A member asked:
What is considered best: to get circumcised or to stay with the forskin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Circumcision: Indications for circumcision are controversial but normally circumcision is done for religious reasons, children with recurrent uti's(controversial), if you are unable to retract your foreskin for hygienic purposes and to prevent cancer of the penis; diabetics with recurrent penile infections. If you have none of those problems, no need to circumcise.
