Q: Dear Doctor, 1).Is there any advantage in doing circumcision? If circumcision is done in a person who has had fungus infection in the groin area, i.e. the crease, will it affect the penis with infection in anyway?2). If the scrotum is hanging too much, is it possible to correct it in anyway by removing the skin? 3). Is it possible to increase the penis size, if so how?

A:Prepuce has its protective and preservance of glandular sensation function. We do not advocate circumcision until it is indicated. Ritual circumcision is an entirely different issue. Literature does claim some advantage in circumcised population in terms of incidence of the cancer of penis. Groin fungus should not effect the penis.
