Hi Docta.
Answer
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin, the tissue covering the head of the penis. It is an ancient practice that has its origin in religious rites. Today, many parents have their sons circumcised for religious or other reasons.
When is circumcision done?
Circumcision is usually performed on the first or second day after birth. (Among the Jewish population, circumcision is performed on the eighth day.) The procedure becomes more complicated and riskier in older babies, children, and men.
How is circumcision done?
During a circumcision, the foreskin is freed from the head of the penis (glans), and the excess foreskin is clipped off. If done in the newborn period, the procedure takes about five to 10 minutes. Adult circumcision takes about one hour. The circumcision generally heals in five to seven days.
Is circumcision necessary?
The use of circumcision for medical or health reasons is an issue that continues to be debated. Currently, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend routine circumcision for newborn males stating the evidence was not significant enough to prove the operation's benefit. The procedure may be recommended in older boys and men to treat phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) or to treat an infection of the penis.
Parents should talk with their doctor about the benefits and risks of the procedure before making a decision regarding circumcision of a male child. Other factors, such as your culture, religion, and personal preference, will also be involved in your decision.
What are the benefits of circumcision?
There is some evidence that circumcision has health benefits, including:
Circumcision also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean.
Note: Some studies show that good hygiene can help prevent certain problems with the penis, including infections and swelling, even if the penis is not circumcised. In addition, using a condom during sex will help prevent STDs and other infections.
What are the risks of circumcision?
Like any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with circumcision. However, this risk is low. Problems associated with circumcision include:
1. I now find it more difficult to penetrate. the penis head is always too dry and trying to enter always makes my partner feel pain.
Painful Penis During Sex and What It Could Mean
Women aren't the only ones who can experience pain during sex - it happens in men, too. Infection, nerve pain and inflammation of the penis and/or prostate can lead to intense discomfort during sex. Vitamins, minerals, antibiotics and self-care go a long way toward improving symptoms and speeding recovery. If the problem persists, it is important to go to the doctor and rule out any serious problems than can affect not only satisfaction, but overall health.
Symptoms
Pain during sex can range anywhere from minor to intense. Many men find that as pain begins to progress, if the cause of the pain is left untreated, sex becomes almost unbearable. It's normal for the penis to become hypersensitive directly after orgasm, to the point of being painful to touch. However, in rarer cases, men can experience pain in the penis during sex or during an erection. Symptoms can differ greatly, depending on what is causing the pain. Sharp, shooting, burning or tingling pain should be checked out by a doctor or urologist immediately in order to rule out infection, spinal problems, or chronic degenerative illnesses.
Causes
There are a lot of possible causes for having a painful penis during sex or after sex.
If the penis has begun to change its shape in any way, or bulges form, this may be due to the development of scar tissue inside the penis, a condition known as Peyronie's Disease.
When the foreskin is too tight and painful to retract, this is known as phimosis, a problem that can either begin at birth or occur as a result of scarring of the foreskin.
Inflammation and infection of the penis or prostate gland are other possibilities. Be on the lookout for warning signs such as redness, heat, burning, itching, discharge, changes in urine color and smell, or skin problems.
When a man experiences tingling, burning, shooting pains, or numbness, the cause of pain during sex may be related to nerve issues. According to the Mayo Clinic, the pudendal nerve, which runs from the spine through the buttocks, may cause pain in the buttocks, anus and penis when it is pinched or damaged.
Men with diabetes may also experience gradual nerve damage as part of their condition, beginning as tingling and later progressing to pain, burning, or numbness in hands, feet and genitals.
Treatment
Treatment ultimately depends on what is causing the pain. Infection and inflammation of the penis and/or prostate can be handled easily in most cases with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and immune enhancers such as vitamin C and Echinacea extract.
Nerve problems are often treated with a range of therapies, including anti-inflammatory medications, pain killers, and self-management strategies to use at home. If the nerves have been damaged from diabetes, the most important strategy is to manage the disease effectively through dietary changes, insulin therapy, and supplements that support insulin sensitivity.
Some natural products may support nerve health and reduce pain naturally. Botanicals such as California poppy, Chamomile, Passionflower, and Skullcap may help to reduce pain signaling in the nerves. Studies show that alpha lipoic acid, Lion's Mane mushroom and St John's Wort may help to reduce nerve inflammation and promote the regeneration of damaged nerves.
Health Crèmes
Penis health crèmes are natural products that can help to treat inflammation, pain, and nerve damage of the penis. Containing natural vitamins, antioxidants and oils that benefit tissue integrity and immune health, health crèmes can be applied to speed the recovery of skin cells and possibly calm hypersensitive tissues.
Specialized formulas (most professionals recommend Man1Man Oil) contain vitamin C as a natural immune support, vitamin E to reduce scarring of tissues, alpha lipoic acid for penis nerve health, and shea butter for anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties.
I had myself circumcised a few months ago but now I am having challenges during sex. 1. I now find it more difficult to penetrate. the penis head is always too dry and trying to enter always makes my partner feel pain. 2. I now almost reach a climax during sex. I last had an ejaculation 2 months ago. This has made my sex life a big bore. I love sex but I regret going for MC. Before then I had a great sex life.

There is some evidence that circumcision has health benefits, including:
A decreased risk of urinary tract infections.
A reduced risk of sexually transmitted diseases in men.
Protection against penile cancer and a reduced risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners.
Prevention of balanitis (inflammation of the glans) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin).
Prevention of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location).
Circumcision also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean.
Note: Some studies show that good hygiene can help prevent certain problems with the penis, including infections and swelling, even if the penis is not circumcised. In addition, using a condom during sex will help prevent STDs and other infections.

Like any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with circumcision. However, this risk is low. Problems associated with circumcision include:
Pain
Risk of bleeding and infection at the site of the circumcision
Irritation of the glans
Increased risk of meatitis (inflammation of the opening of the penis)
Risk of injury to the penis
