Free circumcision on the nhs. If a guy desides to have his foreskin removed should not just be for medical or religious reason.. I personally want to get circumsized but can't afford private clinic prices,and my u.s girlfriend hates that my penis still has a,foreskin

I got mine done on the nhs, tell your gp the foreskin keeps tearing every time you have intercourse, Uve tried lube and Vaseline but makes no difference and it is ruining your life

Maybe not such a great idea to lose part of your penis just because your girlfriend dislikes it. You might regret it later on. You should only get it done if it’s something that YOU want. The NHS initially declined to circumcise me and my GP

prescribed a cream to treat the tight skin, so I sought a second opinion from a different doctor who agreed to refer me for surgery.

Cosmetic surgery is not carried out unless required post surgery eg cancer surgery. The NHS is not there for on demand cosmetic surgery and ways to circumvent that are immoral.

Speaking as a UK taxpayer and one who has to occasionally use NHS services and face the wait to be seen, I disagree.

If it’s your choice and not medically necessary you should go somewhere else.

To be honest this sounds like cosmetic surgery and as such you should pay for it.

I would also consider a new girl friend if she 'hates' your foreskin.

Sorry but sometimes you have to face up.

Not what you're looking for?
