Circumcision at Andrología Barcelona: a definitive solution for phimosis and recurrent discomfort

Some men have difficulty retracting the foreskin, discomfort during sexual intercourse, or repeated infections. In many cases, the cause is phimosis or a functional problem of the foreskin.

Although it may generate concern or discomfort, this is a frequent situation with a solution.

At Andrología Barcelona – Teknon Medical Center, Dr. Xavier Bonet and Dr. Josep Torremadé perform circumcision with a personalized approach, explaining each step of the procedure and resolving all doubts before the intervention.

The goal is clear: to resolve the functional problem and improve the patient’s quality of life with safety and peace of mind.

What is circumcision?

Circumcision is a surgical procedure that consists of partially or totally removing the foreskin, the skin that covers the glans.

It is indicated when there are problems such as:

• Phimosis (difficulty or impossibility retracting the foreskin)
• Paraphimosis
• Repeated infections
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Hygiene problems due to narrowing
• It is a frequent and safe intervention when correctly indicated.

Symptoms that may indicate the need for treatment

Some men come to consultation when they have:

• Pain when retracting the foreskin
• Difficulty maintaining proper hygiene
• Recurrent inflammations
• Pain during erection
• Discomfort during sexual intercourse
• When these symptoms are present, a complete evaluation is carried out at Andrología Barcelona to determine whether circumcision is the best solution or whether there are other alternatives.

How is the diagnosis made at Teknon Barcelona?

The evaluation begins with a simple physical examination during consultation. The specialist assesses the degree of narrowing of the foreskin and the associated symptoms.

In most cases, complex tests are not necessary. The diagnosis is usually clinical.

The available options, the benefits of the procedure, and the recovery process are explained to the patient.

The approach is always individualized and adapted to the patient’s age, general condition, and needs.

What is the procedure like?

Circumcision is usually performed under local anesthesia, although in some cases another type of anesthesia may be used depending on medical criteria.

The procedure consists of removing the excess foreskin skin and performing a careful suture that allows proper healing.

It is an intervention that is:

• Outpatient
• Short in duration
• With progressive recovery
• With follow-up care
• After the intervention, mild swelling or temporary discomfort may appear, which is usually easily controlled with medication.
• It is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse during the healing period indicated by the specialist.

What can I expect after surgery?

During the first few days, there may be swelling and sensitivity in the operated area. This is part of the normal recovery process.

The patient receives clear instructions on hygiene, local care, and pain control.

Healing is usually completed within a few weeks, and most patients progressively return to their usual activity.
