I live in Canada so health care is very accessible. No I have not done the procedure. I held it off because of fear. Everything happened when Mom took me in for a body check up. That was when the family physician discovered that I had phimosis. A condition when one cannot roll the foreskin back. I was told by both Mom and the family physician that I probably won't have to get circumcized but it is best that I see a urologist. According to the urologist, it turns out that I had to get circumcized. I felt the biggest sense of betrayal right there from both my family physician and mom.
When I left the urologist's office, I felt unsatisfied. All he said was that I needed the surgery. Wouldn't you want to know WHY you would need it? Of course! So I pleaded to mom to find another urologist for a second opinion but she wouldn't even listen to me. I was ignored and neglected. She would rather pay all her attention to my sister's high school graduation even when it was 10 months away. So by making my unhappiness of the situation crystal clear, I locked myself in my room. Video games and the same video game. I didn't talk to Mom unless it was about the procedure.
I avoided the surgery. Mom finally brought up the topic a year after seeing the urologist. Surprisingly it only took 30 minutes to convince her to forget about it. It was weird because I didn't feel a great deal of satisfaction when I had my way of not doing the procedure. I was relatively flat in emotions.
It was until a year later that I did some research on men's health because my phimosis wasn't getting any better. Apparently I am suffering from the pathological form of it because I forcefully stretched the opening. That's what happens when someone lacks knowledge of their own problems. Only if I was able to get a second opinion on my condition then I would not have made such a careless mistake, you know?
My mood feels relatively the same, in school, at home, and at work. Basically everywhere I go. Nothing excites me....
