Circumcision during another surgical procedure

Tnx for the link.

I found this account of someone who was circumcised against his will at 20 years old in the Army. He was put under for a tonsillectomy, and woke up without a foreskin:

My experience turned me into an avid anti-circumcisionist, especially since I learned that other methods of therapy. exist for phimosis, etc. My foreskin was fully retractable, and it completely covered the glans with about 1/4" overhang when flaccid. When erect it would retreat behind the corona and leave a lot of play on the shaft with no discomfort whatever. I never felt embarrassed or ashamed about having my foreskin nor did I ever receive any flak from my friends. Even after I entered the Army, an occasional good-natured joke about my foreskin was all I ever heard. At age 20 I was relocated overseas and then my troubles began. I developed tonsillitis, and the medic advised tonsillectomy. I had no objection. I woke up with a sore throat and a sore penis. The medic was standing over me admiring his butchery and said, “While you were under I noticed you hadn't been circumcised, so I gave you a freebie.” I called him a son of a bitch and his reply was, “You ought to thank me. I've made a man out of you.”

It's from a book I scanned in called " Foreskin - A Closer Look" by Bud Berkeley: https://archive.org/details/foreskin-bud-berkeley/page/78/mode/2up

A good book. I've had a copy since many years and it was a real eye-opener. It made me aware of how many docs can be needless avid proselytizers for circumcision and moreover be sneaky about doing it to patients on the sly, without any consent beforehand. Which, if I am not all that mistaken, is quite illegal.

And yet many docs get away with it anyhow. If it were up to me, I would put such cases under sexual abuse legislation and see the docs end up as convicted/registered sex offenders.

I wonder what would happen if they tried such shenanigans with a woman's clitoris hood? Hell to pay I would hope?

It seems that my mother had hesitated before sending me to surgery - her phobia of germs probably played a role, when told about possible infections due to phimosis. But what if she had decided not to do surgery right now, would she have asked later if it could be done during another surgery, for instance when I had my undescended testicle pulled down?

@Jacana why did she hesitate? And how long was it between the surgeries?

I also phimosis and was very painful when tried to retract. The first doctor told me to do the surgery after inspection. I was around 16 and told my teacher I will be on medical leave soon. She then took me to another urologist after checking with parents. The doc advised my parents to try corticosteroid creams before doing surgery. I remember the doc mentioning that there are lot of sensory nerves. I tried it a luckily it worked. I never did circumcision after that.

It didn’t happen to me although there were to opportunities for my penis to get fixed. I had orchiopexy surgery as a six year old in Germany. So while I was already in the OR, legs spread and my right testicle was sewed to my Ball-sac, it would have been easy to also circumcise me. I guess since my parents had stretched my foreskin as a baby with steroid ointment the doctor was satisfied with the mobility of my foreskin.

The second time was for my appendectomy in the US at age 22. This would have been the opportunity to fix me according to the American standard.

From today’s point of view I wouldn’t have blamed my parents if the had demanded I or agreed with my pediatric surgeon to circumcise me and I guess I would have agreed later before my appendectomy to submit to the American standard.

The thought of just being done and not being asked about is a hot phantasy but I don’t know how I would have reacted as a young adult. But being coerced into being cut by the doctors (I was by myself, my family was back in Europe) would probably have worked well.

@Mrssnipgirl Phimosis surgery (circumcision) happened when I was 7, the testicle was pulled down later, but prior to puberty, maybe I was 11?

I'm unsure how much she hesitated (I was not kept in the loop, I was six!) but my impression is that she had to be reassured by the doctors.

I had a tonsillectomy when I was around six, and I suppose my parents could have asked that I be circumcised while I was under, but they did not and I’m glad they left things just the way they were. I would be fine with it too if they had done so, but I love my penis and how it feels today so everything turned out well!

I see @Jacana. I assume there was no sign when you were circumcised that you may need further surgery for your testicles?

A friend of mine decided to have her son circumcised when he was already in hospital for another urogenital procedure (however I cannot remember what specifically), but she waited until they could be combined so he didn’t have to have multiple absences from school for surgery.

I guess it makes sense to combine where possible for recovery

@Mrssnipgirl I guess it was visible that I had only one testicle in the scrotum. Perhaps they thought that was still acceptable at that age?

When my tonsils came out at 6 I was already circumcised.

While I have heard of both being done at the same time I don't personally know of anyone who this happened to.

My father said that in his day the doctor sorted out the foreskins of the boys who had thier tonsils out.

Hello mrsnipgirl could I be friends with you please I’m newish here not sure how to friend you

HEY! Over here @Tightspantyhose on this page click on @Mrssnipgirl s avatar "the picture thing at the left ", Mrssnipgirl's profile opens at the top there is a heading "send friend request," click on this, follow the prompts and send your friend request.

I am not sure if it is in the spirit of this discussion. I had an appendix surgery. My appendix and gallbladder were removed at the same time. The gallbladder extraction was a surprise bonus.

Thank you bad princess
