Overview
For men along the Ghodbunder Road corridor from Kapurbawdi to Brahmand who require circumcision.Read moreShow less
Whether for phimosis, recurrent balanitis, lichen sclerosus, or by personal choice — Mercurrey Hospital at Kapurbawdi junction provides accessible, specialist urological care within 10–20 minutes of most Ghodbunder Road residential communities. Circumcision for a working professional requires specific practical considerations: a procedure that can be performed on a Friday and return to desk work by the following week, a clear pre-operative assessment that distinguishes medical from elective indications, and post-operative care instructions that are specific and realistic. Dr. Harshawardhan Godbole FRCS provides this at Mercurrey Hospital — circumcision as a day-case procedure under local anaesthesia, with a recovery timeline that accommodates the Ghodbunder Road professional's schedule. Consultation ₹1,000.
What to know
Adult Circumcision at Mercurrey Hospital, Kapurbawdi
Circumcision — surgical removal of the foreskin — is performed for medical indications including phimosis (tight foreskin that cannot be retracted), paraphimosis (foreskin trapped behind the glans), recurrent balanitis (infection beneath the foreskin), lichen sclerosus (scarring skin condition of the foreskin), and as elective adult circumcision for personal, cultural, or religious reasons.Read moreShow less
Medical circumcision under local or general anaesthesia is performed as a day case. Healing typically takes 4–6 weeks. Dr. Godbole performs adult circumcision at all HRG Urology clinic locations.
Circumcision for the Ghodbunder Road Professional — Practical Scheduling
For the Ghodbunder Road professional man who wants circumcision, practical scheduling concerns are as important as clinical quality.Read moreShow less
At Mercurrey Hospital, circumcision is performed as a day-case procedure — arriving at 9am, procedure completed by 10am, discharged by 11am. Most desk-work professionals can return to work within 3–5 days, making a Friday procedure allow return to the office on Wednesday or Thursday the following week. Physical work, gym use, and intercourse are avoided for 4–6 weeks. This practical timeline is explained clearly at the consultation so that scheduling decisions can be made with realistic expectations.
Frenuloplasty as an Alternative to Full Circumcision
In some men with phimosis or frenulum-related difficulties during intercourse, frenuloplasty.Read moreShow less
A minor surgical procedure that releases a tight or short frenulum — is an alternative to full circumcision that preserves the entire foreskin. Frenuloplasty is appropriate where the primary problem is frenulum tightness causing pain or tearing during intercourse rather than a tight prepuce. At Mercurrey Hospital, the circumcision consultation specifically assesses whether frenuloplasty is a clinically appropriate alternative to full circumcision for the individual patient's specific anatomy and indication.

Questions
Can circumcision be performed as a day case at Mercurrey Hospital, Kapurbawdi?
Yes. Circumcision at Mercurrey Hospital is performed as a day case under local anaesthesia — no overnight stay required. Most patients arrive at 9am, have the procedure completed by 10am, and are discharged by 11am. Local anaesthesia (penile block) is administered, the procedure takes 20–30 minutes, and a 30-minute observation period follows before discharge. You will need someone to drive you home or can travel by auto-rickshaw.
What is frenuloplasty and how is it different from circumcision?
Frenuloplasty is a minor surgical procedure that releases a tight or short frenulum — the band of tissue on the underside of the glans connecting to the inner foreskin. It preserves the entire foreskin and is appropriate for men whose primary problem is frenulum-related pain or tearing during intercourse (frenulum breve) rather than a tight prepuce. At Mercurrey Hospital, the circumcision consultation assesses whether frenuloplasty is clinically appropriate — offering a foreskin-preserving alternative where the indication specifically involves the frenulum rather than the full foreskin.
Can I go to the gym after circumcision and when can I resume exercise?
Gym use involving core muscles or leg work should be avoided for 4 weeks post-circumcision — increased intra-abdominal pressure and friction from clothing during exercise can reopen healing wounds or cause bleeding. Light walking is acceptable from day 3–5. Cycling should be avoided for 6 weeks. Swimming should be avoided until healing is complete (4–6 weeks) to prevent wound infection. Most Ghodbunder Road professionals who are gym-active should plan for a 4-week gym break.
Is circumcision permanent and is it reversible?
Circumcision is permanent. The removed foreskin cannot be re-attached. Foreskin restoration procedures exist but are not true restoration — they involve stretching remaining penile shaft skin over the glans without restoring the original foreskin tissue. Circumcision should be approached as a permanent change, which is why the consultation at Mercurrey Hospital ensures the patient's informed consent and understanding of the irreversibility before proceeding.
Can circumcision reduce the risk of infections and STIs?
Circumcision reduces the risk of balanitis (foreskin inflammation) and UTI by eliminating the foreskin environment where secretions accumulate. Evidence from sub-Saharan African trials shows circumcision reduces HIV acquisition risk by approximately 60% in heterosexual men, and reduces some other STI risk. However, circumcision does not eliminate STI risk and should not replace condom use as a protective measure. The primary indications for medical circumcision at Mercurrey Hospital are foreskin pathology and function, not STI prevention.
