Are There Any Side Effects For Circumcision?
Doctor adviced me (before 5 years) to undergo circumcise after some urinary problem to me. But I am affraid of doing that.
Affraid because i heard that in case if nerve got damaged during operation then it may lead to Impotency or result in no erection at all. Kindly advice me for this problem.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Circumcision is minor operation procedure. In that operation foreskin of penis is removed and tight frenulum released. So it is relatively safe operation and bleeding, infections are some common complication.
Impotency like adverse effects are very rare, don't worry about that. As you are having urinary problem because of phimosis operation is advisable.
Consult urologist for examination and get operated by urologist for avoidance of any complication.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
