outpatient procedure under local or general anesthesia, typically taking 30–60 minutes. Recovery involves 4–6 weeks of activity restriction — particularly avoiding sexual activity and strenuous exercise. Swelling and bruising are expected; full healing takes several weeks.

Will circumcision affect sexual sensitivity or function?

Research findings on this topic are mixed. Some studies suggest modest differences in sensitivity; others find no significant impact on sexual satisfaction or function. The primary indication for adult circumcision is medical — the decision is made in the context of a specific clinical problem.

What side effects and risks are associated with circumcision?

Common post-operative effects include swelling, bruising, and temporary sensitivity changes. Serious complications — infection, excessive bleeding, wound dehiscence, unsatisfactory cosmetic result — are uncommon but possible. Risks are discussed in detail during the surgical consultation prior to the procedure. Circumcision Referral visit What to expect from a Circumcision Referral visit
