CIRCUMCISION |
|
Circumcision on men and boys
is especially known from the Jewish tradition of the Bar-Mitsva. But
also in the western cultures, people may choose for a circumcision,
either for medical, aesthetic or sexual reasons:
Medical reasons
Circumcision is the standard procedure in case of:
| Phimosis: |
a narrowing of the foreskin, by which the foreskin can’t
be moved over the tip of the penis. Phimosis can be congenital
or can be the result of repeated infections of the foreskin.
Sometimes the doctor can perform a simple incision, which allows
the foreskin to be effectively widened.
|
| Paraphimosis: |
the foreskin is drawn behind the tip and can’t be
moved back over the tip of the penis. Paraphimosis is caused
by repeated inflammation of the foreskin. Here also, apart from
circumcision, a simple incision is often a possibility.
|
| Balanitis: |
repeated inflammation of the tip of the penis and the foreskin. |
Esthetic
/ Sexual Reasons
Enhanced appearance: |
Some men, but also women, find a circumcised penis more attractive.
For gentlemen who choose for a circumcision on this aesthetic
principal ground, often hygienic and sexual reasons play also
their part. |
Hygienic: |
A circumcised penis produces hardly any smegma and therefore
is easier to keep clean. |
Sexual experience: |
Although studies claim that a short foreskin have no influence
on the sexual experience, most men say that the tip of the penis
became considerable less sensible. This can have advantages
in the sex life. |
Early ejaculations: |
A circumcision offers no guarantee, but a less sensible tip
of the penis sometimes helps solve this problem. |
Longer sex: |
A less sensible tip may allow sex during a longer period.
|
A too long foreskin: |
a too long foreskin can lead to reduced stimulation of the
tip of the penis during sexual intercourse. |
TREATMENT
The circumcision mostly is performed under local anaesthesia,
but it’s also possible under intravenous sedation. During the
operation the foreskin is shortened and the tip of the penis is exposed
partly or even entirely.A circumcision takes about half an hour. The
most sensible part of skin immediately behind the tip of the penis is
not removed, as it plays a very important part in erogenic sensation.
After one or two hours the intravenous sedation and the
local anesthetic wears off and the sensation in the penis returns.
AFTERCARE
After a circumcision you better rest for a few days.
The penis will be swollen and will show purple discoloration.
Passing urine may give rise to a burning sensation the
first few days after surgery. We advise you to change the bandage, every
time after urinating, during the first three days after the operation.
After that, you have to bath in tepid clear water, without soap.
We advise you to wear supporting pants (no shorts) with
the penis upwards, in the direction of the navel, to allow the swelling
to subside as quickly as possible.
For pain you can take paracetamol or bring on a sedating lidocaine cream
or ointment. After a few weeks the epidermis will have formed a protective
layer on the tip of the penis and the unpleasantly sensitive feeling
disappears.
After three to four weeks swimming and sporting is possible
again.
The stitches are dissolvable within 7 to 14 days. After
four to six weeks sexual intercourse and masturbation are possible again.
