The procedure known as circumcision involves removing the excess skin surrounding the pointed end of the penis. A baby’s foreskin is completely bonded to the penis at birth. As the foreskin gradually separates from the head of the penis, it becomes detachable. Although the practice of circumcision has been used since ancient times, modern techniques are also used today. This procedure can be used to remove a man’s foreskin for medical, familial, personal hygiene, or aesthetic purposes.
