Circumcision the answer? Confused!! Please help!!
Hello and thank you for reading. My husband and I are trying to conceive but it's been difficult. He's not able to maintain the erection and sometimes not get it. It's only recent actually. He's 35 and doesn't seem to be stressed out. When he went to the doctor, he was prescribed cialis. Then when the doctor checked him, he said his foreskin doesn't go back when he's erect and it's very painful if it is pulled back. The doctor suggested circumcision but I don't understand what that has to do with an erection? He's never had an issue with the foreskin during penetration so I'm confused as to why the doctor would suggest it. Is there a connection? I'm also scared that when he takes the pills the erection will last for several hours and that's my only fear. Please help! Thank you so much!
I WASN'T CIRCUMCISED BY MY PARENTS AT BIRTH. AT ABOUT AGE 29 I STARTED HAVING PAIN WITH SEX AND MASTURBATION. WHAT WAS GOING ON WAS THAT MY FORESKIN WAS NOT RETRACTING AND CAUSING PAIN. IT ALSO HAD A HARD TIME TO RETRACT IT TO WASH THE GLANS. SMEGMA ACCUMULATED GIVING OFF A BAD ODOR. I HAD TO BE CIRCUMCISED AT THIS TIME. IF YOUR HUSBAND IS NOT EXPERIENCING PAIN I WOULDN'T SUGGEST CIRCUMCISION AS IT IS AN UNNECESSARY PROCEDURE. I WOULD SUGGEST IT HOWEVER IF HE WAS HAVING A HARD TIME KEEPING IT CLEAN UNDERNEATH THE FORESKIN TO PREVENT THIS FROM ACCUMULATING SMEGMA.
Thank you for all the responses. They have really put my mind at ease. He is seeing another urologist tomorrow just to get a second opinion.
Suggest your husband to try another urologist and get some more professional opinions. If it is possible not to do the surgery, it is better to avoid it.
In regard to Cialis: If you worry about the fact that the erection will last for several hours (this side effect occures in less than 10% of cases), discuss with the doctor some other meds such as Viagra or Levitra that are active for about 4-5 hours.

Nice code name Joy!
The Cialis 5mg daily is the best of all the ED meds. It works for more of a spontaneous sexual result with less side effects.. I know that this erection issue is a problem and I hope that it is only a temporary situation.. The foreskin can be worked with the proper daily exercise which should solve his issues. He has got to get it pulled back on more routine basis.
There are many things that effect the male erection anywhere from higher BP, poor circulation, prostrate issues, low testosterone levels, and even mind stimulation.. So seeing a urologist is the right thing to do.. They should do a full check up instead of just prescribing Cialis or Viagra .. Thanks for your reply to both of us that have responded..

Thank you both for your answers. They were helpful. Yes I agree that I don't think my husband should get
Circumcised because it's never been an issue of pain during penetration. Maybe he may consider it later down the line but not for now. I feel like he should take the pills this month and see how it goes. I never expected something like this to be happening and I don't even know the proper cause which is so frustrating.

You are asking the right questions Your Dr is probably Cut and thinks that this an easy fix .. The uncut man has a real advantage with foreskin protecting the glans -- That was the natural way of a male's penis.. He does need to work it to get it to be more sensitive so that he will be totally aroused.. I have my foreskin and it has always been a special sexual experience for me .. I would say Do not do It.. keep the foreskin and work with it until it does pull back.. Make sure you are talking to a good urologist
that is not wanting to take the easy way out.. Keep in mind you sure cant put it back on after they mess with it.. Plus it would be dang painful for a 35 yro to heal from this surgery.. Good luck.. BTW I have been married for over 50 years and still have good sexual intercourse weekly.. my thoughts only!

Hi there i think the Doctor wanted your husband to get Circumcised to stop the pain he's in when its pulled back , Does the foreskin go back when having sex , if so your husband would be in some discomfort that may stop his performance , i think that's what the Doctor means ,
Cialis is a Drug to help get erect &stay erect , one of the side effects is that he may stay erect for sometime , but this is rare , iv'e been on the Drug myself and i found it safe , Please take care ,
