Penile Cancer Prevention Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment

Penile Cancer Prevention

Question: Is male Circumcision an effective prevention method against UTIs, HIV, and penile cancer? I read a study indicating this may (just may) be the case. Could anyone please clarify?

Answer: Nope - no evidence to suggest this is the case, and quite a lot to suggest it isn't. For example, check out parts of Africa where circumcision is massively prevalent, yet who have huge problems with HIV. The only way to avoid STIs is to wrap up, not cut off parts of your todger. Further more, genital cancer in males is more or less restricted to the love-spuds - and removal of the foreskin has no effect on this whatsoever.
