Cancer. Uncircumcised
men very rarely develop
penile cancer; circumcised
men never do. On the other
hand, female partners of un-
circumcised men often de-
velop cervical cancer, while
the partners of circumcised
men enjoy a far lower in-
cidence. In both cases, the
culprit appears to be human
papillomavirus, which more
frequently invades uncircum-
cised men. Even so, gynecolo-
gists point out that the
strongest predisposing fac-
tors in cervical cancer are a
history of intercourse at an
early age and multiple sex
partners, not an uncircum-
cised partner.
Venereal Disease. Circumci-
sion confers no absolute im-
munity against sexually
transmitted diseases. Wheth-
er it offers any protection at
all against venereal disease is
unclear. As the Academy
statement notes, "Published
reports suggest that chan-
croid, syphilis, human papil-
lomavirus, and herpes sim-
plex virus type 2 infection are
more frequent in uncircum-
cised men (but) methodologic
problems render these reports
inconclusive."
Hygiene. Most of the
special risks that uncircum-
cised men face, from penile
and cervical cancer to phi-
mosis and increased venereal
disease, result from careless
hygiene. While every man
needs to pay close attention
to cleanliness, an uncircum-
cised penis does require a lit-
tle extra care. After infancy,
once the foreskin has separ-
ated entirely from the penis,
boys and men need to retract
the foreskin and clean thor-
oughly under it. Circumcised
men, however, need only the
same attention with soap and
water that they give to the
rest of their bodies.
Given all the evidence in its
favor, it appears likely that
circumcision will again attain
the near-universal popularity
it enjoyed in this country
before 1971.
