Adult Circumcision Doctor NYC

The Why of Adult Circumcision

Phimosis is a medical condition where the uncircumcised foreskin of the penis cannot fully retract. With Phimosis the foreskin grows over the end of the penis causing painful sexual intercourse and painful urination. Studies have shown that Phimosis can become a risk factor for cancer of the penis. The only way to correct this condition is to undergo adult circumcision. This subject can be embarrassing for some men, which causes them to delay consulting with their urologist.

With circumcision the foreskin covering the penis head is removed surgically as an outpatient procedure. Phimosis is the most common reason for consideration of an adult circumcision; often the risk is higher in men with diabetes. Poor hygiene can also be a contributing factor, due to a narrowing of the foreskin. To determine the best course of action your urologist must do a thorough examination first, and then discuss the options with you.

Adults can develop recurrent infections of an uncircumcised foreskin. Usually the infection can be treated with medication, but there are times when the foreskin becomes so damaged that circumcision becomes necessary.

Health Benefits of Circumcision

Circumcision makes it so much easier for you to wash the penis, and this will decrease the incidents of urinary tract infections. When there is a decrease in urinary tract infections it helps to prevent an inflammation of the penis and lowers the risk of cancer of the penis. Studies have shown that circumcised men also have a lower rate of developing and spreading sexually transmitted diseases.

If you are an uncircumcised adult and you are considering the pros and cons of circumcision, contact us today to schedule an appointment with the best urologist in NYC to discuss your concerns and obtain advice concerning this important decision.
