• Increased genital hygiene – Circumcision surgery helps in keeping a man’s genitalia clean. When a male person is uncircumcised there is tendency of dirt accumulating underneath the foreskin. Over time, this accumulated dirt causes bacterial and fungal infections which may prove fatal in the long run. Cleaning is also another issue when it comes to uncircumcised penises. It can be difficult to clean underneath of the foreskin and that is the prime reason why there is always accumulation of dirt. However, for a circumcised penis on the other hand, it is very easy to clean up. There is no place or space for dirt to build up and thus it is easy to stay clean and avoid fungal and bacterial infections.
• Hygiene for your sexual partner – Circumcision in Bangalore is a favoured practice for the hygiene of your sexual partner. Your partner will be better protected in terms of cleanliness when you are circumcised. A circumcised penis is clean and easy to clean as well. Your sexual partner would not run the risks of infections due to bacteria and viruses that may be found underneath the foreskin.
• Reduced risk of Urinary Tract Infection – Urinary Tract Infection or UTI as it is commonly known is not a very common kind of infection. However, this infection is reported to less likely occur on circumcised men. Uncircumcised men and babies run a higher risk of getting UTI unlike their circumcised counterparts. Thus, it is beneficial and important to undertake a circumcision surgery in Bangalore.
• Reduced risk of penile cancer – Penile cancer is also not a very common type of cancer. However, studies and statistics show that uncircumcised men run a higher risk of getting penile cancer as compared to circumcised men. Any type of cancer can be fatal and this is not something that you may want to risk your life with. Thus, in order to stay safe and free of contracting penile cancer, it is important that you get a safe circumcision operation.
• Reduced risk of sexually transmitted diseases – There are quite a number of sexually transmitted diseases. Nonetheless, sexually transmitted diseases are often times fatal or may cause severe complications if they go unchecked. One of the most fatal sexually transmitted disease is the HIV virus. Studies show that circumcision reduces the chances of a man contracting HIV virus and other sexually transmitted diseases by up to sixty percent. This is a big margin and it can be the difference between life and death. Remember also that the HIV virus has no cure and it has killed hundreds of thousands of people across the globe. One effective way to reduce the risk of STD’s is to get circumcised.
• Reduces your female partner’s risk of cervical cancer – Cervical cancer is the leading type of cancer that affects women. Cervical cancer is caused by a number of reasons and research has also shown that women who have uncircumcised partners run a higher risk of getting this type of cancer.
• Some women prefer circumcised men due to personal preference – Everybody has their own preferences. There are a good number of women who would prefer a circumcised partner to an uncircumcised one. This is a purely personal preference or choice and it may vary greatly with different kinds of people.

Above are some of the major benefits associated with circumcision in Bangalore. However, there are also other medical conditions that can only be effectively cured or put under control by circumcision. These conditions include: Balanitis, Phimosis, paraphimosis and tight foreskin.

Circumcision has been practised by a number of communities and religions for centuries but there are also other cultures that are opposed to circumcision.  There are many anti-circumcision movements with several arguments about for why circumcision should not be carried out.
There are also quite a number of myths that are meant to misguide and misinform people on circumcision.
Here are some of the myths that one should be wary of:

• Circumcision reduces sexual drive – This is a widely spread myth that is completely false.  It should be noted that studies suggest that a good number of women prefer having circumcised partners to uncircumcised ones.  Sexual satisfaction for a man or woman is much more than just the foreskin.  Thus the presence or lack of the foreskin is not a vital factor when it comes to sexual satisfaction and drive.  In fact the sexual drive or libido of a man is completely unrelated to the foreskin and there is no scientific evidence to support this myth whatsoever.
• Circumcision is equivalent to amputation – Suggesting that circumcision is the equivalent to amputation is an absolute exaggeration.  One might argue that removing a perfectly functioning body part is wrong but this is only done for medical reasons and for the greater good.
• Circumcision is a dangerous surgical procedure – This is another gross misinformation and misconception. Circumcision is a short operational procedure that only takes about twenty minutes.  This procedure is carried out under anaesthesia to reduce the amount of pain that the patient may experience.
  When circumcision is done by highly trained and qualified surgeons and medical personnel like the ones at American Hospital Bangalore, then it is completely safe and quick.  Normally for people with special blood clotting conditions the doctors may advice otherwise in order to prevent the risk of severe bleeding after the surgery procedure.
