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.

Hello i am 15 years old and have not been able to pull back my foreskin for as long as i can remember. I am unsure what to do because some doctors say that youll grow out of it but i cant even pull it back to see the glans of my penis. Please help, what shall i do about this????

Thanks :)

Hi im 33 and need to be circusised as my forskin is tight and painfull when i pull back to wash and it splits and bleeds afterwards and is sore once dry.

Is it best to have the frenlum removed aswell? as i think its unsightly and i dont get any pleasure from it anyway.

2 weeks 2day is my op daycase and hopefully it may solve my problems with various infections.

So i will let you all know how it went.

I'm 23 and i was circumcised 3 days ago.

I was Bricking it the day before but to be honest i was being a whimp for nothing.
had in done in the day ward..went into theatre at 11am and was home by 1:30pm. i wasn't in any pain when i came round and and not in any pain now (3 days later)

erections are fine…i did too much reading about other peoples experiences and was scared it would hurt. no pain at all when i have a boner.

i have 1 week off work to recover
the swelling has gone down lots. day 3 means i can have a long soak in the bath rather than a shower to dissolve the stitches.

if your thinking of getting your problem sorted then my advice to you is JUST DO IT!! its really not half as bad as people make it out to be.

i like my new penis! ;-)

Hello,

i can pull my foreskin back when it isn't erected, however when it is i can only pull it past the head of my penis is this normal. thanks!

hi had the op 12 days ago due to phimosis (tight foreskin) which split a few months ago and got infected. still looks not very pretty however much better than it did and no pain at all now. anyone who thinks this should be done should go ahead. I am 28 now and have had problems since I have been sexually active (8 or 9 years) wish i had this done earlier

I was circumcised through choice, me and my wife are very pleased with the result. Were very happy, only wise i'd had the minor operation years ago!

Im 16 and i have not been able to pull my foreskin back for as long as i can remember. I went to a docter about 3 years ago and he said that i would grow out of it. But three years on and still have the same problem. So i went to the docter again a couple of weeks ago and then he refered me to a surgeon. The surgeon said that i will need to get a circumcision. But i have been reading on the net that you can get a minor operation that doesnt cut all of your foreskin off, it is called preputial plasty. The foreskin remains but a small cut is made to loosen/widen the foreskin. If anyone has had this done please write back and tell me how it went and if it worked.

Thanks :)

I have ppp on my foreskin and i was wondering if circum would get rid of it, i'm 16 by the way.

i am 45 had a cicum done on thursday the 21st may..pain was acceptable, peeing was a nightmare as it went everywhere! erections are a problem as it hurts to point of screaming, still have some kind of discharge and a small amount of blood visable 9 days later. Cant wear clothes at present but pain is getting better….Looks like a small sausage roll now with lots of pastry…
wife cant wait to have sex as its been seven months with on going problems such as infections… one thing i will say about pain GET SOME HIGH STRENGHT PARACETIMAL TAKE EVERY 4 HOURS OTHERWISE YOU WILL SUFFER AND NOT ON YOUR OWN AS OTHERS WILL HEAR YOU!!!!
