Question
Hello, I'm 20 and I'm thinking about getting circumcised because when I have an erection it hurts to pull back my foreskin. My question is this: What are the possible negative effects of getting circumcised at my age? Thanks!

You can make an appointment with your regular doctor, or a urologist to discuss the process and pros/cons. There are other options for softening/stretching the foreskin.
