Male circumcision is proven many benefits. In addition to maintaining penile hygiene, circumcision also serves to prevent transmission of HIV and even cancer. More about the benefits of circumcision see article below:
Sydney, far, the benefits of circumcision in males is always associated with the risk of transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Now the benefits of circumcision increased after it was discovered that the penile skin cuts could prevent cancer in that section.
Brian Morris, MD, a researcher from the University of Sydney said the risk of penile cancer in men who are not circumcised is 1:1,000. That number is actually smaller, but still greater than the risk in men who were circumcised yaini 1:50,000.
"Penile cancer is more common in countries that residents rarely circumcised male. But the relationship of circumcision to cancer is not just a kind of trend, there ilmuah reason behind it," said MensHealth.com Morrris as quoted from Saturday (23 / 7 / 2011).
According to Morris, tight skin on the front makes the genitals of men who are not circumcised so difficult to clean. If the pile, the dirt at that section may trigger inflammation or inflammation that is one trigger cancer of the penis.
Another underlying factor is infection Pappoloma Human Virus (HPV), a type of virus that is transmitted through unprotected sex and in women can lead to cervical cancer or cervical. Condition of the closed head of the penis tends to damp, so loved by HPV.
Although HPV infection can be prevented, Morris says that vaccination alone is not enough. The current vaccine can only prevent infection of 2 of about 20 types of HPV, so sometimes it takes other preventative efforts in this regard circumcision.
Even if it chose not to be circumcised, Morris emphasized that men always maintain the cleanliness of the genitals, especially in parts of the closed foreskin (skin covering the glans). How to clean it is to pull the foreskin back, and then cleaned with a shower.
