 The benefits of circumcision are mostly health-related and include a reduced risk of urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, cancer (of the penis), and HIV infection.

There is some evidence that circumcision also reduces the risk of penile problems such as inflammation and scarring. There is also some evidence that circumcised men have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer.
