What kind of doctor should someone contact to circumcise an adult? What are the positive/negative points? How much does it cost approximately?
Jul 4, 2013

Dr. Salim Saab Otolaryngology (ENT)
A urologist takes care of circumcisions in adults.

The advantages of circumcision:
- reduces the risk of developing a urinary tract infection (UTI), such as a bladder infection.
- reduces the risk of getting some types of sexually transmitted infections such as HIV.
- reduces the risk of developing cancer of the penis.

The Disadvantages of circumcision:
- Reduced sensitivity – an uncircumcised penis is more sensitive than a circumcised penis, meaning that circumcised men may experience less pleasure during sex.
- Potential complications of circumcision – these include excessive bleeding and post-operative infection, and outweigh any potential benefits.

As for the cost, i'm not really sure about the exact number but i think it's somewhere between 500 and 700$.
