Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Adult circumcision: Please get a referral from your primary care doctor to a urologist. Discuss your concerns w/him/her. The surgery is not painful but the healing can be, but it is tolerable. Nocturnal erections may be a bit painful at the stitches but all is manageable. Peace and good health.
