Q: Does circumcision reduce cancer risk in the female partner? Does it cause any complication or have an adverse effect on sexual pleasure? A lot of sites are there with pro and anti circumcision comments. I am confused.
A:There is no conclusive evidence that circumcision reduces risk of cancer in female partner. Circumcision in adults, done properly, has no risk of complications worth mentioning. A cicumcised or uncircumcised organ, theoretically, has no effect on sexual pleasure.
