Can you get circumcised in adulthood?
Dr Suks Minhas, Consultant Andrologist and Urologist and renown male fertility expert says circumcision is possible in adulthood and occurs mainly for conditions in which the foreskin becomes tight and painful but rarely for religious and social reasons.
Transcript
Men, often in adulthood, can get circumcised. Very rarely for religious reasons, but most reasons are for pathological problems, or phimosis, or narrowing of the foreskin. Usually, narrowing of the foreskin occurs with a condition called lichen sclerosus, or balanitis xerotica obliterans. And so, often, men need circumcision to relieve the discomfort or pain they get during an erection, or find it more easier to clean behind the foreskin.
