Circumcision for medical reason other than phimosis?

Anybody circumcised here for a medical reason other than phimosis?

Mine was due to a combination of balanitis and hygiene reasons, though those were played up to at least some extent because I wanted circumcised and needed insurance to cover it. I did have phimosis as a kid but being both scared of surgery at the time and not having actually understood what the results would be, I forcibly retracted my foreskin to avoid it.

More than 20 years of suffering recurrent thrush that often progressed to balanitis and UTIs. Fungal creams lost their efficacy and ended up making it worse, topical steroid cream shortened recovery by one day. Was more than pleased to accept the offer of a medical circumcision and move on with my life.

I am never circumcised and will never ever

Circumcision is always recommended for balanitis and posthitis, even when these conditions do not reoccur. Preputial adhesions, if not resolved before a certain age or if they develop later in life, also often requires circumcision. A “redundant prepuce,” a condition in which the foreskin is abnormally long, often necessitates its removal to facilitate normal physiological functions, such as voiding.

Yes, at age 7, due to balanitis caused by an allergy, which caused inflammation.

What about no medical reason? I got snipped at 8 for solely cosmetic reasons.

Mom felt circumcision looked nicer then the elephant trunk I had and well it would be less of a hassle during bath time if i well didn't have a foreskin to worry about.

She told you this?

Wow! How did you feel about this? I would have hit the roof lol. I was annoyed enough when I was told I was going to get it done, and that was after a long period of problems and doctors visits. I can't imagine being told I was being taken just to make it look nicer.

@Testy_Paul_a Indeed. Even though I think my mother appreciated the cleaner aspect I don’t think she would have it done without a medical reason.
