== Penile microbiome ==
Mishra et al. (2023) studied the microbiome and mycobiome of pediatric patients before and after [[circumcision]]. Circumcision amputates the [[foreskin]] and destroys the [[preputial sac]]. The authors reported a "significant drop" in the bacterial and fungal population after circumcision, but did not report any change in patient health.<ref>{{REFjournal
