When it is advisable to perform circumcision surgery in adulthood
When we talk about circumcision we often refer to the custom practiced by some religions of cutting the frenulum in children .
Male circumcision is, however, also performed at a medical level to address some problems that arise at the penile level. This practice brings, in fact, several benefits and in some cases it is even indispensable for the patient’s health.
Let’s see together when it is appropriate to perform a circumcision surgery in adulthood . What is circumcision and how the surgery takes place
Circumcision is an operation that consists oftotally or partially remove the foreskin , the sliding flap of skin that covers the glans penis. It is a common practice for Jews and for some peoples of Africa, so it has a religious significance. Circumcision in Italy and in the Western world in general is, on the other hand, considered a necessary intervention to solve some health problems . But when it is appropriate to perform this surgery
In reality, there is no ideal age to be circumcised, although it is widely believed that in adulthood it may have a more problematic course and painful consequences. In Italy, where this surgery is not performed for religious reasons, circumcision in adulthood for health reasons is more common .Circumcision: the advantages of the surgery
What is circumcision used for
What are its advantages
In a circumcised penis, compared to an uncircumcised penis:

• The incidence of chronic glans infections and even the onset of cancer is greatly reduced.
• It also reduces the possibility of contracting the HIV virus following a relationship with an HIV-positive person.

Despite this, in our country, the surgery is not performed as a preventive measure, but circumcision is used in adulthood for health reasons, particularly in cases of phimosis, when the skin of the glans creates a narrowing of the preputial orifice. This condition makes normal intimate hygiene difficult, if not impossible, and balanitis and balanoposthitis can arise which in turn can cause problems for the partner, such as vaginitis. Cases in which circumcision in adulthood is necessary
Circumcision in adulthood is considered necessary in case of:

• Tight phimosis , when it is impossible to uncover the glans even when the penis is at rest.
• Partial phimosis, when the penis cannot be discovered when erect or when there is constriction and pain in the glans during sexual intercourse.
• Recurrent balanoposthitis , recurrent infections that make it difficult to uncover the glans.

Come si esegue l’intervento di circoncisione
L’intervento di circoncisione in eta adultait can be performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia , practicing an injection at the root of the penis. Total circumcision leaves the glans completely exposed, partial circumcision (postectomy) removes only a part of the foreskin leaving the glans partially covered. A circular incision is then made under the glans and the tissue to be removed is removed, then the stitches are sutured with an absorbable thread leaving the glans uncovered. The operation lasts about half an hour , the patient can immediately return to his normal daily activities, while he has to wait a month for a complete recovery that allows him to resume sexual activity and see all the effects of the intervention vanished. Post circumcision in adulthood
Sometimes after circumcision surgery, some patients complain of a hypersensitivity of the glans , but this condition tends to disappear within a couple of weeks.
However, the advantages of penile circumcision remain, which reduces the risk of chronic infections, makes intimate hygiene easier and no longer hassles during sexual intercourse.
