How much does it cost for a twenty two year old to be circumcised?

Answer 1

Circumcision is generally not covered by health insurance or national health services unless it is to treat a medical condition, such a circumcision. Circumcision of an adult male should generally cost around $500 US Dollars.

Answer 2

Circumcision is not covered by health insurance as it is not a medically necessary procedure so you will have to pay for the full cost yourself out of pocket. Circumcision with general anesthesia should cost between $2000 and $3000. This includes the doctor performing the procedure and the anesthesiologist. Circumcision of adults is less expensive, as adults can opt to have only local anesthesia. Circumcision has no known medical benefit, and most doctors recommend against routine infant circumcision. Circumcision, like all surgeries, has risks of adverse medical events including surgical error, prolonged bleeding, infection, and pain. A permanent decrease in penile sensitivity and sexual pleasure is also common since circumcision removes the foreskin, which protects the sensitive glans (head) of the penis. Circumcision is extremely rare in the world outside the United States, and even within the United States, the circumcision rate has dropped by more than half. In 1980 over 80% of newborns in the United States were circumcised while in 2007 less than 40% of infants were circumcised.

Answer 3

If you have a legitimate medical reason for it, then you could get it covered by insurance. However, if you have no medical reason for it, then it's labelled as a cosmetic procedure and you have to pay for it yourself. It'll probably be a couple thousand dollars.

Cost really varies by region and by the way they do it, and of course, by doctor. You could be completely put to sleep or they could just numb it and you'd be awake. We could say it's as cheap as $500 while some places are as expensive as $2,000.

The procedure lasts around half an hour. The healing period is six weeks for the stitches to heal, meaning no sexual activity.

It's your choice, but circumcision removes highly innervated erogenous tissue. It's not something that can be undone, though you can restore some function by restoration via stretching. So just be completely sure in your decision. As with any surgery, there is the risk of death or disfigurement. And in the case of circumcision it is definitely disfigurement .

Worldwide, only about 15% of men are circumcised. The USA and Israel are the only developed countries in the world where the majority of men are circumcised. with the majority not being circumcised any more in the USA now. Globally, circumcision is quite uncommon, and in the vast majority of countries, it's only done by Jews, Muslims, and some primitive Aboriginal tribes in Australia and Africa..
