Human papillomavirus

A latest research claims that circumcision has more benefits than earlier thought. Not only does it lower risk of HIV infection but also cuts risk of herpes and human papillomavirus!

Says Dr. Ashok Gupta of Ashok Clinic, “It has been proved that circumcision prevents not only sexually transmitted diseases but also a lot of others infections. Approximately 5 per cent of people do not really take care of hygiene, which can lead to a lot of diseases. There is also a threat of cancer. Circumcision can prevent local infections and gential infections. In fact, I would recommend that all parents must get their children circumcised during infancy to prevent the infection of diseases in future.”

While some might argue that circumcision is cruel and unnatural, as it interferes with the natural state of the human body; or dismiss it as just another unnecessary medical procedure, or by saying that the practice started as a ritual in many societies dating back centuries, it might still not be a bad idea after all to explore the possibility of protecting generations to come as long as its pros outnumber the cons.
