A member asked:
Can you please explain why circumcision is important?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Religion & hygiene: Essential for muslims, jews & many other cultures. Imporant for hygiene if foreskin can not be retracted, but skin does not normally retract until well into childhood. Penile cancer is virtually always related to poor penile hygiene. Studies in africa have shown that circumcision could prevent 50% of hiv/aids cases.
