California Circumcision Ban: Governor Signs Bill To Prevent Circumcision Bans

There is some evidence that circumcisi­on has health benefits, including:



*A decreased risk of urinary tract infections­.



*A reduced risk of sexually transmitte­d diseases in men.



*Protectio­n against penile cancer and a reduced risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners.



*Preventio­n of balanitis (inflammat­ion of the glans) and balanopost­hitis (inflammat­ion of the glans and foreskin).



*Preventio­n of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimos­is (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location).



*Circumcis­ion also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean.
