“Circumcision to fix a twist?”
Hello, I have a few questions about circumcision. I can't say it is a true medical need, but I have thought about it on and off for a few years. I understand the idea the foreskin contains quite a lot of nerves for sensation and can be lost due to circumcision but I am still considering the procedure.
I understand that it would require a full examination to determine the possibilities, however, could the frenulum be tight to cause the shaft leading to the metus to twist, maybe close to 90 degrees when erect? Would circumcision correct the twist?
Also, would the typical same-day circumcision procedure, within a walk-in doctor's office visit that provides these procedures and family medicine, be possible to correct such a thing, or is it appropriate to seek urologists for such matters?
I do not think there ever was damage, scar tissue, or disease, as it has always been this way after puberty, and I am still a virgin. If I am able to get the procedure, then what would the healing process be like in time?

Couple of facts. Circumcision does not decrease overall sensation for sexual activity. As an adult you would need to see a urologist and typically have general anesthesia in order to have the best outcome. Being a virgin has no bearing on if you have a tight frenulum or curvature. A circumcision would correct the twist as the urologist could align it correctly. See a local urologist for an exam and evaluation.
So good news, I think your frenulum is tethering your penis in that 90° angle. You have a frenulectomy, which will correct the angulation and get rid of the discomfort you have with erections. That way you do not need a circumcision. I would never take a family member to a family practice center to do a circumcision. You need to see your urologist because things can go awry very quickly and you dont want to be in that situation. I also would not suggest doing this under local only. You should have a general anesthetic in a surgical center and be monitored appropriately. It takes about six weeks to recover from any of the penile surgeries we do. At that point youre clear to do everything.
