What are the circumcision benefits for young men with tears?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am an 18-year-old male. Do I have a potential for circumcision? I have maximum turgid retraction without pain depicted in the first image. Enquiring as to whether a circumcision would benefit, and the possible logistics of such. What would be involved in my particular instance?

What "type" of excision would be most beneficial in terms of the amount of skin removed, and whether the inner or outer prepuce and frenulum is retained? I have a history of frenulum tears, and I am unresponsive to topical creams. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

From your description, it is understood that you have had trauma and tears of the frenulum. I would suggest that I consider circumcision. The standard procedure includes removal of the whole of the prepuce. There are some options, like cosmetic circumcision, where the foreskin on the glans alone is removed.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
