Hi Sasi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
There is no rule that you need to undergo removal of foreskin by circumcision procedure only when there is an indication.
It doesn't have any adverse effects and is safe to undergo the procedure.
It is a minor surgical procedure which is operated by any Surgeon.
Even in the long run, there is not adverse effects whatsoever. In fact, it may offer protection against cancer of penis.
Kindly go ahead without any second thought about it if you wish to.
All the best.
