FAQ? Infants and Newborns
FAQ? Teens and Adults
At what age can my baby be circumcised?
Age alone does not determine suitability.Dr Muhammad Awais assesses the baby's age, weight, general health, penile anatomy, bleeding risk and other relevant factors before deciding whether circumcision can be safely performed in the clinic.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes.
An appropriate clinical assessment is required before circumcision.
The practice can advise whether assessment occurs at a separate consultation or as part of the procedural booking pathway.
What method does Dr Awais use for babies?
For appropriately selected newborns and infants, Dr Awais uses the Plastibell technique.
The exact method depends on individual assessment.
Is circumcision painful for a baby?
Circumcision can cause pain and discomfort.
Local anaesthesia and appropriate pain-management strategies are used to reduce discomfort.
Parents should be given advice about comfort measures after the procedure.
How long does Plastibell stay on?
The ring normally separates as the area heals, but the timing varies.
Parents should follow the aftercare instructions provided by the clinic and contact the practice if the ring has not separated within the timeframe advised by Dr Awais or if there are other concerns.
Can I pull the Plastibell off?
No.
Parents should not pull or forcibly remove the Plastibell unless specifically instructed by the treating clinician.
What should the penis look like after circumcision?
Some redness and swelling can occur as part of normal healing.
Parents will receive specific written aftercare instructions describing expected changes and warning signs.
When should I seek medical help?
Seek medical advice promptly for:
- significant or persistent bleeding
- difficulty passing urine
- increasing swelling
- spreading redness
- fever or signs of significant infection
- marked change in colour of the glans
- severe or worsening pain
- displacement of the ring
- any other concern about the baby’s condition
Emergency symptoms should be assessed through an appropriate urgent or emergency service.
Can every baby have Plastibell circumcision?
No.
Certain anatomical or medical conditions may mean circumcision should be postponed, performed differently or referred for specialist assessment.
Who performs adult circumcision at Sydney Circumcision?

Where is adult circumcision available?
Dr Awais provides the service at iFamily Medical Centre:
- Rooty Hill
- Campbelltown
What technique does Dr Awais use for adult circumcision?
For appropriately selected adult patients, Dr Awais uses the ShangRing circumcision technique.
What happens at the consultation?
The consultation may include:
- reason for requesting circumcision
- medical history
- medication review
- allergies
- bleeding history
- examination where appropriate
- discussion of treatment options
- risks and benefits
- alternatives
- anaesthesia
- recovery and activity restrictions
- fees
- consent
Are there any potential complications or risks?
No surgical procedure is entirely without risk. However, the Plastibell ring technique—trusted globally since 1953—is proven to deliver safe, precise, and reliable outcomes for infant circumcision. While minor complications such as localized bleeding or infection are uncommon, Dr. Awais will discuss all potential risks thoroughly during your consultation. Though hospital admission following the procedure is extremely rare, our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and monitoring to ensure maximum safety.
Is ShangRing suitable for everyone?
No.
A clinical assessment is required.
Anatomical, medical or other factors may make a different treatment or referral more appropriate.
Is adult circumcision performed under general anaesthetic?
The Sydney Circumcision website should state the actual protocol used by Dr Awais.
If procedures are performed under local anaesthetic, use:
“Adult circumcision is generally performed using local anaesthesia at our clinic when clinically appropriate.”
Avoid absolute claims that no patient will ever require another form of anaesthesia or hospital treatment.
How long does the procedure take?
Published ShangRing studies generally report shorter procedural times than conventional surgical circumcision.
Individual appointment time is longer because assessment, preparation, local anaesthesia and post-procedure care are also required.
Patients should allow the time advised by reception.
Do I need stitches?
One feature of the ShangRing technique is that standard surgical suturing may not be required in the same manner as conventional sleeve circumcision.
However, treatment may need to be modified if clinically required.
The website should not make an absolute promise of:
“No stitches under any circumstances.”
When can I return to work?
This depends on:
- type of work
- physical demands
- healing
- discomfort
- individual clinical circumstances
Patients should follow the advice given after their procedure.
When can I exercise?
Strenuous physical activity may need to be restricted during recovery.
Dr Awais will advise when activities can be resumed.
When can I have sex or masturbate again?
Sexual activity should be avoided until adequate healing has occurred and the treating doctor considers it appropriate.
Provide the specific timeframe used in Dr Awais’s aftercare protocol rather than promising a universal recovery date online.
Will the result look exactly how I want?
No specific cosmetic result can be guaranteed.
Circumcision changes the appearance of the penis and outcomes vary according to anatomy, healing and other individual factors.
Patients who have particular expectations should discuss them before providing consent.
Can circumcision improve sexual performance?
Research into sexual outcomes contains different findings, and individual experiences vary.
Does circumcision prevent sexually transmitted infections?
Circumcision has been associated with reduced risk of acquisition of some infections in particular populations.
It does not eliminate STI risk.
Condoms, vaccination where applicable, appropriate testing and other safer-sex practices remain important.
Does circumcision prevent HIV?
Circumcision has been shown to reduce female-to-male heterosexual HIV acquisition in trials conducted predominantly in high-prevalence African settings.
It does not provide complete protection against HIV and should not replace established HIV prevention methods.
For an Australian patient-facing website, this should be contextualised rather than promoted as a major reason to purchase circumcision.
