Hello. Thanks for posting your query to us.

Circumcision in males is a surgical procedure involving the removal of foreskin of the penis. It is commonly indicated in conditions such as

1)Phimosis

2)Balanitis

3)Urinary tract infections

4)Penile cancers

5)As a part of religious preferences.

6)To avoid infections with HPV

Circumcision has no effects on the penile sensation or sexual satisfaction. A study involving the sexual function of circumscribed men stated that there are no negative impacts on sexual function except for some psychological issues. You have not mentioned the reason for your circumcision. I would like to recommend you to talk to your physician regarding this and get prepared for further management.

Hope this helps.
