New evidence suggests that circumcision at birth or prior to first sexual experience may reduce a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer, explains prostate cancer surgeon, Dr. David Samadi. Today, circumcision is performed on 80-85% of American male infants. Dr. Samadi discusses how the additional infection-reducing benefits of circumcision may help prevent prostate cancer from developing later in life. This is in addition to the believed reduction in sexual transmitted diseases (STDs), urinary tract infections, and even HIV through circumcision.
