Introduction
Can you get circumcision done at any age? Yes, you definitely can. Many people have the wrong impression about circumcision due to the misinformation floating around online and in society, which may cause confusion or fear. If you are an adult considering circumcision, you need to know the truth about the procedure as opposed to the rumors. We have exposed the most common myths about adult circumcision below.
Myth 1: Getting circumcised as an adult is more painful than getting circumcised as a baby.
Fact: Whether you are a baby or an adult, anesthesia is always used during circumcision. If you are an adult going under circumcision, don’t worry, your doctor will use anesthesia to make the procedure painless and safe.
Myth 2: Circumcision will lead to problems in erections.
Fact: Circumcision does not affect erections in a bad way. If you are facing painful erections due to phimosis or tight frenulum, it will only get better.
Myth 3: Circumcision causes infertility
Fact: Circumcision does not affect fertility in any way.
Myth 4: It takes a lot of time to recover after circumcision.
Fact: It is completely healed over a period of one month.
Myth 5: People can continue to have sex immediately after circumcision.
Fact: Sexual activity can be resumed after the healing takes place.
Myth 6: Problems with infant circumcision cannot be repaired when you are an adult.
Fact: Circumcision revisions are common. These procedures are usually done due to poor healing, uneven scar or excess foreskin that was not removed during the previous circumcision.
Myth 7: Circumcision results in less sexual enjoyment and decreased sensation.
Fact: Many studies have shown that it is not true. Circumcised men have reported increased sexual enjoyment as measured by sex drive, sensitivity and ejaculatory function.
Myth 8: Conventional methods of circumcision are far superior to Laser circumcision.
Fact: Laser circumcision is a great option as they have advantages over conventional techniques in certain circumstances. It has benefits such as early recovery, less blood loss and minimum dressing. However, the doctor may suggest conventional circumcision to a few patients depending on their overall health.
Deciding to get circumcised is not easy as it involves such an important organ of your body. Do your research and do believe in the facts behind the myths before starting your circumcision treatment.
