Question 1

i have brown scar on penisnot circumcision scar?

Accepted Answer

Scar is always...: A scar is always the residual sign of skin/tissue healing after cut/injury. So, if not related with circumcision, id you have a pimple-like "boil" before? If concerned, go and see doc timely. But, if not hurting and with no erosion or size increase, it is benign with no need to intervene but personal finicky cosmetic reason.

Question 2

hi. i was circumcised at 17. before that my penis head was pink. after circumcision there are brown skin patches on my penis head. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Nothing : Brownidh discoloration following circumcision, on head of penis, is not uncommon, God which nothing needs to be done. Let your GP look at it at your next physical to have additional peace of mind.

Accepted Answer

Circumcision: Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin, a small flap of skin that covers the tip of the penis, generally performed in the days after birth. Examination of scientific studies between 1995 and now shows links between circumcision and decreased risks for urinary tract infections, some kinds of cancer, hpv, hiv, and other sexually transmitted diseases. There is a preventative effect.

Life Is Uncertain: Can {fill in the blank} go wrong?  Yes, of course.  All procedures have a risk of complications.  Just like there is a risk of having a car accident while driving a familiar route.  Circumcision is a generally safe, easy procedure.  But sometimes the unexpected can happen.

Question 7

what is circumcision revision?

Accepted Answer

Corrective surgery: A circumcision revision is a procedure done after a circumcision (removal of foreskin) to correct a problem with the original procedure.  This can include a cosmetic issue with the appearance or leaving too much of the foreskin behind after circumcision.  It is important to consider whether or not the appearance is truly that bad as another surgery may not always improve the results.

Question 8

circumcision okay at older age?

Accepted Answer

Any age: If foreskin is tight (phimosis) or you change your religion.

Question 9

is circumcision right for boys ?

Accepted Answer

Preventative if any: Circ rates run 0-80% depending on cultural, religious& healthcare practices around the world. The only males with uti's i've treated in 3 decades were uncircumcised & often <2mo old. You'll never have a trapped glans(paraphimosis) or cancer of the removed area. In the end, its more cultural than need.I view it similar to piercing ears but with a few potential health benefits.
