Circumcision is a simple and painless surgical procedure typically performed to address issues like phimosis, paraphimosis, or an overly long foreskin. The procedure has minimal impact on penile size.

Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin is narrowed at different levels, causing inflammation, limiting the development of the penis. Phimosis during sex can cause men to ejaculate prematurely, have pain, or even be unable to get an erection, impotence when being intimate with their partner.

The frenulum of the foreskin prevents the foreskin from sliding too far up the shaft of the penis. The frenulum can tear if it is overstretched. This condition is mostly seen in young people, during their first sexual experiences when they lack experience, or due to excessive masturbation.

Foreskin itching is one of the characteristic symptoms of posthitis (an inflammation of the foreskin). When experiencing this condition, the child may experience pain during urination, itching, burning sensations, and discomfort. Therefore, parents should closely monitor the child's health status and seek medical evaluation and treatment promptly to prevent serious health complications.
