Compared to years ago when the number of uncircumcised men was more in the world, the number of circumcised men today has increased to a far greater number. Adult circumcision surgery is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin of the penis.

Let’s look at some of the pros and cons of having a circumcision as an adult.

Reasons to Opt for Circumcision

There are many reasons an adult male opts for having a circumcision procedure. Many choose it for personal or cosmetic reasons and/or to improve sexual performance. They may find their foreskin interferes during intercourse and reaching climax becomes difficult for both partners.

Some men choose the surgery to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and provide a better environment for genital hygiene.

One of the medical reasons is a condition called ‘paraphimosis’ where the foreskin remains stuck at the back of the penis head. Another is due to a disease called ‘Balanitis’, where the foreskin retracts beyond the tip of the penis and doesn’t go back to the original position. With circumcision surgery, these problems soon fade away.

Some other men opt for the surgery for religious, cultural or social reasons.

Or, a man with a smaller sized penis may decide to have a male enhancement procedure where circumcision is definitely recommended beforehand.

The Pros of Adult Circumcision

Adult circumcision can prevent several medical problems or diseases like Paraphimosis and Balanitis. It can also help reduce the chance of urinary tract infections from occurring. Removing the foreskin of the penis means less chance of bacteria transferring during sex and traveling back up into the tract of the bladder.

Since it reduces the chance of bacterial activity, it can also reduce the risk of HIV transmission. It’s still possible to contract STDs, but some studies show that its less likely if condoms are not used.

Also, you will never have the chance of getting your foreskin stuck in your zipper like poor unlucky Ben Stiller did in the ‘Something About Mary’ movie. That’s a big ouch!

Cons of Adult Circumcision

One of the disadvantages of having a circumcision as an adult is the recovery time. After the surgery your doctor will recommend staying away from strenuous activity for about 4 weeks and sex for 2 weeks.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the procedure is irreversible. Every man is different and some say they have regretted it for one reason or another. But not too many.

It is rare, but there are some instances where surgeons cut the skin too short or too long. This can result in erectile issues.

Since about 30-40% of the skin is snipped off, it may result in an overall reduction in size. Not so much though as to have a negative impact.

If you’re doing it in order to have an enhancement procedure it will only benefit you overall.

It may take a while for your partner to get used to your new circumcised member but they will eventually.

Circumcision has a lot of debate around it. For whatever reasons you choose to have one make sure you do your research for the best urologist to perform the procedure.
