&lt;h1 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Am I Too Old for Circumcision? Adult Circumcision.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;This article discusses the reasons why some adults choose to get circumcised in our clinics, the potential risks and complications, and how age can impact the procedure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Traditionally circumcision is done at a young age. This is especially true for Jewish, and Muslim boys as it&#39;s more of a religious ritual or requirement, used to be more Christian too but nowadays,s circumcision is only famous in the US and Australia.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;So, when adult men have suggested the idea of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/circumcision&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;adult circumcision&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;some may think they are too old to be circumcised. The truth is, there is no age limit or restrictions regarding circumcision. What&amp;rsquo;s more important is why you want to be circumcised and the method of circumcision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p3&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;p3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Do Adult Men Get Circumcised?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Circumcision is a religious or cultural ritual for many Jewish and Islamic families and certain aboriginal tribes in Africa and Australia. Circumcision can also be a matter of family tradition, personal hygiene or preventive health care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Sometimes, there&#39;s a medical need for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/circumcision-thailand&quot;&gt;circumcision in Bangkok, Thailand&lt;/a&gt;, such as when the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back (retracted) over the glans. In other cases, particularly in parts of Africa, circumcision is recommended for older boys or men to reduce the risk of certain sexually transmitted infections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Circumcision might have various health benefits, including:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Better Hygiene&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;list-style-type: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/circumcision-thailand&quot;&gt;Adult circumcision&lt;/a&gt; makes it easier to wash your penis, keeping the penis clean and dry. It also prevents the buildup of dead skin, which is called smegma. Smegma may cause itch, discomfort, and an unwanted smell. Some men opt for circumcision so they don&amp;rsquo;t have to worry about this anymore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Tight foreskin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Occasionally, the foreskin on an uncircumcised penis can be difficult or impossible to retract (phimosis). This can lead to inflammation of the foreskin or the head of the penis. Tight foreskin or&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc; text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/phimosis&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;phimosis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;is a medical indication for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/circumcision-thailand&quot;&gt;adult circumcision in Bangkok&lt;/a&gt;. This usually happens when the foreskin is too tight such that it causes pain and discomfort for them, especially during intercourse. Men tend to have phimosis if they do not stretch or pull back their foreskin often enough, especially when they are younger.&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Some men may still want to try to stretch their foreskin to avoid circumcision. This is still possible of course but it may take a bit of time and effort to get it fully stretched. And if that still doesn&amp;rsquo;t work after 6 months it is unlikely to be effective and circumcision would be the best solution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Reduces risk of HIV infection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/circumcision&quot;&gt;Male circumcision&lt;/a&gt; can reduce a man&#39;s risk of acquiring HIV infection&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;by 50 to 60 per cent&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;during sex with HIV-infected female partners, according to data from three clinical trials.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Reduces risks of Sexually Transmitted Infections&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Circumcised men compared with uncircumcised men have also been shown in clinical trials to be less likely to acquire new infections with&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;syphilis (by 42 per cent), genital ulcer disease (by 48 per cent), &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/herpes-simplex-virus-hsv&quot;&gt;genital herpes&lt;/a&gt; (by 28 - 45 per cent), and high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) associated with cancer (by 24 - 47 per cent).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Decreased risk of urinary tract infections &amp;amp; recurrent infection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Uncircumcised men have a higher risk of getting infections. These include &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/balanitis&quot;&gt;balanitis&lt;/a&gt; (infection of the penis head that some time will come with&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/penile-discharge&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;penile discharge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;), posthitis (infection of the foreskin) and even urinary tract infection (UTI). Some men, end up getting infections several times a year. This can cause unnecessary stress and inconvenience for them as they need to keep taking antibiotics, affecting their normal activities. For these men, circumcision is also highly recommended as it will significantly reduce the risk of these infections. Here&amp;rsquo;s a Good Read on&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/non-sexually-transmitted-diseases-causes-of-penile-discharge&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;non-STDs cause of abnormal discharge of the penis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Reduces risks of cancers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;While &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/circumcision&quot;&gt;male circumcision&lt;/a&gt; has not been shown to reduce the risk of HIV transmission to female partners, it does reduce the risk that a female partner will acquire a new syphilis infection by 59 per cent. In observational studies, circumcision has been shown to lower the risk of penile cancer, cervical cancer in female sexual partners, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;infant urinary tract infections in male infants.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Although cancer of the penis is rare, it&#39;s less common in circumcised men. In addition, cervical cancer is less common in the female sexual partners of circumcised men.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. Aesthetic reasons&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A growing number of men are choosing to get cut because they or their partners are more attracted to the appearance of a circumcised penis. That&amp;rsquo;s the only reason; they just like the look of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p3&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p2&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;p3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method of circumcision&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;p6&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Stapler Method in Thailand:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/circumcision-thailand&quot;&gt;Stapler circumcision&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; eliminates the need for sutures or injections and can be completed in approximately 5 minutes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The stapler circumcision apparatus consists of two parts: the inner bell, which safeguards the glans, and the outer bell, which is designed for foreskin removal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Stapler circumcision also referred to as surgical stapling, is a circumcision technique involving the utilization of a specialized tool called a circumcision stapler. This procedure is typically conducted by a trained healthcare provider, such as a physician or nurse, within a medical facility or clinic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p7&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 class=&quot;p3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I Have a Chronic Medical Condition; Can I Still Get Circumcised?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Health Risks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
