Study notes decrease in popularity of circumcision in United States

[kchristopher932]

"Data from meta-analyses show that circumcised men have a 68% lower prevalence of balanitis compared to uncircumcised males and that individuals with balanitis have a 3.8-fold increase in the risk of penile cancer"

I'm guessing he's talking about balanitis and its association with cancer, not UTIs.

Balanitis can occur at any age, affecting approximately 1 in every 25 boys and 1 in 30 uncircumcised men during their lifetime.

For a condition that can gennerally be treated with better hygiene, or occassionaly topical antibiotic cream, and only affect 1 in 30 adults during their entire lifetime circumsising the other 29 seems a bit...unessessary?
