Anyone have experience with an elderly male parent or spouse getting circumcised for health reasons?

A family member had his surgery in his 60s and regretted to his death that he waited so long to have the cut.

IMHO, even with knowing a family member's belief, a 90+-year-old man? Not ever, ever would I see a need when the pain and healing it would take to recover negates any benefit that might take place.

The reason circumcision is done is for cleanliness.

Is he getting infections? Is he in a NH where an aide is not making sure he is clean? I agree that the problem will be it will be painful and he will fool with any type of bandage they will put on.

What health issue does he have that would ever warrant such a painful procedure? And that could get infected? Not at 90+. Not with late stage ALZ. It would still be very iffy for even a younger man with normal cognitive abilities. This is a hard no on all fronts, no matter what the reasoning is for this procedure.

What "health" reason can possibly exist to warrant such a surgery on a 90+ year old man with late stage Alzheimer's???? My mother had a cancerous lesion on her chin and I told the dermatologist to ignore it when she was 95 with advanced dementia and I called in hospice instead. This is a ludicrous thing to even consider and I cannot imagine ANY doctor who'd be willing to perform such a surgery, either. With late stage Alzheimer's at play, the elder would have a terrible time recuperating from such a thing and keeping his hands off of the area to allow it to heal.

Two thumbs down to this idea, in my opinion
