You have phimosis should you get circumcised?
No, most cases of phimosis (about 95%) can be fixed without circumcision. Gradual stretching of the foreskin with the fingers and the applications of a topical corticosteroid cream applied to tight part of the foreskin are successful in getting the foreskin to relax in about 90% of cases. It may take a few weeks or a few months, but most men find this preferable to a painful circumcision. If your foreskin is too tight to allow you to get a finger inside to stretch, you can use a device that's like a balloon that slowly opens the foreskin gradually over a period of weeks. Even if surgery is needed, usually only the tight prepucial band needs to be cut. This allows the man to keep the foreskin.

[footnote: Phimosis in infants is almost never considered pathological, that is, a condition requiring medical intervention. In almost all males, there is phimosis for a considerable length of time, even a few years. In fact in almost all male newborns the glans penis (the head) and the foreskin adhere to one another, and there is no reason to forcibly separate them; doing so causes damage. This is why physicians diagnosing pathological phimosis as an indication for infant circumcision are on dangerously thin ice, unless there are extraordinary circumstances actually indicating that circumcision is medically indicated. This is one reason why health plans do not routinely cover infant circumcision. It is considered an elective, medically unnecessary procedure.]

Children that are circumcised run the risk of major damage being done to the glans penis a higher rate of infection of the penis and urethra and the gradual deadening of sensation to the glans.

In the United States 25 years ago, the vast majority of men were circumcised, but today a minority of infants are circumcised. Circumcision rates have been falling in the United States since the 1970s. In the 1980s, over 80% of newborn male infants were circumcised. By 2007, when the most recent data from the American Academcy of Pediatrics was released, less than 40% of newborn male infants were circumcised, meaning that of boys born today in the United States, more are uncircumcised and circumcised.
Circumcision rates vary widely by region in the United States. In the Midwest and southeast, circumcision rates remain as high as 65%, while in the western united states, circumcision rates are generally well below 25%.
