A) Circumcision is surgical removal of the foreskin [the skin and mucosal tissue that covers the glans (head) of the penis].

Q) What are the reasons to perform a Circumcision?
A) Circumcision is routinely performed for cultural or religious reasons. The common medical grounds for which Circumcision is performed are: -

CIRCUMCISION
Phimosis or tight foreskin (other modes of treatment for phimosis include - steroid creams, stretching & preputioplasty).

CIRCUMCISION
Infection of gangrene of the foreskin


Q) When should a Circumcision be done?
