Do they numb you during your circumcision?
Physicians disagree about the use of anaesthesia during circumcisions. Before the mid 1980s, anaesthesia was not used because the US medical community refused to admit there was pain involved. This opinion has changed, however an aesthetic still is not always used due to a lack of experience with its use, as well as the belief that it introduces additional risks. Even though there is indication that the risk is minimal; some physicians who perform circumcisions do not use anaesthetics even after they received training. When an aesthetic is used, it only partially relieves some of the pain, and its effect diminishes before the post-operative pain does. The most effective form of aesthetic involves injections into the penis which is in it a grossly painful experience. If you would like to see more information on this subject perhaps the related link below (Infant Responses to Circumcision) wil be helpfull
Yes. If you are a baby you will get one of a number of anesthetics. Almost all physicians will use lidocaine injections in one of two methods, either a dorsal penile block, anesthetizing the nerves inervating the penis or a ring block, anesthetizing the whole base of the penis. We also give babies sugar water to suck while we do the procedure, this acts on some of the babies central pain receptors. This works because their nervous system is not fully matured and so it is like a very magnified euphoria any of us get when we eat sweets. If you are an adult being circumcised you will get much more anesthetic. But I am not a urologist, so I don't know the details. I do not know what is done during religious ceremonies
How much does a circumcision cost for a 1 year old in VA?

When will your penis change from uncircumcised to circumcised?
Circumcision is a surgery during which part of the skin of the penis, called the foreskin, is cut off of the penis. This will make a penis circumcised.
In the case of some individuals, the onset of puberty might make one become naturally circumcised where hormonal changes trigger the growth of the head of the penis at a faster rate than the foreskin. The foreskin shortens and the head would be partially or fully exposed in the process.
Structure removed in circumcision?
The foreskin (or prepuce) is cut off and removed in circumcision. The foreskin is the structure that covers the head (glans) of a non-erect penis. The outer layer of the foreskin is not distinct from the rest of shaft-skin of the penis. In general though, the foreskin is usually considered the tapered cylindrical double layer of tissue extending from behind the corona (flange) forward to about the end of the glans and returning, and to end at the same distance along the penis as it began (ie, it is defined by circumcision...).
From the corona to the ridged band its surface is mucosa; the rest is skin, and it is lined with part of the (involuntary) dartos fascia muscle which holds it against the glans. On erection for most men it unrolls into a single-layered cylinder, mucosa behind the corona, skin behind that, enclosing about half of the shaft. During intercourse it may move back and forth along the shaft. It is richly innervated with Meissner corpuscles, nerve-endings of the same kind as in the fingertips and lips. They are most concentrated in a ridged band running around the inside of the foreskin near the tip, beginning and ending at the frenulum, a web connecting the foreskin to the underside of the glans (head).
Unfolded, the total area of the foreskin is about 15 sq in or 98 cm².
Can a properly executed circumcision require a circumcision revision?
A circumcision revision is when a change is made to an already circumcised foreskin. Often this means that either not enough skin was removed, so more skin is removed, or that the initial cut healed unevenly or was badly done to begin.
How much does an adult circumcision cost in California?
The cost will be different from doctor to doctor and from hospital to hospital. Please give this a LOT of consideration before putting a 9 year old boy through this procedure. Many men live perfectly healthy lives without undergoing a circumcision.
Why do Jewish male infants get circumcised?
Answer 1
As commanded by God, in order to enter into the covenant of Abraham (Genesis ch.17).
God told Abraham "every male among you shall be circumcised" (Gen. 17) as part of the covenant between God and the Jewish people.
Since that time, virtually all Jews have observed the command of circumcision (Genesis ch.17) for close to four millennia, even in times of religious persecution under the Greeks, Romans, Spaniards, Soviets and others.
Answer 2 The real reason however is always to set a society or a part of a society apart from others.
Answer 3
The religious origin of Jewish circumcision is in the Torah. It says that God told Abraham "every male among you shall be circumcised" (Gen. 17) as part of a covenant between God and the Jewish people. Circumcision was introduced to replace the sacrifice of children to their god. However, most Jews are unaware of this origin, and in a survey of American Jews, the large majority (87%) do not believe that the Torah is the actual word of God.
In actual practice, many Jews circumcise because of cultural conformity, not religious reasons. Based on a national survey of American Jews, "90 percent define being Jewish as being a member of a cultural or ethnic group." Most circumcisions of male infants of American Jewish parents are done in hospitals without any religious ritual.
"Circumcision is commanded in Genesis 17:10-14 as an outward sign of a man's participation in Israel's covenant with God, as well as a sign that the Jewish people will perpetuate through him" (Circumcision in Judaism, n.d., para. 2)

Should you get circumcised if your girlfriend doesn't like uncut and you're 14?
If you're 14, the chances you'll have the same girlfriend in 3 months is highly unlikely. You're just beginning to form relationships and learn how to court the opposite sex. To do something that drastic for someone -- even as an unmarried adult -- would seem a little foolish. Your first responisbility is to yourself. You may want to spend a little more time finding someone you can talk to, form a deeper relationship with someone you can truly relate to. Sex is the easiest part of a relationship and it carries the most serious consequences.
If your girlfriend only likes circumcised guys, she should stick with circumcised guys.
No, you shouldn't get a circumcision unless you need surgery as the foreskin is too tight or other medical reasons. It would be very drastic to do this for the sake of a girl saying she does not like uncut ! To be honest, if she does not like it then she cannot like you very much. If she did she would not have suggested it. It is part of you. Also what about later when you may have a girlfriend that says she does not like circumcised penises ? You won't be able to stick it back on again !!! Think about it very seriously before you decide what to do, I know what I would do. I think a natural foreskin on the penis is more beautiful than a cut one anyway.
There is some circumcision of South Korean men as a result of the American influence. However as In The US it is rapidly becoming a less popular activity as has pretty well been discredited as a form of unnecessary Genital mutilation by mainstream medical authority's. Circumsicion is initially a religious or cultural rite that was introduced Into non religious English speaking country's during the Victorian era to stop boys from masturbating. The reasoning has changed over the years but its reasonableness hasn't.
What happens if you are still not circumcised?
Nothing. There is no medical reason for circumcision, and the vast majority of men in the world are not circumcised. Circumcision is practiced by some ethnic and religious groups including by Jews and in certain sects of Islam. However, most other religions, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, do not practice circumcision.
It should not be performed unless there is a medical reason making it necessary.
Are Hindu children circumcised at birth?
in Hinduism itself there is no specific note that says that boys should be circumcised i have almost 30 Hindu friends and none are circumcised. however in Asia where Hinduism is more prominent cultural many young boys are circumcised so circumcision in Hindus is more cultural than the actual law of the religion.
I had a Hindu friend from schooldays who was circumcised as an infant on the advice of a Hindu priest because the priest said that the presence of the foreskin would bring bad luck to him later in life. That was the only instance where I heard of a Hindu circumcision. Hindus generally do not circumcise.
Why is it important to circumcise Jewish babies?
Circumcision is a religious tradition for Jews that goes back thousands of years. No one knows for sure how it started, but it is believed it may be related to difficulties with hygiene in the desert environment of the Middle East. Jewish theologians generally discount the practical explanation in favor of the religious one.
The Jewish bris is a sign of Abraham's covenant with G-d. It is practiced by all branches of Judaism. The reason male circumcision is important to Judaism is because the Torah specifies that uncircumcised Jewish males are cut of from Judaism and cannot participate in a large percentage of Jewish life and ritual.
In terms of when the circumcision occurs, aside from the Torah specifying it must be done at 8 days, modern research has shown that blood clotting performance peaks at 8 days. Additionally, when circumcision is done at 8 days, it is a minor process that heals within 36-48 hours on average. Adult male circumcision is a serious surgery that requires stitches and a fairly long and painful healing process.
How long in length does your foreskin on your penis have to be to get circumcised?
around 2.3cm is the average length of this part of the male anatomy
How many countries today still perform circumcision?
The vast majority of men in the world are uncircumcised. In most of the world circumcision is extremely rarely practiced. For example in most of Europe, South America, Central America, Africa, and Asia, probably 98 out of 100 men would be uncircumcised. However, in some countries a small minority of the population is circumcised. For example in places like Canada and Australia, around 10% of newborn babies are circumcised.
Circumcision is very common in Israel, where there is a large Jewish population. Circumcision is also practiced among some, but not all, Muslims.
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%.
Can a person be circumcised twice?
No, however complications can arise where more work has to be carried out to repair damage done if possible, by the original circumcision. The foreskin will not grow back.
Does West Virginia medicaid cover circumcision in children?
No.
it is unlikely that they would cover it unles there was something wrong with it. circumcision is an unecesary procedure that has no benefits to health. on the contrary it is bad for health and many people have to deal with the harmfull effects latter in life.
The procedure is typically done on a newborn for religious reasons in the Jewish and Muslim communities. In the USA, it is also done on people who claim to be Christians, despite the New Testament scriptures that condemn it. Rarely, it is done to fix a medical problem that cannot be fixed any other way. Due to the lack of knowledge about the foreskin in the USA, many "medical" circumcisions are actually unnecessary.
Some people claim to do it for "personal reasons" when ironically forcing it on someone else, ignoring their personal choice. Feminists, despite claiming to promote equality, completely ignore the issue or try to justify it using the same arguments that they condemn when they are used to promote female circumcision (which can be as little as a prick, or the removal of the entire prepuce).
'Cruel' is a subjective statement. However, as circumcision removes the entire prepuce (foreskin) is removed, and causes extreme pain (especially when performed on a child), then it is considered by most people to be cruel, which is why most countries don't promote circumcision, other than Jewish-majority and Muslim-majority countries. A study in 1997 had to be halted due to the pain caused to children. Those who do not scream out typically go into a state of silent shock.
Additionally, there are numerous risks, including medical problems and even the risk of death (over 100 babies die each year in the USA from circumcision or circumcision complications). The glans also becomes dried out, and the foreskin's natural lubrication is removed.
It is completely unnecessary - arguments for it have been debunked numerous times. For example, cleanliness is achieved easily by simply washing the penis as one would wash a finger until the foreskin naturally separates (this can be as late as puberty, sometimes later), at which point it takes only seconds to wash under the foreskin. HIV risk is reduced by condoms - and studies that claim HIV is reduced by circumcision have been proven to be based on fraudulent data. The USA has a high rate of circumcision, yet a high rate of HIV - this is likely due to the myth that circumcision reduces HIV risk, thus resulting in mass unprotected sex.
Some people invoke perverted reasons such as "I want him to look like me / his father" or ignorant reasons such as "he will be bullied" (interestingly, they don't dye the hair of blonde children despite blonde stereotypes, to "prevent bullying", but instead teach children how to deal with bullying). Less children are circumcised these days, and children can quite easily point out that having a normal, whole penis, is natural in the vast majority of countries, so the idea that it can be used as bullying material is silly.
As a result of it being completely unnecessary other than to fix a genuine medical issue that already exists, it is, by the standards of most people in the world, cruel.
Which Premiership footballers have been circumcised?
All of them have to be or they can't play football well
The ones who want to play better have their entire p enis removed.
Taking it to the next level requires also removing the tes ticles.
The next to the top tier of players have their hands removed, too, since you can't use your hands in football and they just add useless weight. Saves penalties from accidental hand use, too.
Those who want to be absolutely top notch and world class have their arms and legs removed as well.
How do you know you have a circumcision?
If your penis is intact you Will have skin all the way from it's base to the tip or a bit past the tip. if you have been circumcised the skin stops near the top exposing the glans at the end.
However, the statement above is not necessarily true as there are some uncircumcised men with short foreskins that barely cover the glans leaving it partly or totally exposed. The surest way to tell whether the penis is circumcised or not is the presence of the circumcision scar.
Yes there is a form of female circumcision million's of Women are genitally mutilated by this savage culture.
like male circumcision it is the mutilation of parts of the male genitalia and it serves no purpose in either male or female well being
No. You must have a penis to get circumcised. And it happens usually at young age or birth. Circumcision = Male.
How do you pleasure a circumcised man?
This is a difficult question to answer since there are different types of circumcision and all women are different. If she can't feel anything in the vulva and vagina you have to concentrate on other erogenous zones like breasts, necks etc. You have to try what works for her. Women who's had the clitoral hood pierced or had the clit cut can in most cases still feel something. The nerve that is the clitoris goes down to the buttocks and on the inside of the thighs so it's not all gone. I'm not sure but for a women who s had everything on the vulva removed and then stitched shut you might try other erogenous zones and maybe the G-spot. But that is hard since many of those women have traumas carried with them form the circumcision and might also have had infections and complications so they just don't want anything inside. You can also try different sex toys like vibrators since they come in all sizes and she can adjust the speed etc herself. I hope I have at least helped a little and I'm adding links I've found. Not much but there are articles to find if you google. The problem is that they say different things. It's probably because there are different types of circumcision but also because it happens to so different women. The experiences differ.
