CIRCUMCISION

Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin (the skin covering the tip of the penis) is gently removed. During the procedure, the foreskin is separated from the glans, and a protective device may be used before it is carefully cut away.

Why is circumcision done?

Circumcision can have several health benefits, including:

✅ Lower risk of infections – Babies and children are less likely to develop infections under the foreskin.

✅ Easier hygiene – Cleaning is simpler and can help prevent irritation.

✅ Reduced risk of penile cancer – Although rare, circumcision further lowers the chance of developing cancer of the penis.
