Common Medical Reasons Behind Opting For Adult Circumcision

Circumcision is a medical term for the surgical procedure adopted for the removal of the foreskin from the penis. One might opt for circumcision for various medical and non-medical reasons. Medical reasons might include when the foreskin becomes tight, and it is difficult to pull back. Such a condition is known as phimosis. However, considering the non- reasons, several communities, such as the Jewish, Islamic and other African communities, have adopted its practice. However, irrespective of the reason behind opting for the procedure, one needs to consult a circumcision urologist Brooklyn to know the entire procedure in detail, including the method of surgery, the time involved in the entire procedure and the recovery.

What Are The Medical Reasons That Makes A Man Resort To Circumcision?

For men, circumcision offers a potential option for treatment for all the conditions mentioned below:

Phimosis Or Tight Foreskin: 

Sometimes the foreskin is so tight that it can’t be pulled back over the glans or the head of the penis. Such a condition is medically referred to as phimosis which can be treated by circumcision. During an erection, this might cause pain and discomfort. And in rare cases, men might also face difficulty in urinating. 

Paraphimosis:

Paraphimosis is the term for a medical condition of the penis where the foreskin doesn’t go back to its original position once pulled back. This makes the head of the penis vulnerable to infection and causes pain. In circumcision, as the foreskin is completely removed, it tends to relieve such complications. Serious cases need to be operated on or treated immediately so that the flow of blood to the penis is not restricted.

Balanitis:

When the head of the penis or the foreskin gets infected and inflamed, pain and swelling are referred to as balanitis. Balanitis xerotica obliterans is also responsible for causing phimosis and, in some specific cases, might affect the glans to make it inflamed and scarred.

Penile Cancer: 

Although this type of cancer is very infrequent, circumcision can prevent penile cancer, where an ulcer or a small tumor appears on the head of the penis and causes changes in the foreskin, simultaneously resulting in discharge or bleeding.

Final Thoughts:

If one decides to opt for circumcision, it is essential to consult with a urologist and discuss all the possible implications both before and after the procedure of surgery.
