Patient's question:
I've never had any problems before, but my girlfriend wants me to get a circumcision.Doctor's answer:
Performing a circumcision can reduce the incidence of cervical cancer in women. Excessive foreskin in men is also highly detrimental to women. When a husband has excessive foreskin, smegma from the foreskin can enter the female reproductive tract during intercourse, leading to chronic and long-term irritation of the cervix, which may trigger cervical cancer. Surveys have found that the wives of uncircumcised men have a cervical cancer incidence rate eight times higher than the wives of men who have undergone circumcision.
