While circumcision can be a personal choice, there are medical scenarios where consulting a urologist becomes necessary. You should see a doctor if you experience:
- Difficulty retracting the foreskin (phimosis)
- Foreskin that gets stuck behind the glans and cannot return to its normal position (paraphimosis)
- Recurrent infections under the foreskin (balanitis)
- Pain or swelling during sexual activity
- Persistent inflammation of the foreskin
- Skin tears or scarring on the foreskin
- Difficulty urinating due to foreskin tightness
Early medical evaluation can prevent complications and allow you to explore minimally invasive solutions like laser circumcision.
