Circumcision
the procedure, its benefits, and risks
What is circumcision?
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin. The foreskin is a skin flap covering the head of the penis (also called the glans penis). Circumcision is a fairly common practice across the world, where it may be done due to cultural, religious, or medical purposes. It is typically performed on newborn males, although even adults may undergo it.
