Circumcision for adults

At our Bratislava office we perform it in adult men on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia, with no need for a hospital stay or special pre-operative tests.

What circumcision is and when it is appropriate
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. In adult men it is most often performed for medical reasons – typically for phimosis, a tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back over the glans, or for recurrent inflammation of the glans and foreskin (recurrent balanitis).
Some men also choose the procedure for reasons of hygiene or personal preference. After circumcision there are no skin folds left on the penis where bacteria, viruses or fungi commonly persist – so the procedure raises the standard of hygiene for your partner too.
We perform the procedure on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia. No pre-operative tests or special preparation are needed, and you remain conscious and in contact with the doctor throughout the operation.
Who the procedure is suitable for
We recommend circumcision for adults mainly in the following situations
- Phimosis – a tight foreskin that cannot be pulled back freely over the glans
- Recurrent balanitis – repeated inflammation of the glans and foreskin
- Repeated tearing or painful cracking of the foreskin
- Hygiene reasons – simpler and more effective intimate hygiene
- Personal preference – aesthetic, cultural or religious reasons
The urologist assesses at the initial examination whether circumcision or a gentler procedure is right for you.
How the procedure works
From consultation to going home – all in a single day
1. Consultation and examination
The urologist assesses your condition, explains how the procedure works and answers all your questions. No special pre-operative tests are needed.
2. Local anaesthesia
We apply a local anaesthetic to the area at the base of the penis. Thanks to this, the procedure does not hurt and you remain conscious throughout the operation.
3. The procedure itself
The doctor gently removes the foreskin and closes the wound with absorbable stitches, which dissolve on their own and do not need to be removed.
4. Going home and follow-up
After a short rest you go home. A follow-up check after the procedure is part of the care, and we arrange it as you leave.
Advantages of having the procedure with us
No hospital stay
The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia, and you go home the same day.
Absorbable stitches
We close the wound with absorbable material – the stitches dissolve on their own and make healing easier.
Experienced team
The procedures are performed by board-certified urologists led by MUDr. Ľuboš Rybár.
Discreet approach
We deal with intimate matters sensitively and without unnecessary questions, in the privacy of a modern office.
No complicated preparation
No pre-operative tests or special preparation are needed before the procedure.
Post-operative check
A follow-up examination after the procedure is included.
Preparing for the procedure
Preparation is simple – just follow a few recommendations
- No special pre-operative tests are needed
- On the day of the procedure, wash the intimate area thoroughly
- Tell us in advance about any medication you take, especially blood thinners
- Plan a quiet day without physical exertion on the day of the procedure
- Choose loose-fitting underwear and clothing
Recovery after the procedure
Healing is gradual, and most men quickly return to their normal routine
The first days
Mild swelling and tenderness of the wound are normal. Any pain is usually well controlled with ordinary painkillers.
Healing in 2–4 weeks
The wound heals in about 2 to 4 weeks. The absorbable stitches dissolve on their own during healing.
Return to work
Most men return to a desk job within a few days; postpone physically demanding work as advised by your doctor.
Sexual abstinence
We recommend waiting about 4 to 6 weeks before sexual intercourse or masturbation, until the wound has fully healed.
Recommendations after the procedure
- Keep the wound clean and dry as instructed by your doctor
- Avoid physical exertion, sport and the sauna for the first few weeks
