Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

    If done properly, then circumcision is a very safe procedure with hardly any complications. Absolutely, there is no adverse effect on your sexual life. Postoperative pain will be there for a few days, which can be easily managed with analgesics. Very rarely, there can be bleeding after circumcision, which may require re-exploration. Generally, if done by a person with expertise, this procedure is very safe.

Patient's Query
