What does circumcision feel like?

Circumcision can be extremely painful, especially in the days following the procedure. It is also extremely painful to get erections for the first few weeks following circumcision. Erections can also rip out the stitches, requiring another surgery. Circumcision caries with it other serious risks of adverse outcomes including prolonged bleeding, infection, and surgical error that can result in damage to the penis. For these reasons most physicians recommend against circumcision. Circumcision can have long lasting consequences. Circumcision removes a normal part of the penis that functions to protect the glans of the penis. Removal of the foreskin can cause decreased sensitivity of the penis and decreased pleasure during sexual intercourse. This is yet another reason why circumcision is becoming increasingly uncommon. Circumcision is far less common now in the United States than it once was. During the 1970s and 1980, around 80% of male infants were circumcised in the United States. A study conducted in the United States from 2005-2007 found that circumcision rates had fallen to below 40% in most of the United States. In the western United States, fewer than 25% of infant males were circumcised in 2005-2007.
