Circumcision offers several health benefits, primarily related to hygiene and reduced risk of infections. Removing the foreskin makes it easier to maintain genital hygiene, potentially decreasing the likelihood of conditions like balanitis and urinary tract infections. Studies also suggest that circumcision reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, genital herpes, and HPV. Additionally, circumcision may lower the incidence of penile cancer and prevent issues like phimosis (tight foreskin) and paraphimosis (foreskin trapped behind the head of the penis). While the decision to circumcise is often influenced by cultural, religious, and personal factors, these potential health advantages are significant considerations for individuals and communities.
