Circumcision season is here. Whether for health, faith, culture or personal choice, the procedure itself should never be the risk. At Botshilu Private Hospital, circumcision is performed by qualified urologists in a sterile operating theatre, with proper anaesthesia, pain control and follow-up care – right here in Soshanguve.
Medical Male Circumcision - Safe, Sterile, Close to Home
Why medical circumcision:
- Performed by a specialist urologist
- Sterile theatre, sterile instruments, anaesthetic care – significantly lower risk of infection and complications
- Proper pain management during and after the procedure
- Structured wound-care follow-up until fully healed
- Medical circumcision reduces the risk of certain infections, including HIV transmission – one of the reasons it is endorsed by the National Department of Health
Who it’s for:
- Boys and young men preparing for the season – book early; June/July slots fill fast
- Adult men choosing circumcision for health or personal reasons
- Patients with medical indications: tight foreskin (phimosis), recurrent infections (balanitis)
What to expect
- A consultation with a doctor first – health check, questions answered, date booked
- The procedure is quick; most patients go home the same day
- Healing guidance and review appointments included – most men heal fully within 4–6 weeks. Booked in June, healed before spring.
