Request a Consultation for an Adult Circumcision

For men in Northern California, the decision to undergo circumcision as an adult is often driven by a combination of medical necessity, personal hygiene, and long-term health goals. Circumcision is the oldest surgical procedure in the world, with approximately one-third of the global male population being circumcised. While rates vary significantly by region—England at 6% compared to 70% in the United States—the procedure remains a cornerstone of California men’s health.

At BrandeisMD in San Ramon, board-certified urologist Dr. Judson Brandeis provides a high-authority, clinically driven approach to adult circumcision. We focus on delivering superior cosmetic results while ensuring maximum functional recovery for our patients throughout the Bay Area.

What is Circumcision? An Ancient Procedure in Modern Medicine

Circumcision is defined as the surgical removal of the foreskin. While it has ancient roots in religious and cultural traditions, such as in Judaism and Islam, modern medicine has identified significant preventive health advantages. The procedure is common in newborns, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, but adult circumcision for those aged 10 and older is a specialized field requiring the expertise of an experienced urologist.

Watch Dr. Judson Brandeis explain everything you need to know about the circumcision procedure.

The Medical and Public Health Benefits of Circumcision

Clinical research supports circumcision as a powerful tool for disease prevention. Major health benefits include:

  • Reduced Disease Transmission: Circumcision significantly lowers the risk of HIV transmission.
  • Cancer Prevention: The procedure virtually eliminates the risk of penile cancer.
  • Lower Infection Rates: Circumcised men have a lower incidence of urinary tract infections and several sexually transmitted infections.

Why Men Seek Circumcision Later in Life

While newborn procedures are often elective, adult circumcision in San Ramon is frequently performed to treat specific medical conditions:

  • Phimosis: A condition where the foreskin is too tight to be retracted over the glans.
  • Paraphimosis: A medical emergency where the foreskin becomes trapped behind the glans.
  • Chronic Inflammation: Recurrent balanitis or inflammation of the glans.
  • Condyloma: The presence of genital warts that may necessitate removal of the affected skin.
  • Tight Frenulum: A high-riding frenulum can cause painful curvature during erections and may be surgically “taken down” during the procedure.

The Clinical Goal: Aesthetics and Function

At BrandeisMD, the goal of circumcision is a balanced, high-quality cosmetic result paired with functional excellence. Dr. Brandeis prioritizes:

  • Optimal Skin Removal: Adequate removal of both inner and outer foreskin layers while maintaining enough skin to prevent scrotal pulling during an erection.
  • Glans Protection: Exposing the glans sufficiently to prevent future phimosis while sometimes leaving slight extra skin to cover the corona to maintain sensitivity.
  • Safety: Ensuring minimal bleeding and a zero-infection environment.

Advanced Surgical Techniques at BrandeisMD

Dr. Brandeis performs circumcisions using advanced local anesthesia protocols in our private San Ramon office. Patients remain comfortable, lying on a medical table and relaxing during the procedure.

  • Local Anesthesia: Numbing medication is injected at the penile base (penile ring block) for total comfort without the risks of general anesthesia.
  • Precision Excision: The excess foreskin is removed using a clamp and scalpel.
  • Closure: Dr. Brandeis uses a combination of absorbable sutures for clean edges and better healing.

Comprehensive Post-Operative Care and Recovery

A successful surgical outcome in Northern California depends on diligent post-operative care.

Watch Dr. Judson Brandeis discuss the recovery process and post-operative instructions.
  • Initial Phase: Compressive wraps remain in place for two days, after which patients may shower and reapply a fresh dressing.
  • Activity: Sedentary activities can be resumed immediately, but strenuous exercise should be avoided if it causes discomfort.
  • Prohibitions: No swimming or beach trips for two weeks.
  • The 8-Week Rule: No sexual activity or masturbation is permitted for six weeks after the procedure to allow the incision to fully heal.
  • Healing Timeline: Sutures typically absorb within 1-2 weeks. Patients are usually fully healed within one month.

Safety, Complications, and Risk Mitigation

While circumcision is a safe procedure with minimal side effects, Dr. Brandeis monitors all patients closely for rare complications:

  • Sensitivity: A potential mild loss of sensation is a controversial and difficult-to-measure risk.
  • Discomfort: Some men experience pain with nocturnal erections for the first week, which typically resolves on its own.
  • Rare Risks: These include bleeding, infection, urinary retention, or sutures pulling apart. BrandeisMD offers a check-in where patients can come in to be checked during healing.

Todo Sobre la Testosterona: Guía del Dr. Judson Brandeis

TODO SOBRE LA TESTOSTERONA

Guía del Dr. Judson Brandeis para hombres de todas las edades

01 INTRODUCCIÓN

¿Se siente viejo, cansado, débil o menos varonil? Es posible que su testosterona esté baja. La testosterona es la hormona sexual masculina producida por los testículos, esencial para el desarrollo y las funciones sexuales normales del hombre. Los niveles son bajos durante la infancia, pero aumentan drásticamente durante la pubertad para ayudar a desarrollar vello facial, una voz más profunda y fuerza muscular. Los hombres también necesitan testosterona para producir esperma.

Los niveles de testosterona alcanzan su punto máximo a los 20 años y luego disminuyen aproximadamente entre un 1% y un 2% anual; por ello, los hombres mayores suelen tener niveles bajos en la sangre.

02 TESTOSTERONA BAJA (LOW-T)

El Síndrome de Deficiencia de Testosterona (TD) o “Low-T” se identifica, según la Asociación Americana de Urología (AUA), cuando los niveles en sangre son inferiores a 300 nanogramos por decilitro (ng/dL).

Síntomas comunes:

  • Reducción del deseo sexual.
  • Disfunción eréctil.
  • Pérdida de masa muscular magra y fuerza física.
  • Fatiga constante y bajos niveles de energía.
  • Obesidad (sobrepeso).
  • Síntomas de depresión.
  • Dificultad de enfoque, memoria a corto plazo o para encontrar palabras.

03 CAUSAS Y DIAGNÓSTICO

Otras razones para estos síntomas pueden ser el uso de opioides, daño a los testículos, problemas de tiroides, falta de sueño o diabetes. No se recomienda el reemplazo de testosterona hasta que un médico descarte estos problemas.

Factores de riesgo:

  • Obesidad: El 30% de los hombres con sobrepeso tienen niveles bajos, frente al 6.4% con peso normal.
  • Diabetes: El 24.5% de los hombres diabéticos presentan deficiencia.

La única forma de confirmarlo es mediante un análisis de sangre. El valor más importante es el nivel de testosterona libre, ya que el 98-99% de la testosterona total está ligada a proteínas (albúmina y SHBG) que impiden su activación en el cuerpo.

04 HORMONAS Y EL CEREBRO

La glándula pituitaria produce dos hormonas clave para los testículos:

  • Hormona Luteinizante (LH): Controla cuánta testosterona se produce.
  • Hormona Estimulante del Folículo (FSH): Indica a los testículos que produzcan esperma.

Testosterona vs. Estrógeno: Tanto hombres como mujeres tienen ambas hormonas. En hombres con niveles altos de testosterona, una parte se convierte en estrógeno. El estrógeno (estradiol) es vital para la densidad ósea, el deseo sexual y evitar el aumento de grasa.

05 ¿CÓMO SE TOMA LA TESTOSTERONA?

No existe una píldora de testosterona eficaz. Se debe administrar por otras vías:

  • Inyecciones: Se administran semanalmente en el músculo.
  • Transdérmica: Geles, cremas o parches fáciles de aplicar.
  • Bucal: Un parche que se coloca sobre la encía.
  • Intranasal: Un gel que se aplica en las fosas nasales tres veces al día.
  • Pellets (Implantes): Pequeños cilindros insertados bajo la piel que duran de 4 a 6 meses.

06 EFECTOS SECUNDARIOS Y PRECAUCIONES

  • Fertilidad: El tratamiento puede interrumpir la producción de esperma.
  • Piel: Puede causar piel grasa o acné.
  • Sangre: Puede elevar el conteo de glóbulos rojos (eritrocitosis).
  • Mitos: No hay evidencia de vínculo con el cáncer de próstata.

07 OPCIONES NATURALES Y CLOMID

Suplementos como Ashwagandha, DHEA, Zinc y Magnesio, y DIM pueden ayudar a mantener niveles saludables. Clomid es una píldora diaria que estimula la producción propia del cuerpo y preserva la fertilidad.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much does adult circumcision cost without insurance at BrandeisMD?

The self-pay price for adult circumcision at BrandeisMD is $3,500. This is an all-inclusive flat fee — there are no separate consultation charges, facility fees, or follow-up costs.

What is included in the $3,500 self-pay price?

The $3,500 fee includes the initial consultation with Dr. Brandeis, the circumcision procedure itself performed in-office under local anesthesia, and all follow-up visits through full recovery. Because the procedure is performed in our San Ramon office rather than a hospital or surgical center, patients avoid the layered billing — separate surgeon, facility, and anesthesia charges — that can push hospital-based circumcision costs significantly higher.

Is the consultation included in the procedure price?

Yes. The consultation and the procedure are both included in the single $3,500 fee and are typically completed in the same visit. There is no separate consultation charge.

What are the primary health benefits of circumcision?

Circumcision reduces the risk of HIV transmission, helps prevent certain sexually transmitted infections, reduces the risk of urinary tract infections, and virtually eliminates the risk of penile cancer.

Is adult circumcision painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so the surgery itself is painless. Post-operatively, you may feel mild discomfort, particularly with nocturnal erections during the first week.

How long is the recovery period before I can resume sexual activity?

You must wait eight weeks before engaging in any form of sexual activity or masturbation to ensure the surgical site has fully healed.

Will circumcision help with phimosis or a tight frenulum?

Yes. Circumcision is the primary treatment for phimosis. Additionally, a high-riding frenulum can be surgically corrected (frenulectomy) during the same procedure to resolve curvature and pain.

Does circumcision increase size?

While circumcision focuses on removing the foreskin and improving health, it does not biologically increase the size of the penis. However, by resolving issues like a tight frenulum that causes curvature, it can sometimes improve the functional appearance of length.
