What complications may occur after circumcision? any psychological consequences?

Answer 1

MOTHERS, the feelings of mothers who observed the circumcision of their babies. Go here if you have the courage:
http://www.circumcision.org/mothers.htm
They do not remember the pain when they grow up, but I wonder what kind of neurological damage it does to inflict such severe pain to such a young one!

In the US circumcision started to stop boys from masturbating; they will take much longer to reach the orgasm, and the orgasm will not be as intense, but that will not stop them.
Nowadays the “medical” reasons to circumcision are for Doctors to make MONEY!!!

RELIGION--If God intended boys to not have "skin" He would have made them so.

HYGIENE--Use a new invention, soap and water!!! Women produce much more “smegma”, all kinds of discharges, wetness, and smells; because of physiologic and anatomical reasons, and how would you feel if they cut your vulva lips??? Women, why don’t you answer my question, are you afraid? Baby girls are more likely to get urinary tract infections and no one suggests we surgically alter them at birth to reduce the risks! Just one of many double standards and laws that always treat men worse.

MEDICAL REASONS--No medical reasons. A extremely small chance of a complication do not justify the removal of the foreskin, if so, why don't we remove the tonsils and the appendix when a child is born, and the chance of complications of the tonsils and the appendix is much greater. And for infections of all the organs, including female organs, use a new invention called antibiotics. Talking about complications, in fact many baby boys die each year from circumcision and related complications.
EVEN if phimosis occurs, instead of chopping it off like barbarians!, use Conservative Treatments like:
-Topical Medication(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Dilation and Stretching(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Combination treatment(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Preputioplasty is the medical term for plastic surgery of the prepuce or foreskin(many methods).

And now they invented a new reason to make money, the risk of STD in uncircumcised men. Well actually uncircumcised men have more protection, but in practical terms that protection means nothing, because circumcised or not, if you have sex without protection and your partner have an STD you will be infected FOR SURE! That means, it is just one more stupid and desperate reason in order to make money with circumcisions.

SEX--Foreskin actually enhances the sexual experience for men because it constantly moves over the head of the penis causing more friction and pleasure. Men will also lose much sensitivity to the glans if circumcised.
Circunsized men will have to deal with disconfot and dry glans.
The foreskin have those functions: protective, erogenous, sensory, and sexual physiologic. After all, why would you want to lose all of those “Meissner corpuscles”, the same nerve complexes which provide fine touch to the fingertips?
It is there for many reasons, that is how a man should be(it is natural).
If women like it better circumcised because it looks better(strange, not natural) or gives them more sexual pleasure(strange, not natural), then too bad, they do not have the right! All men do not like mutilated vulvas, and all men like breasts with nipples, they do not like mutilated breasts, etc, etc, etc, because that is the way those organs are supposed to be, it is natural. Interesting, isn’t?!!!

If that was a common practice to do that to baby girls, all the women would be in a big uproar about it(and men too!, men are not like women), but it’s ok to mutilate little boys. The great majority of the ones that agree with circumcision are women for their stupid selfish reasons. Even court cases reported in which mother and father fight because the mother wants to mutilate the son, it is always the mother!. You women should be ashamed to that to your son. Men that are not circumcised, will not get circumcised when adults, they would scream, kick, fight and run, if someone tries to mutilate their privates area, just like you women would run too if someone tried to do that to your labia. Men that where circumcised do not realize what they lost because never had one, and most of them that do realize try to justify it so they do not feel bad about it. Many circumcised men feel very bad emotionally because of what was done to them to such a private area.
It is mutilation of defenceless children in the most private spot, genital mutilation.
It is cruel and barbaric.
It is a human rights violation.
It is not the parent’s decision; it is the parents decision if they want to abuse him, rape him, or to kill him?.
I do not even agree that it is ok if an adult man wants to get circumcised. I think it is wrong, because if a man wants to lose a finger, the Doctor can not do that to him. Think about it, think, think. And by the way, adult men that decide to get circumcised, do it because they know most women like it, they just do it to be more accepted by women.
I think it is just like slavery and all other barbaric acts of the past, it was accepted because it was common practice or tradition, everyone accepted slavery without questioning the facts, but it is not accepted anymore in a modern and fair and civilized society. Circumcision must not be allowed, BY LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

While the risks of circumcision-related complications are very low, the complications resulting from a poorly carried out circumcision, post-operative bleeding, or infection can be catastrophic. Bleeding and infection are the most common complications of the procedure, according to the AMA, although in the majority of cases, bleeding is minor and hemostasis can be achieved by pressure application.Longer term complications include infections, urinary fistulas, meatal stenosis, ulceration of the glans, removal of too much tissue, and secondary phimosis. Infant circumcision may cause problems such as skin bridges, when the cut skin does not heal neatly but attaches to the glans penis instead. This does not commonly require surgical correction; rather, a brief, simple, office procedure may be performed. Meatal stenosis may be the most common longer-term complication from circumcision.

Psychological consequences -Much attention has been given to the emotional impact of female genital cutting but the emotional impact of male circumcision is mostly ignored. Issues about the rights of the child are often overlooked, and so is the possibility that circumcision may cause emotional and physical harm to males.There are even some organizations that have been created as support groups for circumcised men who are upset with their status. In the USA, the majority of neonatal circumcisions are performed without anaesthesia. Several studies suggest that circumcised infants do not forget the pain during circumcision easily, as a correlation between circumcision with ineffective anaesthesia and intensity of pain response during vaccination months later has been noted.

Answer 3

Most complications arise in infant circumcision because it's hard to predict the exact outcome with some methods used. The most common complications include excessive bleeding and local infection (which is frequent enough to defeat the purpose of circumcising to "protect" against UTIs).

Other common complications include skin bridges where part of the circumcision wound gets stuck and heals to the glans, skin tags remaining from an uneven circumcision, and meatal stenosis where the opening of the urethra gets inflamed and narrows; this may require surgery to correct.

Rare complications include gangrene of the area, severe infections, partial or full amputation of the glans/penis, and death. There's a famous story about a boy whose circumcision went wrong and they decided to turn him into a girl - he committed suicide later in his life.

Adult circumcisions don't often have many complications because it's easier to see and work with. Complications are more person there and often less medical. Psychological consequences depend on the person.

Answer 4

I can tell you that a man not circumcised has an erection one inch longer than he has once circumcised, true, don't know why though. I can't imagine the pain of an adult male circumcision is forgettable. But if he chooses it for aesthetic reasons then I would think this would reduce emotional scarring because it is by choice.

Answer 5

I have had no problems - is this what is effecting you - I have been answer a few of your questions - I have even noticed you have changed your name a couple of times too. First you go bashing Americans - now is the circumcision thing the begining of an anti-Semitic rant too. Wow, is your therapist suggesting that you follow this rather silly path to workout your issues or something - LOL

Answer 6

I circumcised myself and i dont see any complication. Its clean and protected you from harmful desease.
I do it because i like it that way and my girl too!
