Kind of is, need to be circumcised for them to be able to introduce a camera to check if I have bladder cancer - not sure anyone medical actually thinks I have but, given family history, better safe than sorry.

Huh ?
When I was being checked for prostate cancer, I had the fibre optic camera inserted all the way into my bladder......(Fascinating to see your insides, in a weird sort of way.)
There was no talk of having to be circumcised.
Unless they did the dirty while they had me distracted, and I was watching the monitor.

No.....Just checked.

Anyway....Good luck again. 'I'

I went under the knife at the ripe old age of 47.  It went better than I expected.  Easier ways of losing weith though.

Hope all goes Well.

Thought kats had to be neutered at 8 weeks ?

At the risk of TMI, foreskin does not retract so doesn't allow the camera to be introduced into the err ... aperture. Hence the op. Having been given the impression weeks and weeks ago that this would happen soon , I'm still waiting for a date. No watching monitors for me, apparently I'll be out cold ... thank goodness!

Vasectomy was nothing.

My foreskin has never fully withdrawn - didn't know it was supposed to.

I had a vasectomy at 20. That's one that really should be done under general anaesthetic; it didn't hurt, but I kept waiting for it to, and the thing is, you can feel what's happening. (shudders)

I had one about ten years ago. It wasn't the fact that I could feel what was going on that unnerved me. It was the smell.
I thought someone was frying sausages; then realised it was me!

Thats how you got the kids!

I had the snip about 7 years ago - It was sureeal.  It was done under a local anesthetic and while the Doctor was playing with hisn scalpel we were talking about Formula 1 and the Grand Prix the previous weekend.

My only concern was that he was not concentrating enough- fortunately all still worked ok afterwards.

On a more worrying note:- The guy i worked shifts with has had to have a vesectomt TWICE !! 

He had  a vesectomy and 7 years later his wife was pregnant.  Obviously this caused some consternation to them both.  They went to see the consultant and he said " Sometimes the tubes rejoin, it most commonly happens after about 7 years, its not unusual !"  He was still a little dubious until he went to have it done again.  The doctor doing the operation said "You obviously had had this done before cos I can see where the tube has rejoined).

I had the snip about 13 years ago - I can see why they get called plums - they swelled up and went purple.

I was snipped about 20 years ago. Why do they always have the nice looking nurses doing the pre-op stuff? Thoroughly disconcerting!

Not being completely anaethatised, aneathatised  knocked out was strange and yes, you can feel everything it just didn't hurt; the pull of the stitches felt a bit strange though. The surgeon and I were discussing football most of the time.

I was lucky, two days later I was back at work.

Someone I knew had it done and one of his testicles was well swollen. Two weeks off work recovery jobbie.

Stitches!  I had plasters.

Sorry, at first glance I thought you had written plasterers! That got me wondering...

This is really an anglo-saxon thing.
You won't find that many men with vasectomy in the south of Europe.

You mean among the anti-birth control Catholic regions!

NO RELIGON, SEX or politics in the mess.
