It's a local anaesthetic jobby. You can ask for GA but I doubt they'll make that option available for such a small operation.
I myself wouldnt call it a small op, it makes me just cringe, if I had to get it done for whatever reason, I would have to put under. Its almost too gross/terrible to imagine it happening
Can i ask the reasons an adult would get this done?
Just curious:o
Sure mine was due to "phimosis" I had lived with all my life but was getting recurring UTI's so they suggested taking the hood off. Since then never have another UTI.

But it was an unnecessary procedure as there are alternatives which are now regarded as much more favourable.
I had it done as an adult. I can't imagine them not doing it under a GA. It was very painful for weeks afterwards, particularly when I'd wake up in agony at 6am in the morning with a stiffy.
But it was an unnecessary procedure as there are alternatives which are now regarded as much more favourable.
I should add the alternatives had been tried, steriod creams etc and made no difference. In the link above the photo I could not even retract mine that far after trying the alternatives.
It has come off, no more UTI's. Sex life is fine no issues there no loss of sensation etc.
Although I had to have a second operation a few days later as I was internally bleeding, turns out they had caught a blood vessel during the procedure.
Coincidentally my 4 year old son has just had his done today, his foreskin was too tight and he kept getting infections He was put under general anesthetic at around 10am, we would've been home by 1pm but he was refusing to go for a wee so we only got home about an hour ago

A friend had his under a local not a general anasthetic.

But in most cases the medical reasons can be resolved through non-invasive options.

You're welcome. Did you lose your lunch?
Which reminds me of the joke, "It's my penis, and I'll wash it as fast as I like".
Thats fine if you could retract it, but far as I can remember I could never retract it and just ignored it until I could ignore it no more.
They put me to sleep for it.

At first I wasnt going to look at that page, I was expecting rashes and redness and grossness, as far a willys go, it wasnt that ugly tbh
Best decision I've made in my life.
circlist is great site for researching the subject.
Good luck
