I’m 27 years old and I didn’t get circumcised when I was younger because I have a natural foreskin.
When I have sex with my girlfriend, sometimes I feel sensitivity and sometimes I don’t, so I’m wondering if I should get circumcised.
Is it okay to get circumcised as an adult?
I’ve heard that circumcision can reduce sensitivity—does it vary by person?
Also, is there a surgery to increase length? (I feel like mine is small.)

Hello, this is Dr. Changki Lee from Goldman Urology Clinic, Incheon.
Many men in their late 20s consider circumcision due to changes in sensitivity or functional concerns. Even if you have a natural foreskin, if the opening is tight or hygiene is difficult to maintain, circumcision can help improve these issues.
There is no problem with undergoing circumcision as an adult. Regarding sensitivity, while some people are concerned about reduced sensation, the outcome can vary depending on the individual. In many cases, improved hygiene after the procedure leads to greater comfort and psychological confidence.
As for procedures related to penile length or enlargement, the possibility depends on each individual’s anatomy. A proper evaluation is necessary to determine whether such procedures are appropriate.
If you have concerns about size or function, it is recommended to visit a urology clinic to assess your current condition and discuss suitable treatment options.
At our clinic, we carefully evaluate each patient’s condition based on extensive clinical experience, providing accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans.
