Adult Circumcision in Houston
Expert Urologic Procedure Performed by The Y Factor
Why Men Choose Circumcision
Adult men may elect circumcision for a variety of reasons, including:
- Phimosis: Tight foreskin that cannot be retracted comfortably
- Recurrent infections: Chronic inflammation, balanitis, or poor hygiene tolerance
- Painful intercourse or irritation
- Cosmetic or cultural preference
- Improved hygiene and reduced odor or irritation
Our physicians assess every patient individually to confirm medical necessity, discuss goals, and ensure that the decision is informed and personalized.
How the Procedure Works
Adult circumcision at The Y Factor is typically performed in our office under local anesthesia. The procedure takes approximately 30–45 minutes.
Our process includes:
- Administration of local anesthetic to ensure comfort throughout the procedure
- Careful removal of excess foreskin using sterile, controlled technique
- Precise cosmetic closure with absorbable sutures
- Application of a light dressing and detailed post-procedure care instructions
For patients with specific medical needs or anxiety, mild sedation options can be discussed.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most men experience soreness and swelling for several days following the procedure. Recovery typically includes:
- Downtime: Light activity for 2–3 days; avoid strenuous activity or sexual contact for approximately 4–6 weeks
- Wound care: Keep the area clean and dry per your physician’s instructions
- Pain control: Over-the-counter or prescribed pain relievers as recommended
- Follow-up: In-office or virtual check-in to ensure proper healing
Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and remains available for questions throughout your recovery.
Risks and Considerations
Complications are rare when the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist, but all surgeries carry some risk.
Possible risks include:
- Minor bleeding or infection
- Temporary swelling or discomfort
- Rare unfavorable scarring or altered sensitivity
At The Y Factor, every procedure is performed under strict sterile conditions using meticulous technique to minimize these risks.
Results
Once healing is complete, most men report improved comfort, easier hygiene, and enhanced confidence. Cosmetic results are typically excellent, with minimal visible scarring.
