Consultation: Second Adult Circumcision
Second Adult Circumcision is one of the many embarrassing illnesses which men would prefer to suffer in silence with than go and consult their GP about. However, in this repackaged consultation from series one, Dr Christian Jessen explains exactly what it is and what treatment is available to make life more comfortable.

Does getting cicumcised young affect the growth of your penis?
This is quite embarrassing and excuse my ignorance, but the head of the penis seems to be cut all around except for the center. Something happened and it was cut which left a little hole in the center. I can pull some of the foreskin back except for the skin that is in the middle 'cause it is attach. Can I go to the doctor to have the rest of the skin cut around?
Hello everyone, I have been circumcised 5 years ago i am 21 now and i have issues with the sensitivity of the head of my penis. It is very sensitive indeed and i am not sure i will be able to have sexual intercourse. Please help me withe to get rid of the sensitivity plz thank you :-)
I am 14 and I live in cincy Ohio and I get made fun of for being uncercumsized and I always have anxiety it sucks. I think it's because of this problem. I really want to get circumcised to fit in and live my teen life but I would feel reallllllllllly embarassed asking my parents. What should I do?
James...dont be silly man. You dont need to "fit in" with others :) You'll find actually, most boys are uncircumcised. Of course you'll find it embarrassing asking your parents...as well as the pain you'll be in for about 4 weeks after you've had it done. My advice to you mate is keep your foreskin :) You have it for a reason. Don't fall victim to others. You are perfectly normal...let that be the reassurance you need buddy. x
Consider yourself lucky you're not circumcised. I was circumcised for religious reasons and it's given me nothing but trouble. I've had to have two surgeries as an adult just to be able to pee normally and my doctor is suggesting 2-3 more surgeries so I can have sex. I don't have enough skin to have an erection without severe pain. I've been married for almost 5 years and I still have not been able to have sex with my wife. I would kill for the opportunity to undo my circumcision. Also, circumcision rates are going down in the USA. Only 1/3 of American boys are circumcised now. 3/4 of the world's men are not circumcised. So, you're in the majority. Google "circumstitions." They've got a lot good info.
I'm 18 and I'm thinking about having it done but how long us the recovery time?
im circumsized, had it done when i was 2 yr old, does it turn off girls because some little scars are left?
No: most prefer circumcized; it also makes it larger ;}
Circumcision will not make your penis larger. Circumcision makes it smaller because you're taking away from it. If you're in America, girls have probably seen a circumcised penis. If you're in the rest of the world, most women would probably find it odd. If you're concerned about appearance, you could try nonsurgical foreskin restoration. I haven't tried it yet but I hope to start soon. Restoring will hide the scars.
Hello, I'm 15, my mum never said I have to pull back my foreskin... I only realised the other day, I pulled most back but noticed there is a strand of skin attached to the head of the penis and it is stopping me from pulling it fully back, It scares me :/ Please help
Just explain your concern to your mom and ask her to take you to your doctor and he will be able yo help you out. Good luvk
im thirteen that happend to me when i was 12 it will eventualy peel off the head and you will be able to pul it fully back :)
i have recently 2days a go had a circumsion the tip of the penis is sensitive is there any creams that i could get to help this to be pain free from the GP as unable to get pants on i would be greatfull for any advice
The hospitals advice you to use petroleum jelly as this acts as a barrier to the sensitivity. Hope this helps!
my foreskin is to long iv'e got to pullit back to have a pee.my girlfriend wants me to be circumcised, where can i get it done and how much will it cost, i live in newcastle upon tyne.
Hey ya, I have been loking into it myself also and it can cost about 500 quid at a clinic that does only that op luton. Or on nhs but normally has to be a reason for it to get it on nhs. Ie tight or very long 4 skin etc. I would recommend researching the subject throughly as many styles and different methods to consider, which surprised me to be honest, but i'd say just make sure you are sure its what you want, as once its done you cant go back!
Getting circumcised for a girlfriend is a pretty bad excuse for circumcision. She's not willing to be circumcised for you so why would you do it for her? What happens if you break up? If your partner wants you to undergo surgery for no reason, they don't love you that much.
my class mates tease me because im circumcised. i know its nothing to be a shamed off but it puts me down and i dont know what to do
Such silly class mates the quicker you get rid of them the better ;)
School kids always pick on the minority and it could be anything from wearing glasses to having ginger hair to being overweight etc. In your case, I guarantee some of your tormentors are jealous or otherwise unsure that you might have something 'special' that they haven't. Its only teasing and you are right you have nothing to be ashamed of. Ignore them or share the humour.
Why be put down when you have all the benefits... clean, no hair caught in it, one handed peeing and more attractive and therefore potenially more sex. If I were your class mates I'd be lining up for it!!
