Adult Freehand Circumcision - David's Journal
After careful consideration and many years of research, I decided to contact Dr. Harold Reed in Florida. I visited the website (www.penisdoctor.com) and filled out the online questionnaire. I immediately received a pleasant response from the doctor himself answering some of my questions and telling me what things I should consider. After so many years on CIRCLIST, I had already considered each item he mentioned, but none the less, it was good of him to give me a bit of homework before my planned visit. I called his office and spoke to Anne to make the appointment in 2 months time. Read More...

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin and is the most commonly performed operation in the world. Some religions require this, and many parents prefer that their boys be circumcised for sanitary reasons.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has stated there is no absolute indication for routine circumcision. However, a study involving 2,500 babies determined that the uncircumcised male is 20 times more likely to develop a urinary tract infection than the circumcised infant. The Academy has modified their statement to say there are potential benefits and risks.
Adult circumcision should be performed with delicate sutures that results in level of healing comparable to a newborn circumcision. Individuals with urethral (urinary channel) defects should postpone circumcision as the foreskin may be used in repair of a congenital defect. |
