Is there any dangers in not being circumcised as an adult man?

Question

My boyfriend isn't circumcised and i was just curious because i've heard an uncircumcised penis can cause cervical cancer in women.

Answer 1

he just needs to keep it clean

just wash it for him before and after sex

Answer 2

There's no inherent dangers with a guy being uncircumcised, it's more of everything else. An uncircumcised penis by itself can't cause cervical cancer, that only applies if he has HPV and has had sex with 4-6+ women recently; but at that rate, it wouldn't make a difference if he were circumcised or not.

As long as he washes under his foreskin at least once a day so it's kept clean, the health difference between an uncircumcised penis and a circumcised penis will be pretty much non-existent. If there's anything offensive left, wash it for him - I'm sure he'll enjoy that. :P

Answer 3

The primary risk associated with an intact penis is thought to be penile cancer, a rare condition affecting 10 in every million American men annually.

In the U.S. uncut men contract the disease at three times the rate of circumcised men, yet American Cancer Society officials cite lower penile-cancer rates in countries that do not practice circumcision.

Studies swing back and forth regarding a correlation between early urinary-tract infections and circumcision. They are similarly inconclusive about the foreskinned being more susceptible to STDs; the latest research, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found “no significant differences between circumcised and uncircumcised men in their likelihood of contracting sexually transmitted diseases.”

Answer 4

NO, IT CANNOT CAUSE YOU OR HIM ANY TROUBLE!!!!

I dont know why americans think things like that. It cannot cause you trouble, or else women all over the world would be in trouble. The US is one of the only places in the world that boys are circumcised. There is no REAL medical reason to do it. As long as they wash, there is no issue for anybody. But that goes for women too doesnt it? If you dont wash, you can get an infection, same goes for uncircumcised men. Very few men outside the US get it done. When they do it is usually for religiouse reasons. So, if there was a problem dont you think all those billions and billions of people who have foreskin, wouldnt?

Answer 5

An uncircumcized male is more prone to infection which he can then transmit to his partner. And uncircumcized males have a higher rate of penile cancer. And accumulated smega in and around the folds of the forehead has been linked to cervical cancer. However, there remains much debate over this last issue. In the end, you will have to make your own decisions about what you want to do.

Answer 6

Absolutely not...the only real reason (MOSTLY - don't freak out people) is for cosmetic or religious reasons. When I had my twin sons, I did a random "poll" of every hospital staff member I ran across and they ALL told me not to do it for medical reasons because there simply was no reason. It is just a painful procedure otherwise.

Now my one son had some problem easing his foreskin back by the time he was six. My family doc told me he may need a circumcision then, but the urologist we saw just prescribed a gentle cream and he now has no problems. As long as it is kept clean regularly, then he has no worries....

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

Don't know about the health effects on their sex partners. However, uncircumcised men are more prone to infection.

Here is a link to an article about male circumcision and HIV.

Of course, if you are monogamous you shouldn't have to worry about that.

Answer 8

Cervical cancer can only occur if the woman does not have her Pap Tests like she should. An uncircumcised grown man can have frequent pains in the testicles.

Answer 9

u need not to be afraid of cervical cancer.in fact ur boyfriend is much more prone to having STDs(sexually trasmitted diseases) like AIDS...it has been proven by studies that men who aren't circumcised are 5 times more vulnerable to getting these diseases than circumcised ones...thats why sum ppl get their penises circumcised even though their religion does no make it compulsory.....
at this age ur boyfriend would not like to be circumcesed and i dont think he needs to unless he keeps one partner....so tell him to be faihful or else he'll have to face the consequences.....also take my advice and always use a condom while having sex which will prevent u from getting STDs.....

Answer 10

I'm not sure about that but I know that him not being circumised causes him to have bacteria after having sex which he can give to you and the skin traps other germs that could be given to you if the 2 of you are having sex. If you are going to have sex then, use a condom because before he was with you, you might not know his other partners and he might now their other partners and an STD OR AIDS don't care who the dwell in. Just be careful!

Answer 11

an uncircumcised penis cannot cause cancer, although, when a man is not circumcised the foreskin holds more dirt and can cause you to get yeast infections. as long as your man is clean you really have nothing to worry about.
