Skin bridge (adult): To remove or not to remove?

[Neal Smith]

I had a bad circumcision as a kid and didn't realize I have a skin
bridge until now. Should I get it removed or not? Is this a very
straight forward and fast procedure and can be done by any urologist?
Thanks!

Well, it depends on how bad it is and how you feel about it.

I oppose infant circumcision, but if an adult wants to get himself
circumcused, to me that's his decision. Same here. You evaluate how
you feel about the skin bridge and you make your choice.

I think a urologist might be a good place to start.

Go here:
www.familypractice.com/journal/2002/ v15.n06/1506.08/1506-08.pdf

That should be all one link on one line. If it won't work, go to
Google and search for "office management of penile skin bridges"

That should be unique enough to bring up that single paper.

It apparently is not a particularly complicated procedure.

Good luck.

Skin bridges are usually an infection focus, and sometimes makes sex act
painful, unaesthetic and umpleasant

Sounds like a foreskin, so I would recommend removal.

funnily enough,
i too thought my skin bridge was normal and that every man too had one

They seem remarkably common. There are more skin bridges than any
other kind of complication at

Actor Rupert Everett has one. Porn "actor" Marcus Iron has two.

You find this out when you were going down on them? Lucky that because
usually you're facing the other way to see aren't you?

More than likely the circ was fine, the parents just need to push the remaining
skin back once in awhile. Actually the same thing can happen in uncut boys too!
Go to an MD..10min no big deal.

1.Skin bridges are due BAD CIRCUMCISIONS only. You learn nothing about the
links and information hundreds of times posted here?. Simply do a search on
google and learn before writing nonsense.

2. Bridges are not phimosis, bridges can't be cured "pushing the remaining
skin back once in a while"...(in most circumcisions, specially on Merkin
circs, that are brutal, what "remaining" skin, silly?). Solution for bridges
is surgical only. It's fast, but surgical, and most men don't even realize
they have this ugly and sometimes dangerous bridge problem. They simply
think "every dick is like this..."

3. Bridges can't happen on uncut boys since foreskin naturally and fully
separates from glans without bridges if this is left alone.

4. Don't try to deny bridges as a problem connected with bad circumcisions.

Yes, if they are left alone, but they can happen on intact penises.
The explanation is that the foreskin must have been prematurely
forcibly retracted. The moral is the same, JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Yes, perhaps this can happen due to ignorant dads or moms obsessed about a
baby penis not looking like the nude and dry stick his dad's is. This drives
them to forcibly retract foreskin, that can SERIOUSLY damage the glans
tissue. Only one word: ignorance about male anathomy, in both people who has
been circumcised (even ignoring millions of men around the world have
foreskin) and pediatricians who don't know other than the mutilated penis
(their own first) and can't give advise about the intact state of a babyboy.
If this is left alone, nothing happens. Phimosis is a rare problem that, if
in teenage didn't correct itself (most of times does), some creams and
stretching can fix. In EXTREME cases surgery (a partial circumcision enough
for the glans to have free way out, not the carnage Merkins apply to the
smallest problem...) can help. This phimosis obsession is silly.
Circumcision itself causes more problems, counting dryness, bridge problems,
bad circumcisions and unsensitiviness than being intact causes itself.

Yes, I agree, but sometimes one must reply them, unless we want them to
spread misinformation every time they want. They don't cheat us, but cheat
others who come here looking for information or guide, this is when we must
drop something stating they are wrong.
Their misinformation can be replied. That we must not reply is their free
flame or personal attack

What other ranting and raving anti-circumcision crackpot in Spain or
anywhere else uses that non-word? as when he wrote:

I wouldn't take that page too seriously. It says a foreskin is preferrable
since it helps reach a woman's "G-Spot". There is no such thing as a
'G-Spot', ask your doctor next time ya see him.

Can skin bridge removal be done by a general pratice family doctor or
it must be done by an urologist?

GET IT DONE! I had one and finally got it removed, simple in office procedure, no stitches, quick recovery, just be careful to keep it clean (and try NOT to get hard while it heals). Make sure the doctor is experienced at the in office method, it does not have to be major surgery at all in most cases. ONLY regret is not having it done YEARS sooner!

[s***@gmail.com]

I just had this surgery done... Except my skin bridge was pretty extreme and about an inch wide and had a tiny tunnel going under it. I ended up getting dissolving stitches on both ends. Its been about 10 days and I can say that I am very happy with the results. I had no idea what a normal circumcised penis looked like til now... I was originally exoierencing tearing around it during intercourse which is what lead me to get the surgery. I had no idea what it was until I saw a urologist. Apparantly getting circumcision is a bad idea in general... Just say no moms and dads! Reduces length and girth and this kind of crap can happen...

[t***@gmail.com]

Did you have it removed at the urologist office or did you have to go to a surgery center? Also how much did if cost? Mine seems very similar to yours and I'm trying to gather information

I have a skind bridge and my urologist offered me treatment with emla cream which freezes the area and he said hew will tear it after the hour of applying. This sounds nrutal to me and im scared. Does thi method seem to be ok

Emla cream is a local anesthetic and it is commonly used in skin bridge removal. The cream is applied and once the numbing has set in the urologist will painlessly remove the adhesion. It is not a complicated procedure and usually gives excellent results.

Some earlier contributors here are under the impression than adhesions happen only in circumcised men, as a result of improper healing after the procedure. In fact the condition also occurs in uncircumcised men, as a result of improper separation of the foreskin from the penis during childhood.
