Year-round Circumcision – Why You Don’t Have to Wait for School Holidays or Winter
Many people believe that circumcision should only be done during school holidays or in winter, but waiting for these peak periods can mean longer appointment queues and unnecessary delays. The truth is, circumcision is a quick, safe procedure that can be done at any time of the year, with healing happening just as effectively in any season.
Why Avoid the School Holiday Rush?
- Faster Scheduling & Shorter Wait Times
During school holidays, many parents rush to book circumcision appointments. A lot more walk in to the centre without setting appointments as well, leading to longer wait times. By scheduling outside of peak periods, you can get an appointment sooner and avoid unnecessary delays. - Recovery is Quick, No Matter the Season
Some believe that winter is the best time for healing, but modern medical care ensures that healing is just as effective in any season. With proper post-care, circumcision wounds heal within a few days, and normal activities can resume quickly, regardless of the weather. - Year-Round Health Benefits
Circumcision offers lifelong benefits, including reduced risk of HIV and STIs, improved hygiene, and lower chances of infections. These benefits apply no matter when the procedure is done, so there’s no reason to delay. - More Flexibility in Scheduling
Outside of school holidays and winter, appointment slots are more available, meaning you can choose a time that suits you best instead of waiting for a fully booked period. For school goers, you can have the procedure done on a Friday and be ready to go back to school on Monday – just avoid heavy activities for the first five days!

Circumcision is a Year-Round Decision
There’s no “best” time for circumcision—only the time that works for you. Healing is not limited to winter, and with modern techniques, recovery is fast and effective throughout the year. Whether it’s at the start of the year, mid-term, or any other time, circumcision is always an option, and you don’t have to wait.
