remember that most of the men on this planet are not circumsized but rather just the way that nature made them. the male foreskin is just a skin covering not unlike the lips or eyelids. it does not need to be removed and whatever is causing the irritation can likely be fixed. circumcision at age 12: not likely covered by insurance; this would be considered a cosmetic procedure done under anesthesia may be general or local will be painful for several weeks following surgery risk of infection and other post-surgical complications hi don't if he has some kind of irritation is this from him not washing behind his foreskin if its to tight get him to play with his foreskin he needs to start stretching it sideways and length ways and slowly he will be able to get his foreskin back then using a seas salt water wash this will help clean and get rid of any irritations behind it. it would be far better for his later sex life if he is left intact than having a circumcision. do hope this helps you. good luck
what is circumcision like in teen years? . we've recently decided to get my 12-year-old brother circumcised because it was irritating him a lot. i was wondering what the risks would be recovery time and how painful it'll be for him?
