Do Foreskin In Penis Of The Baby Cause Problems Later In Life?
Why do American doctors think foreskins are wrong? I know so many men who have lived full healthy lives with foreskins, but my American doctor acts like foreskins cause diseases. I think it's ridiculous, why do American doctors think they need to remove my baby's genitals?

Hi,
Having fore skin on glans is not wrong but if it is very tight or having pin point opening is not advisable as it is difficult to avert and so there might be lack of hygiene resulting in deposition of smegma leading to Bellano-prosthitis.
This is a chronic condition and there might be having rare risk of having cancer.
So if foreskin is loose and can be averted easily, no need of circumcision operation.
Foreskin maintains sensitivity of glans so sex life is more enjoyable.
Ok and take care.
