Infant Circumcision in Ireland
We believe that there is nothing better for ensuring a baby’s comfort than the presence of a parent. Your baby is always with you, and you are welcome and encouraged to be in the private room during the procedure. Parents are never asked to wait in another room while the circumcision is being done.
Babies, if they remain awake during the procedure, are soothed by a pacifier made up of natural ingredients.
The procedure room will be kept warm to provide maximium comfort for your son.
At Gentle Procedures, it is not uncommon for babies to sleep right through their circumcision. We really are gentle.
Why Gentle Procedures for an Adult Circumcision in Ireland?
Adult circumcision is undertaken by our clients for a variety of reasons. Some men get themselves circumcised at an adult age for personal or cosmetic reasons. Others seek relief from an overly tight foreskin (phimosis) or other conditions that can be addressed with an adult circumcision procedure.
Whatever the reason a mature man seeks to get circumcised (at any age), we are pleased to offer adult circumcision care at Gentle Procedures Ireland circumcision clinic. Our circumcision doctors performs adult circumcision on a daily basis and our proven Pollock Technique™ and Shang Ring technique are known to deliver excellent cosmetic results with the minimum of discomfort.
Importantly – a general anaesthetic is not required – and this significantly reduces the risk and complexity of the procedure. With the use of multiple local anaesthetics only, we eliminate the need for a hospital setting and are able to perform the circumcision procedure for adult age males in our circumcision clinic on an in-office-procedure basis.

Irish Circumcision Research & Considerations
Each year, there are millions of circumcisions performed worldwide. Newborn circumcision, when performed properly, is quick and safe (source – The RACP). The potential medical benefits accrue from infancy through old age, although the Irish HSE does not recommend routine infant circumcision (source – Irish HSE).
It is Gentle Procedure’s position that when parents are making a decision about circumcision they should be advised of the present state of medical knowledge about its benefits and harms. The parental decision may ultimately be based on personal, religious or cultural factors.
For more information on the risks and benefits of circumcision, please visit our Media page to find links to original policy statements and studies – including a 2016 paper published in the Journal of Urology which concludes that the benefits of circumcision may have been previously understated. The authors (including Dr. Neil Pollock) find that circumcision affords important benefits to men throughout their lives.
We encourage you to research a variety of sources for information about infant male circumcision.

Adult circumcision is one of our specialties.
Why do some Irish parents choose to circumcise their sons?
An infant circumcision is often undertaken for cultural and religious reasons, and there can be health benefits as well.
Our Muslim clients circumcise their babies in accordance with their traditions, and many other families simply choose to carry on a family tradition, or seek the health benefits that may come from male circumcision:
It reduces the risk of urinary tract infection.
It reduces the risk of penile infection also called balanoposthitis.
It eliminates the need for circumcision later in life when a small percentage of boys will require a circumcision because of various problems.
It reduces the risk of getting some sexually transmitted diseases including Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and AIDS (HIV).
It reduces the risk of penile cancer and cervical cancer in a man’s female partners.
Sources for these statements include the Irish HSE, the NHS (UK), and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Key Questions About Infant Male Circumcision in Ireland
What is Circumcision?
Circumcision is a simple procedure in which the foreskin that sheathes the head of the penis is removed. Since foreskin traps bacteria and other infectious agents, its removal may improve genital hygiene and reduce the risk of disease over the lifetime of the boy and his future sexual partners.
Why Circumcise?
Circumcision has been the topic of debate for many decades. Procedures have been deemed unnecessary and stressful by some, but times have changed somewhat. Due to medical advancements, doctors can now conduct virtually pain free circumcision procedures which are quick and effective.
There are many significant studies and associated evidence linking circumcision to improved health and lower incidences of serious and deadly diseases (source – The American Academy of Pediatrics).
The evidence of the benefits of circumcision, coupled with medical advancements and improved circumcision techniques has resulted in increased public awareness, acceptance and an increase in the demand for infant circumcision.
The medical team at the Gentle Procedures Clinic only use the Pollock Technique™, which is very quick and virtually pain free and is associated with low complication rates. Our doctors and staff are all educated and trained in the procedure and are dedicated to making your experience with us as pleasant as possible.
Circumcision Benefits
There are some potential health benefits to male infant circumcision and there are also some reasons not to circumcise baby boys. Our recommendation is that you make an informed a decision as possible, and the answer to the question of why to circumcise that you come to will be unique to you and your family.
Circumcision is part of both Judaism and Islam, and many Christians and people of other religious backgrounds also choose circumcision for health and cosmetic reasons, or to continue family tradition.
What Types of Circumcision Are There?
There are different methods of circumcision practiced today. At the Gentle Procedures Ireland circumcision clinic, we only use the Pollock Technique™ because we believe it is one of the safest and most comfortable methods for male circumcision available.
The method we use minimizes pain for the patient via application of multiple modalities to reduce it, including:
- Infant paracetamol before the procedure
- Numbing cream applied before the anaesthetic injection
- A dorsal penile block (an anaesthetic injection) that removes all feeling from the penis
- A sugar pacifier to keep the baby distracted (not used in adult circumcisions)
- Post-circumcision follow-up to quickly spot any issues.
Additionally, our doctors also controls environmental factors in the procedure room to maximize the patient’s comfort.
We maintain the temperature at a warm and comfortable level and may play music to help provide a calm ambiance during the brief operation.
