Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 28 years old. I have tight foreskin and so thinking about circumcision. Please tell me about the complications about this procedure. Will it affect my sexual life in any way?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

    If done properly, then circumcision is a very safe procedure with hardly any complications. Absolutely, there is no adverse effect on your sexual life. Postoperative pain will be there for a few days, which can be easily managed with analgesics. Very rarely, there can be bleeding after circumcision, which may require re-exploration. Generally, if done by a person with expertise, this procedure is very safe.
