Circumcision: what it is and why it is done

How the intervention takes place
Circumcision is an "intervention that touches the" male genital system. In fact, it removes, totally or partially, the foreskin thus determining the permanent uncovering of the glans. The foreskin, as you know, is the skin that covers the glans penis when the penis is erect.
In case of phimosis (narrowing of the preputial orifice, which prevents the man from completely and autonomously discovering the glans) circumcision is associated with frenuloctomy, or the removal of the frenulum or its extension. This is an intervention that allows the man to have more satisfying sexual relations.
All this leaves a slight scar which, especially if the patient is young, disappears in a short time.
Circumcision is usually performed without hospitalization, so in day-hospital or outpatient. Often it is your doctor who recommends the most suitable facility nearby.

It is also practiced in some cases of urinary tract infections or penile cancer. But not only that: circumcision is also used in those cases in which premature ejaculation has a physical origin.
