Can I get a circumcision on the NHS?


In 24, and have nether liked having a 4skin, I think that it is a realy dirty thing, can this be done on the NHS?
Best answer:
Unless you have a specific medical reason for having a circumcision I doubt if your GP would recommend going ahead. I also doubt that any reputable surgeon would do it also.
There are serious risks connected to any kind of surgical intervention and these should not be taken lightly.
The common practice in the UK now is not to circumcise unless it is absolutely necessary.
The foreskin is there for a reason and that is to protect the tip of the penis (the glans) and to provide lubrication during sex. It also maintains the sensitivity of the glans so enhancing the experience of sex and masturbation. Removing the foreskin dulls and deadens the sensation as well as exposing the delicate glans to damage and trauma.
If the foreskin is retracted daily and cleaned daily or even twice daily then there are no hygiene or health problems.
I would suggest that you seem to have some kind of phobia and this is what should be investigated.
