Patient's question:
Does circumcision affect pleasure and complications? I saw in the circumcision forum that some sensitive nerves are removed from the foreskin, which increases pleasure, but it looks very bad, and some people regret it. I want to know if circumcision affects pleasure and complications?Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to understand what constitutes phimosis or paraphimosis. Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans penis, and the glans cannot naturally protrude. However, during washing, sexual intercourse, or masturbation, the foreskin can be retracted, allowing the glans to be exposed. Paraphimosis, on the other hand, refers to a condition where the foreskin opening is too small, preventing the foreskin from naturally retracting to reveal the glans. Manual retraction may cause pain. If the glans still cannot be exposed after puberty, it is considered paraphimosis. If phimosis or paraphimosis affects your sexual life, and if it does not impact your sexual life, there is no need for treatment. Simply maintaining good hygiene for the glans and foreskin is sufficient. However, if it affects your sexual life or if you frequently experience conditions such as balanitis, posthitis, or urinary tract infections, surgery may be necessary.
