Hello 
Don't harbor wrong notions about cicumcision as it has many benefits like

Genital hygiene will be improved as germs cannot hide under the foreskin. This procedure can decrease the risks of sexually transmitted diseases.
Some more benefits of circumcision are that, when you have this procedure done you can prevent Balanitis. This problem occurs when the foreskin starts to get inflamed and will have itching and burning around this area. As many as one out of three people will experience this if they have diabetes and one out of ten males who do not have any other problems can have this ailment.
Having this procedure done can reduce the risk of cancer of the penis. This is not a common form of cancer but it is good not to take any risks.
It is easier to keep the area clean and is better for you and your partner. This area is very vulnerable to germs and infections. One of the benefits of circumcision surgery is by removing the foreskin you can cut down these risks considerably, including the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
As you can see there are many benefits of circumcision surgery. It is a minor surgery and takes about an hour to complete. You can go home the same day but should take bed rest for a few hours. 
Thanks
