For babies, generally no (unless you count a few drops of wine given to the baby to calm him down). For older children and adults, the patient is ALWAYS circumcised in a hospital under general anesthesia.

How can anyone get circumcised without anesthesia?

You don't need to be sedated just get a local. Being put under increases the risks and is not necessary. A local is enough to take the pain away.It is very difficult to administer effective local anesthesia to make circumcision painless in adults and more often then not newborns are subjected to this with no anesthesia at all. it is a barbarous and utterly useless procedure and can result in psychological damage side from the genital mutilation.

Do you get put a sleep when getting circumcise?

Yes, during a circumcision, patients are typically given anesthesia to ensure they do not feel pain. This can be either local anesthesia, which numbs the area, or general anesthesia, which puts the patient to sleep. The choice depends on the patient's age, health, and the specific procedure being performed. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized information.


Does circumcision hurt at age 24?

The penis and the foreskin are a couple of the most sensitive parts of the body. the foreskin is higly charged with many thousands of touch sensitive erogenous nerves. If you were to be treated the same way as an infant is for example when this form if genital mutilation is performed on you you would have grounds to claim mall practice had been committed upon you. There's NO age limit for circumcision and the pain that comes with it. Ask the urologist to give you local anesthesia before the surgery. There is in fact only disadvantage and reduced performance to be found as a result of circumcision.
