Should cost around RM150-RM200. For adult healing time 2 weeks.

During school holidays, most KPJ hospitals offer package at discounted prices.

You really should think carefully. Masturbation & sex is altered permantly and not all in good ways.

Last time in my class of 20 over guys (all chinese), 2 were sunat... so i guess that's like 10 percent..

In uni I only know of one other.

My cousin lagi siao, say their kid urine squirt, so take him to sunat. Everytime holiday in hospital I see many chinese take their kids, maybe the latest trend. All around RM200, but doctor very important if you want even line without deep scar

Cons: walking in loose boxers will be very uncomfortable, baseketball also very bad when jump up and down very sensitive

Don't cut ur d*** juz bcoz u wanna have good sex!

Foreskin tight only will tear, u shud know if sex wud tear ur foresking or not base on masturbating... if it painful to masturbate with long hard storkes, then ur foreskin is tight.

before circumcision = gentler sex, don need to pump that hard, finish faster,
after circumsion = bit rougher, takes forever! tired!

Make sure you really luv ur g/f!!! To cut off a part of you to make her happy!

But u do also for selfish reason... get more oral action

Wat about other people who are circumsied? do you feel 'geli' when you run or play basket ball?

Freehand can leave behind holes in skin from thread. so clamp better.

Also for asian skin, the color difference is ugly. Brown suddenly become pink.

But iDk is right, hygene is very much easier, not smelly even after one day not bath.

my cousin no stich. the skin will be closed together with plastic ring. then after one week open, no stitch.

my stitch holes can still see

aku dulu pas potong was running around after 3 days! do on a saturday... if Monday public holiday, then u can get back to work on tuesday.

Just wear tight underwear not boxers to keep it in place, also good to keep the swelling down.

Can eat anything lar... just like when u get a cut anywhere else would you take care of your eating?

Added on November 9, 2007, 11:36 amActually is not so true... without foreskin, even after not bathing for two days... there is no smell as no urine is collected.

Having washed my foreskin for a good few years before circumcision, it is really hard to be clean especially the bottom part where the dirt collects and gets sticky or even all over the head as the slightest touch is too sensitive.

But after circumcision, I dont have to worry anymore!

Just imagine never having to cut your nails everyweek, or washing your hair everyday! That's how 'choppin' your foreskin feels!

Aiya, you taking the message out of context. The hygine part is of course secondary.

I'm just saying that after the primary reason (health) of circumcision, the feeling of not having to wash your penis everyday is like never having to cut your nails!

1. One week to heal, three before full action can begin.

2. Any procedure la, but laser is the fastest as it burns the blood vessels

After being circumcised for 6 years... NO regrets!

Pharmacies will have topical steriods

Most people stretch during showers - try doing it for 3 / 4 times during every bath for 1 2 months, you will see results.

African men turn to circumcision to fight AIDS

KIGALI, Rwanda - His friends were doing it. His high school biology teacher recommended it, for health reasons. Finally, his girlfriend insisted on it. So one morning about a year ago, Guillaume Gatera , 19, walked into a busy private hospital in Kigali, Rwanda's capital, plunked down about $40 and was circumcised.

It was less painful than I expected," the lanky student recalled recently, nursing a mango juice at a terrace cafe and exhibiting not a trace of squeamishness. "Actually, I felt proud. After I did it, three or four of my friends went and did it too."

It may seem an unlikely trend, but more and more men in Rwanda and other African countries are being circumcised, spurred by new medical research showing that it greatly reduces the risk of contracting HIV.

On a continent ravaged by AIDS, the health imperative is overturning centuries-old beliefs about circumcision, which most traditional African cultures practice as a male rite of passage but many societies do not. Only 1 in 5 men are thought to be circumcised in Rwanda , an overwhelmingly Christian nation in which the local word for the practice is "gusilamula," which means to make oneself a Muslim.

With experts worldwide now touting it as a simple and proven method of fighting HIV- though far from guaranteed- Rwandan health officials plan to launch a nationwide campaign this year to dispel myths and encourage men to be circumcised. The country's health minister, Innocent Nyaruhirira, said recently that the voluntary campaign would begin with soldiers, police officers and university students.

In a country where some 20,000 people die of AIDS every year, many young men aren't waiting, however. One nurse, Justin Gatete , said he'd done more than 1,000 circumcisions at a Kigali clinic last year alone.

"When it's something to do with life and death," said Gatera, the student, "you ignore the cultural aspect."

For years, epidemiologists have observed that HIV is more prevalent in pockets of the world, such as southern and parts of east Africa , where men tend not to be circumcised. But it was only last March- after studies in Kenya , Uganda and South Africa found that men who were medically circumcised were 60 percent less likely to acquire HIV during heterosexual sex- that the U.N. World Health Organization endorsed it "as an additional important intervention" against AIDS.

The findings had immediate implications for Africa , home to two-thirds of the 33 million people worldwide living with HIV. Unlike in the United States , AIDS in Africa has spread primarily through sex between men and women. Despite the growing availability of lifesaving drugs, the U.N. estimates that 1.6 million people on the continent died of AIDS-related illnesses last year.

Researchers think that cells in the foreskin of the penis are especially vulnerable to HIV. Surgically removing the foreskin through circumcision also thickens the skin on the penis head, helping to resist infection. U.N. experts think that widespread circumcision in Africa could prevent 5.7 million HIV cases and save 3 million lives over the next 20 years.

"It's the most effective prevention method we know about for heterosexual guys, if it's done properly," said Robert Bailey , an epidemiologist from the University of Illinois at Chicago who led the studies in Kenya and Uganda .

The Bush administration has pledged money from its mammoth, $15 billion global AIDS program to help make circumcision more widely and safely available in countries that want it. Already, Kenya , Swaziland and Zambia have decided to make the service available in public clinics.

In Rwanda , a tiny nation in the forested hills of central Africa , American government experts are helping the government formulate its campaign. Rwandan officials want to slash the cost of the procedure- as high as $55 at private hospitals and clinics, well out of reach of most people- and ensure that basic medical insurance covers it.

"We're not going to wake up one morning and have all men be circumcised. We need to see how best to implement this," said Anita Asiimwe , the director of the government's Treatment and Research AIDS Center.

Rwanda has made strides against AIDS thanks to a huge influx of money from the United States and other donors. Six years ago, the U.N. estimated that 8.9 percent of Rwandan adults were living with HIV; by last year that had fallen to 3 percent.

But Rwanda still has one of the poorest health-care systems in the world, with 400 doctors and about 3,600 nurses serving a population of more than 8 million. Experts warn that circumcisions that aren't performed by trained medics using modern equipment could have no benefit, and may even raise the risk of infection.

Gatete, the Kigali nurse, said that he saw dozens of cases of botched circumcisions every year, often done by ritual healers.

"There are infections, and I have to treat the wounds," Gatete said. "They don't do it the way you're supposed to. You can't trust those ceremonial methods."

Medical professionals also worry that men will engage in unsafe sex if they think that being circumcised is a cure-all. The U.S. Agency for International Development has said that "it is essential for countries that are considering incorporating male-circumcision delivery to place it within a comprehensive HIV-prevention package" that includes promoting condom use and other behaviors.

Health Minister Nyaruhirira has warned circumcised men not to think they have a "green light for promiscuity."

There's growing awareness of circumcision's benefits and limitations among the young and educated in Kigali . Science teachers tell their students that it's hygienic, and counsel them to have it done during Christmas or Easter holidays so they have a few days to heal.

Ebenezer Ntabwoba, 24, said high school friends had mocked him when they learned that he wasn't circumcised, calling him unclean. Before he went off to college last year, he went to a hospital and had it done.

He urges his friends and relatives to follow suit. Peer pressure among young men is a powerful force, he said, but there's another reason why guys are doing it.

"Girls don't like a guy unless he's been cut," Ntabwoba said. "They ask, 'Why are you like that?' That's a strong motivator."

wat happened.. you put it to action before it healed?

I could walk and go class after my circumcision! Just wear tight underwear you shud be fine. Tight underwear will also stop the swelling. Take out the stitches as soon as possible, if not the holes will be permanent.

Bloating is very normal, as in all surgeries. Yellow liquid is produced by body, to seal cuts. They only last for 1 week

go government hospital... very cheap

or go buy chicken and give the tok mudin

You will be able to walk/sit without problems on the second day... just don go running, no one will know the difference

Very true... especially in Asian society, this is not talked about much. Non-moslem parents should also give kids the choice of circumcision, because of the benefits...

Around RM200 (7 years ago)

Don have to go hospitals... have to pay for Operating Room and all.. any doctor with experience should be able to do it. Local anesthetics, don need general.

It's fairly a simple procedure, shudn't take more than 30 minutes. Can walk/drive after that. Next day can go back to work. Just wear tight underwear.

Any method also can, coz period for healing only differs a few days for each method. Plus, adults can take care better and are more disciplined, and not run or scratch etc...
