Circumcision?

Question

Im 16 and uncircumsized, I have phimosis and blah blah but the point is Im probably looking at a circumsision to fix this. Has anyone else had this done at arround this age?, I kno that they slice etc. but how bad is it? and what is the exact result as opposed to having a foreskin, I kno what it looks like but what is it actualy like?

Answer 1

Ask the doctor to explain all the options for you. Circumcision is usually not necessary for phimosis, and you should avoid it if at all possible. There is probably a much less drastic choice that will do the job just fine and enable you to keep all your man parts.

Answer 2

I've had Herpes problem over 3 years. I tried everything, of course I went to the DR. about a hundred times, probably not that many, but it sure seems like it. It never did any good for long and caused all kinds of other issues having to do with taking too many antibiotics. It wasn't until I stumbled upon the information on this site http://herpestreatment.kyma.info that my life changed completely.
I'm feeling so much better now and all of my symptoms are totally gone. I haven't had an outbreak since using that info. Best news: It works even if you’ve already blown hundreds or even thousands of dollars on conventional herpes medication without significant relief…even if you’ve been suffering from herpes for years, and even if your virus is currently in hiding and your doctor claims nothing can reach it.

I know it can work miracles for you if you just let it. See more: Shocking video reveals why Herpes/Cold Sores meds are dangerous

Circumcision as an older male is painful, but it is possible to have it done. Your penis not having a foreskin is actually more sanitary and the foreskin is actually just a covering cap for the penis head

As a man when it comes to sexual activity the foreskin prevents semenal fluids from releasing prematurly.

What you need to watch for is a possible evulsion or large tearing of the penis head around where the foreskin was, and also infection from the cut. Evulsion of the penis from circumcision is rare but it has been known to happen.

Circumcision is often done as a child unless the parents feel their son doesn't need it.

Men who have entered the Jewish faith sometimes do this as a sign of cleanliness to Jehovah.

Hope this helps

CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner and several research bodies have concluded that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV or herpes.

Uncircumcised penises are difficult to keep clean, and more prone to infections and penile cancer, studies have shown.
A circumcised penis is naturally clean and virtually free from urinary infection. You will not have to worry again with careful washing of your penis.

About STD's:

As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have concluded that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. Circumcised men have been proved to be up to seven times less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://icuxbridge.icnetwork.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=14095142&method=full&siteid=53340&headline=-circumcision-protects-against-aids--name_page.html

As for women, studies also show that circumcision also protects female partners from AIDS-HIV and other STD's. Browse this article: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/02_08_06.html

About sensitivity of a circumcised penis:

No medical or physiological study has proved that circumcision reduces sensitivity, opposed to common belief. It is completely FALSE that circumcision reduces penis sensitivity. The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) confirms this on their web site; have a look at: http://www.aap.org/pubed/zzzjzmemh4c.htm

Circumcision is an easy and nowadays *painless* procedure, which has many benefits, and virtually no risks.
Circumcision is NOT an amputation. Circumcision is NOT comparable at all to female circumcision, which is something completely different.

Circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African and South American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.

Finally, this site has a lot of useful and *unbiased* information. Make sure you have a good look: http://www.circinfo.net

Answer 5

well, I'm a woman, so I can't really say what it's like for sure, but I heard that your penis will be much more sensitive, especially at first.I understand there is different procedures availlable. They will use anasthesia if you wish. There's a lot of pros and cons you should really read up on it, before you decide.

Answer 6

I never had circumcision, but have had four kids. Bottom line?

Answer 7

Umm... I heard my cousin did... It was painful he said, when you pee it hurts, and the first few while you will be limping, making it very difficult to walk and pains in the you know where... and when the first few while it hurts because when you walk the fabric touches the head. So im seeing about 1 month of pain... Unable to walk for the first 5 days i guess...

Answer 8

It is a very simple surgery. You be be gave a vasoline type ointment to keep on the spot for a few days. Circumsized is easier to clean and keep clean. As for as sex, there is no difference in the feeling for the male or the female.

Answer 9

you will be fine...on the plus side we are finding out now that being circumcised cuts down on the risk of STD's like AIDS *bonus*

Answer 10

Make sure they don't take too much skin off, or your future erections could be incredibly painful (for the rest of your life).
