I’ve been reading a lot in the news lately about circumcision. For many it is a traditional practice. For others it is a choice made because of previous generations. And for a growing number of others, it is avoided. It has long been believed that circumcision is more hygienic, but more and more people are disagreeing, stating that circumcision is a brutal, unnecessary practice for newborns and men have the right to make that decision as an adult. However, this article from the USA Today brings back the argument that the foreskin can carry bacteria, including the human papillomavirus (HPV). The bottom line is to do the research before you make that decision for a newborn (or yourself as an adult) and, in cases like this, consider the HPV vaccine for males, too.
