Old work: The reason is that the strains of hpv that cause cervical cancer flourish under a foreskin. Good personal hygiene, both getting the hpv vaccine, getting regular pap smears and treatment as required are all helpful -- the last basically prevents death from cervical cancer. Late circumcision won't affect this. If you love one another ; this is the right match, then i wish you joy together.

Uncircumcised: Uncircumcised men become infected by hpv more often, have higher incidents of lesions on the penis, and have a harder time clearing the hpv virus from the body.Female partners of circumcised men had a lower prevalence and incidence of hr-hpv infection, and women married to circumcised men have lower cervical cancer risk. Cervical cancer is a preventable cancer- papsmear is important screening test.
