ABOUT US
Over the years we have received messages from thousands of men, and it is clear that circumcision should be a last medical resort, especially as there are viable non-surgical solutions to the majority of foreskin conditions.
If you have been negatively affected by circumcision, you can check our circumcision advice section. Many doctors are still outdated on current best practice.
If you seek more information as a parent or intact man then you can check our intact section. This is where you will find information on common issues such as phimosis, a condition that is over-diagnosed and often treatable with non-invasive measures.
You can request our booklets of information Alternatives to circumcision and Clinical guidelines for the management of phimosis as well as a fact sheet on the management of a foreskin condition known as Lichen Sclerosus/BXO. By using our contact form.
If you need specialised information or you would like to share your experiences with us then feel free to contact us.
WHAT WE DO
- Advise on medical issues such as phimosis (and other problems affecting the foreskin), and techniques for foreskin restoration and help with psychological issues arising from circumcision.
- Work with professional bodies to ensure that they have all the information they need to formulate objective clinical guidelines and policies.
- Promote further research into the effects of circumcision on sexual function and sexual response.
- Ensure that medical practitioners are aware of the damage caused by circumcision and what alternative treatments are available.
- Hold to account medical professionals and institutions that give improper information to their patients.
- Work with groups who question circumcision within religious communities.
- To ensure that patients, parents and carers are given impartial information to encourage fully informed consent concerning circumcision.
- We support student placements and work closely with Keele University, the latest intern placements at 15 Square have been a great success.
