Circumcision and Premature Ejaculation:
- Circumcision is not a reliable or recommended treatment for premature ejaculation (PE).
- PE involves ejaculating sooner than desired and can have complex causes, including psychological and medical factors.
Understanding Circumcision:
- It involves the surgical removal of the foreskin, often for medical, cultural, or religious reasons.
- Scientific evidence does not support it as a cure for PE.
Effective Treatments for PE:
- Behavioral techniques and counseling.
- Topical anesthetics and medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.
Recommendation:
- Consult a urologist or sexual health specialist for personalized advice and treatment options. Avoid considering circumcision solely as a solution for PE without professional guidance.

You can also drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
