Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect ofcircumcision on sexual satisfaction perception in maleswith stable sexual partners.METHODS: Twenty two heterosexual male adults, sexua-lly active with a stable partner, scheduled for circumci-sion for medical (MR) or esthetic reasons (ER) at our clinicbetween June 2005 and June 2006 were included inthis study. Men with severe erectile dysfunction (ED) wereexcluded from the study. These men were surveyed toassess erectile function, penile sensitivity, esthetical pe-nis’ appearance, sexual activity and overall satisfactionbefore the procedure and 12 weeks after. Categoricalscores were evaluated with Chi square.RESULTS: Surgical indications were: Phimosis 50%, ba-lanitis 18.2%, condyloma 13.6% and esthetics 13.6%.After the procedure 82% of patients referred an upgradeon the quality of their sexual intercourse, 4.5% referred itdiminished and 13.5% referred no change at all. 95.5%of the patients felt better with the appearance of theirpenis. Almost all areas of sexual satisfaction weren’t sta-tistical significant except for the improvement in erectilefunction (p 0.0007) and perception of sexual events (p0.04). This improvement on erectile function was repor-ted as shifts from mild to normal on International Indexof Erectile Function 5 scores. Premature ejaculation wasobserved in 31.8%(7) before the procedure and diminis-hed to 13.6%(3).CONCLUSION: Because of our statistic limitations andmix indications for circumcision in the study, we cannotconclude that circumcision might bring certain benefit onsexual satisfaction by itself but certainly does not bringdeleterious effects and, when dissatisfaction is associatedwith local problems, some benefit could be expected
