What are the potential downsides of circumcision?

Patient's question:

Every time I have sex with my girlfriend, I can't get erect, feeling like it's very difficult to have sex. I don't have the virility of a man. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said my foreskin is too long and I need to have it cut. However, some friends told me that it's not possible to have it cut, and it would be even worse if it is.

Doctor's answer:

Circumcision is beneficial in no way. Circumcision not only promotes the normal development of the penis but also prevents the accumulation of smegma, effectively preventing the recurrence of inflammation and cancer. This can prevent harm to oneself while also protecting sexual partners from infections of gynecological diseases, making it an excellent measure for reproductive system regulation. If one were to say there are downsides to circumcision, then initially, there may be some discomfort in the wound for the first few days after surgery. Some people worry that it may affect sexual function post-surgery, but this concern is unnecessary.
