Circumcision
is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin, the fold of skin covering the head of the penis. This practice is performed for various reasons, including cultural, religious, and medical considerations. In some cultures, circumcision is a rite of passage or a religious ritual, while in others, it may be recommended for medical conditions like phimosis (tight foreskin) or to reduce the risk of certain infections.
Circumcision is typically performed shortly after birth or during adolescence, and it’s a relatively simple outpatient procedure. While it has potential benefits, such as improved hygiene and reduced risk of some infections, it also remains a topic of debate and personal choice.
