18 years old.. Circumcision performed during high school and the healing process until recovery..

I was naturally circumcised due to persistent opinions from peers and my parents, but I ended up having circumcision surgery.

There was also a smell that felt like burning flesh, I saw blood, and the process of healing was difficult in many ways, making it a challenging and tough time.

Actually, after doing it, it wasn't as bad as I thought, and it definitely seems to help with cleanliness, so I am now somewhat satisfied.

When it comes to circumcision, people often say it's like catching a whale, but I remember being taken by my parents to the urology clinic when I was young. They say it's better to do it when you're young, so I went to look into circumcision... I didn't want to be taken to the hospital, so I threw a tantrum and said I didn't want to have the procedure.

Was it just luck that I happened to have a natural circumcision? They said it's okay not to do it if you don't want to?! I remember crying while eating a pork cutlet at that time..

However, my parents did not give up... Even after that, they forcibly took me a few times to undergo circumcision surgery.

I was stubborn and insisted on only going to the urology building, so I managed to get through somehow.

As I progressed to high school and joined the soccer team, I often went to the bathhouse with my friends. All my friends had circumcisions, and I felt a bit embarrassed to be the only one with a foreskin. Was it around that time?

My parents started subtly tempting me by saying they would give me 300,000 won as an allowance if I get circumcised.

For some reason, my friends around me kept saying, "I would have done it right away," so I gathered my courage and went with my mother... Now that I think about it, I wonder what kind of bravado that was.

While I was anesthetized and lying down, I could also smell the burning flesh smell... After carefully wrapping with a pressure bandage, performing the circumcision, and suturing, it was quite uncomfortable.

Above all, I think the hardest part was having difficulty urinating.

I can't forget the pain of removing the stitches...

After the surgery, I ate pork cutlet with my parents...

As I think about it now, like the meme where someone drags you along saying they'll buy you pork cutlet, I wonder why it was pork cutlet in the first place, haha.

Still, it was hygienic and now I feel more comfortable. During the treatment, I was also a bit embarrassed.

I think I was able to overcome it well because my friends cheered me on and my parents also took care of me.
