Understanding Male Genital and Reproductive Health
Male genital and reproductive conditions cover a wide spectrum of issues affecting men at any stage of life, including:
- Congenital conditions requiring surgical correction
- Acquired problems causing discomfort or fertility concerns
- Elective procedures for family planning
Common symptoms prompting specialist care include scrotal swelling, testicular pain, foreskin difficulties, or desire for permanent contraception.
Mr Khan provides a confidential, judgment-free environment, ensuring patients can discuss concerns openly. His extensive expertise across urology ensures access to the most appropriate, personalised treatment options, restoring confidence and improving overall quality of life.
Vasectomy: Effective Permanent Contraception
Vasectomy is a safe and highly effective form of permanent male contraception. It involves cutting and sealing the vas deferens to prevent sperm reaching semen, with a success rate exceeding 99%.
- Performed under local anaesthetic as an outpatient procedure
- Duration: approximately 15–20 minutes
- Mild discomfort, with desk-based work possible within days
- Full recovery: usually within one week
Pre-procedure counselling ensures patients understand its permanent nature, and semen testing confirms success post-procedure. Mr Khan’s meticulous technique and guidance ensure optimal outcomes and satisfaction.
Circumcision: Medical and Personal Reasons
Circumcision removes the foreskin covering the head of the penis, for medical, religious, cultural, or personal reasons. Medical indications include:
- Phimosis (tight foreskin)
- Recurrent balanitis or urinary tract infections
- Lichen sclerosus
Mr Khan performs adult circumcision with refined surgical techniques that prioritise cosmetic and functional results. Procedures are performed under general anaesthetic as a day case, ensuring minimal scarring and optimal healing.
Recovery: 2–3 weeks, with detailed post-operative care instructions provided.
Hydrocele Treatment: Relief from Scrotal Swelling
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled swelling around the testicles, causing discomfort, heaviness, or cosmetic concerns. Surgical repair (hydrocelectomy) involves:
- Day-case surgery under general anaesthetic
- Small incision in scrotum or lower abdomen
- Removal or repositioning of the fluid-filled sac
Most patients experience immediate symptom relief and full recovery within weeks. Mr Khan ensures minimal recurrence and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
Varicocele Surgery and Removal of Varicocele Coils
Varicoceles are enlarged scrotal veins that may cause pain, testicular atrophy, or fertility issues. Treatment includes:
- Laparoscopic or robotic varicocelectomy
- Minimally invasive approach: smaller scars, less pain, faster recovery
- Varicocele coil removal for recurrent or post-embolisation cases
Fertility improvements are often observed, and Mr Khan collaborates with fertility specialists when required.
Epididymal Cyst Surgery: Treating Scrotal Lumps
Epididymal cysts (spermatoceles) are benign fluid-filled swellings in the epididymis. Surgical removal is performed under general anaesthetic using microsurgical techniques, preserving testicular blood supply and fertility potential.
Recovery: 1–2 weeks, avoiding strenuous activity. Patients experience relief and reassurance post-surgery.
