Doctor's answer:

With the development of medical technology, the methods for circumcision surgery are now very mature. Before the surgery, a local anesthetic is injected into the base of the patient's penis, so the patient will not feel any pain during the entire procedure. This greatly reduces the patient's suffering and also makes it easier for the doctor to perform the surgery. To ensure the absolute safety of the surgery and the aesthetic and functional outcomes after the procedure, it is recommended that men with excessive foreskin have the surgery performed at a specialized urological hospital with experienced surgeons.
