The dangers of a long or tight foreskin

  Circumcision usually does not affect men’s life, but some men whose foreskin is too long or too tight will often suffer from foreskin infection or glansitis, and if these inflammations occur for years and years, penile cancer may occur in old age. It is recommended that such patients should go to the hospital to check whether the overly long foreskin should be removed. Why are there no Jews with penile cancer? That is because this people are circumcised shortly after birth. Of course, people with normal foreskin length and no frequent inflammation do not need to have their foreskin removed.
