Okay, as embarrasing as this is, I need to know. I need to get a circumcision for a variety of reasons, none of them cosmetic. Mainly, it's for a painfully tight frenulum and hygiene. However, i don't have support for this from my parents and as such will have to finance the operation myself. How much (roughly) would it cost a healthy 19 year old male (student, with student health insurance from Blue Cross/Blue Shield of California) to get an ordinary, locally anesthetized circumcision to be preformed in a Southern California hospital/doctor's office? Would insurance cover it fully/partially?

Okay, to all those who've replied with "DON'T DO IT!" messages, trust me, I'm not exactly keen on this. But I got two opinions, one from a GP and one from a urologist both saying I can go on for a while without it done, but sooner or later it's gonna have to happen, so better to do it young. So basically, just looking for a $ amount here.

two weeks of not masturbating.... that's how much it'll cost...if you have BCBS... you'll just pay deductable... and it shouldn't be that much..... should almost be out-patient surgery...

Yes, it's possible

Insurance will cover it IF it is necessary and not elective. Does your doctor agree with your reasons? If it is causing the mentioned problems, I think he would recommend the procedure.

Is there no less drastic solution to your problem? Once it's gone, it's gone forever, and there can be a lot of physical and psychological problems from having this done as an adult. Please see a urologist and ask for other options!

Wow, Thanks! Just what I was looking for. I looked for the answer on the internet but I couldn't find them.
