should i go for a circumcision?

Question

i got a very tight foreskin

Answer 1

If you are a teen, a tight foreskin is normal. On many men it doesn't loosen up until age 18 or 19.

If you are older, ask your doctor about your options. Circumcision is not usually recommended for phimosis, and you should get a second opinion if any doctor does recommend it. (Some doctors like to take the easy and profitable way, but it's YOUR body!) It is usually cured by using a hormone cream while stretching the foreskin gently with your fingers.

You do not want to get cut! All the hygiene arguments are myths - if you wash, you're equally clean and odor-free with or without a foreskin. And sex is MUCH better with - for the woman as well as the man.

Answer 2

If the foreskin bothers you that much why not? It can be painful since your older,but some guys think its worth it. It's also a lot cleaner for the foreskin to be removed because smegma collects under the foreskin, which is just nasty! But i'm heard that sex can be more pleasureable without a circumcision. Just go to the doc. and weigh the pros and cons, and then make a decision from there.

Answer 3

YES definitely!


CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner, healthier and several prestigious research institutions have proved that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV, syphilis 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 infections. 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 proved that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. It has been confirmed that circumcised men are up to 70% less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://www.torontodailynews.com/index.php/HealthNews/2006121404Circumcision

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 ever shown 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, Asian and Latin American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.

Answer 4

You can severely damage yourself during an erection if the foreskin is too tight as it can cut blood circulation to the head of the penis or blood flow back down the shaft. Get good medical advice and go to a good surgeon to have it done.

Answer 5

For Phimosis (Sp?), Yes.

Answer 6

you should go to a doctor and ask her
