What is Circumcision?
Circumcision is a procedure that involves removing the foreskin of the penis, the loose skin covering the head of the penis. This practice is mainly performed by doctors on newborns. Indeed, at this age, uncircumcised individuals have the freedom to choose whether or not they wish to undergo this procedure. Although some may choose circumcision for reasons such as aesthetics, hygiene or religion, others may consider it necessary for a variety of medical reasons.
Presumed Advantages
While it is rare for a medical condition to require circumcision, this procedure can improve the severity and frequency of certain symptoms. Here are some reasons why an adult might consider circumcision:
Reduced Risk of Certain Diseases
Circumcision may reduce the chances of developing penile cancer, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). However, studies on risk reduction have been conducted on entire groups of people, not on specific individuals.
Personal, Cultural, or Religious Reasons
Many different cultures and religions have hygiene rules that suggest or require circumcision. Therefore, the idea of converting to a new religion may include the idea of being circumcised. Some may opt for circumcision simply because they prefer the aesthetics of a circumcised penis.
Phimosis and Paraphimosis
Phimosis occurs when the foreskin becomes too tight, and a person cannot pull it back over the head of the penis. Paraphimosis is a similar condition that occurs when the foreskin becomes trapped after being pulled back behind the tip of the penis. Both conditions can be painful, impair sexual function, and facilitate the development of harmful infections. Since they involve the foreskin, circumcision can be a way to prevent these conditions from recurring. In very severe cases, paraphimosis can be a medical emergency, and a person may need to undergo circumcision to treat it.
Posthitis and Balanoposthitis
Posthitis is an inflammation of the foreskin, while balanoposthitis is an inflammation of the foreskin and the head of the penis. Research suggests that balanoposthitis occurs in approximately 6% of uncircumcised men. If someone frequently suffers from either of these conditions and the symptoms do not improve despite treatment or self-care methods, they may consider undergoing circumcision. This procedure may be considered if treatments and self-care strategies have not been effective in relieving symptoms. If, during sexual intercourse or following an accident, the foreskin were to tear, it is possible that some people may decide to opt for surgery to remove it.

Questions about Adult Circumcision
What is cosmetic circumcision?
Cosmetic circumcision is performed for purely aesthetic reasons. For some men, having a circumcised penis provides a feeling of superior comfort and aesthetics.
Will adult circumcision affect my fertility?
No, there is no evidence that this procedure will affect your fertility by improving or decreasing it.
Will adult circumcision affect my or my partner’s sexual pleasure?
No, there is also no evidence that this procedure will affect your sexual pleasure or that of your partner by improving or decreasing it.
What type of anesthesia will be used during circumcision?
To offer optimal comfort, the surgeon will offer two anesthesia options – a local anesthetic to numb the area or general anesthesia. This procedure can be performed safely using only local anesthesia, based on your preferences and your doctor’s expert advice.
How to prepare for adult circumcision
To ensure adequate preparation, it is essential to inform your doctor of all medications you are currently taking. Your doctor will then provide you with precise instructions on which medications to stop taking before the procedure. It is also important to carefully follow the recommendations regarding food and drink before the procedure.
What to expect during and after adult circumcision?
Circumcision is a minor and safe operation that takes between thirty minutes and an hour. For most patients, it causes no pain. During the procedure, you will either be asleep or the area will be locally anesthetized. If you experience any discomfort afterwards, this can be managed with over-the-counter medications such as acetaminophen. Consider asking someone to accompany you home, as you may experience some effects of the anesthesia such as drowsiness. Fine absorbable sutures are used to close the circumcision once the foreskin has been removed. These usually dissolve within two weeks.
How is adult circumcision performed?
When circumcision is performed on older boys and adults, an incision is made around the base of the foreskin. Then, the foreskin is gently removed from the end of the penis before being cut. To finish, the edges of the skin are closed with sutures where the foreskin was previously located.
What instruments are involved in adult circumcision?
A sharp instrument is used to cut the foreskin, sutures are used to close the edges, and various other instruments are used to administer the chosen anesthesia.
What medications are involved in adult circumcision?
General or local anesthesia.
Potential drug interactions with adult circumcision
To ensure your safety during the operation, it is essential to consult your doctor and inform them of all medications you are currently taking. Some of them could interact with the chosen anesthesia. If you are taking anticoagulants, such as warfarin, clopidogrel or aspirin, your doctor may ask you to stop taking them a few days before the procedure.
What does adult circumcision do to my body?
The procedure removes the foreskin from the end of the penis.
What is the typical recovery time with adult circumcision?
Recovery from a circumcision is short. Transforming the text into French will not be a difficult task because the feeling of discomfort is rather minimal and healing usually occurs between 7 and 10 days. In addition, our patients can resume normal sexual activity after only two weeks, once the sutures have completely disappeared.
When can I return to work or school after adult circumcision?
Nothing better than being able to quickly return to work or school after the procedure, as any discomfort is minor and easily relieved by over-the-counter pain relievers.
What are the potential risks or complications of adult circumcision?
For a successful circumcision, it is important to consider the potential risks, as with any surgical procedure. However, it is reassuring to know that these risks are low and can be easily minimized. Sometimes scars may appear, but fortunately, plastic surgery techniques can significantly reduce them. If any complications arise, it is reassuring to know that they can generally be managed and resolved effectively.
What are the potential rewards or benefits of adult circumcision?
Circumcision has many health benefits, such as better hygiene, reduced risk of urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases, and a reduced risk of penile cancer. However, these benefits are controversial and your urologist will guide you in assessing the potential benefits and risks.
