MEDICAL REASONS FOR CIRCUMCISIONS IN ADULTS

Medical reasons for circumcisions in adults are well documented and practiced. A circumcision may be recommended in men of any age who are experiencing problems with their foreskin and other medical issues. This may include problems such as:

  • A tight foreskin that cannot be retracted (phimosis)
  • A foreskin that retracts but cannot be pulled back easily (paraphimosis)
  • Recurrent infections under the foreskin (balanitis)
  • A chronically inflamed foreskin (balanitis xerotica obliterans or BXO)
  • Tearing of the foreskin or pain during sexual activity
  • Urinary tract infection
  • Preventative measures against some sexually transmitted diseases in men; such as HIV.
