Who you ask for and how would you have it done?

I had phimosis when young, my prepuce is a little redundant but no specific issues for that so far. My urologist each examination when she inspect the glans and frenulum ask me when I would find the courage to have it done... This arouse me and make me wonder to have her do it in the future.

So how would I have it done?

Who: I would ask to my urologist.

Where: as outpatient procedure

How: resection sleeve using forceps and scalpel for a neat high and thight circumcision with frenectomy (this is how she described the procedure).

For the uncut male patients in the forum: I would like to know from you how would you have it done if you decide for that in the future?

I wouldn't, but in case I had to, I would probably go to the urologist and have them resolve the issue by taking out as little as possible. High style to preserve inner skin and definitely not too tight.

Knock on wood - I don't have any problems down there at all - but I think the most likely issue I could face would be something with my frenulum, and there are ways to deal with that without a full circumcision.

If it was necessary, I would discuss it with my urologist and get her recommendations, then research each completely before deciding. More than likely having as little as possible removed, leaving things open should further treatment is needed. Always go from the simplest to the more complex. I did this when I was found to have a relatively mild case of BPH. Instead of the full TURP with all its problems, I went with a Urolift. If problems arise in the future, the TURP is still an option.

There is also a fundamental difference in how physicians in Europe and the United States select treatment options. European physicians tend to propose less invasive treatments first, even if they may be less immediately effective. For example, if a patient presents with a phimotic prepuce during a physical examination, steroid creams combined with mechanical stretching are often the preferred initial treatment. Circumcision is typically recommended only if non-surgical options fail.

American physicians, on the other hand, are more likely to recommend circumcision even in cases of mild phimosis, as it is a quick and highly effective option that also offers additional hygienic benefits for the patient.
