REASONS FOR CIRCUMCISION

Circumcisions are carried out for religious, aesthetic, hygienic, personal and medical reasons.

In adult male, circumcisions are carried out for the following reasons:

• A tight foreskin that cannot be retracted (Phimosis)
• A foreskin that retracts but cannot be pulled back easily (Paraphimosis)
• Recurrent infections under the foreskin (Balanitis)
• A chronically inflamed foreskin (Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans)
• Tearing of the foreskin or pain during sexual activity
• Protection against penile cancer
• Urinary tract infection
• Some sexually transmitted diseases in men such as HIV.
