Advantages of Circumcision Surgery

It is a proven fact that circumcision can be very beneficial not only for people struggling with penile and foreskin conditions but also for good maintenance of genital hygiene and general well-being. Some advantages that are commonly associated with circumcision are: Easier Hygiene: Ease of hygiene is one of the significant benefits of undergoing a circumcision surgery. As the foreskin is removed, it becomes much easier to regularly and thoroughly clean under the foreskin. This helps prevent excess accumulation of any harmful bacteria and smegma under the foreskin and minimizes the chances of a penis infection. Effective Treatment of Foreskin-Related Problems: A circumcision surgery is generally considered to be a safe and effective treatment for various foreskin-related issues such as phimosis, paraphimosis, balanitis, posthitis, and balanoposthitis.

Decreased Risk of Urinary Tract Infections: Urinary Tract Infection or UTI is an infection that can occur in any part of the urinary system. UTI generally occurs due to poor genital hygiene and accumulating bacteria, microbes, and smegma under the foreskin. As the foreskin is removed, it becomes easier to clean the penis glans and wash away any excess smegma or bacteria. Decreased Risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections: Studies show that circumcised men are less likely to contract any Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) such as herpes, HIV, HPV, and Chlamydia as compared to uncircumcised men. However, this protection against STIs is considered modest. Proper use of protection, such as a condom, during intercourse remains essential. Reduced Risk of Penile Cancer: It has been found that infant male circumcision significantly reduces the risk of penile cancer. Although cancer of the penis is rare, it is even less common in circumcised men.
