"'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}'''" is frequently claimed by [[circumcised]] men but usually is an overstatement. Almost all conditions of the [[foreskin]] may be conservatively treated so do not force the extreme treatment of foreskin [[amputation]], which is what circumcision does.

There are very few medical conditions that mandate a [[circumcision]] and they occur very rarely. [[Penile cancer]] is a rare cancer, which occurs mostly in the elderly, is one such indication. Irreparable traumatic injury to the [[foreskin]] is another rare indication.

# '''Traumatically injured foreskin'''. A foreskin so traumatically damaged foreskin that cannot be surgically repaired is a valid medical reason for circumcision.
# '''Diseased foreskin.''' A foreskin that is diseased may be a valid indication for [[adult circumcision]]. Some diseases that qualify are [[penile cancer| malignancy]], [[balanitis xerotica obliterans]], [[Balanitis#Diabetic_males| yeast infection in men with diabetes]], and recurrent [[balanoposthitis]].

Circumcision normally is a non-therapeutic elective procedure that is frequently carried out for religious, social reasons, or because the father is circumcised. Investigation usually reveals that the male who "had to be circumcised", may have had some condition, that could be satisfactorily treated conservatively, but actually ''elected'' or chose to be [[circumcised]].

The [[foreskin]] has numerous [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| physiological functions]] that cease to function after circumcision.
