Background: Male circumcision is a widely practiced procedure with significant implications for sexual and reproductive health. Debates over its benefits and harms span various fields, necessitating a comprehensive review.

Aim: This review aims to identify recent trends in adult circumcision research, focusing on its impact on sexual health and function, psychological and emotional effects, and cultural and social influences.

Methodology: An integrative review of 17 articles from PubMed and PsycInfo was conducted using keywords related to male circumcision and its psychological, trauma, and health effects. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools were used for quality assessment.

Results: The findings are synthesized into three main themes: sexual health and function, psychological and emotional effects, and cultural and social influences. Significant medical benefits of circumcision include reduced rates of sexually transmitted infections and improvements in specific sexual conditions. Psychological impacts are noted in a small group of men, often influenced by negative societal norms.

Conclusions: Circumcision affects individuals beyond the physical procedure, influencing psychological well-being and cultural identity. The review emphasizes the need for personalized medical advice and psychological support to address both the benefits and impacts. Future research and policies should consider these multifaceted effects for acomprehensive understanding of male circumcision.
