Can an adult get circumcised

Answer 1

Yes, and he should if there is a clear medical indication that circumcision is the best course of action. Of course he will consult with more than one doctor and will become fully informed about the risks and benefits before doing it. He should know that as a routine procedure done on infants, there is virtually never an indication of medical need at the time it is done. It is just routine, and is more about reducing very slightly the possibility of various problems during later years that are already very low in incidence.

Answer 2

The prepuce/foreskin has been found to have immunological benefits, and to actually prevent against urethritis.

The US circumcision rate for newborn males is down, by some estimates, to 33%. There is a reason that health plans will not cover circumcision in infants: it is not medically indicated. On the other hand, circumcision may be indicated treatment for some conditions in older males, but should be considered a last resort. Why would you want to be circumcised? Is there a medical indication? If there is a medical indication for circumcision, are there any other therapies or treatments that might help you while leaving otherwise healthy and functioning tissue intact?

Adult men who are thinking about circumcision need to ask some serious questions and get several professional opinions. If there is no need to remove healthy, functioning tissue from your penis, please consider leaving it alone.

Answer 3

Only if there is something very rare as a medical condition.

Answer 4

Yes, some men undergo circumcision well into adult life and for various reasons.

Answer 5

Yes, circumcision has NO age limit.
