→Issues with circumcision as treatment: Add text.
According to Agarwal et al. (2005):
<blockquote>
Although circumcision is considered to be a simple procedure devoid of much morbidity, it is associated with many complications like hemorrhage, edema, infection, meatal stenosis, urethral fistulae, unsightly scars, penile curvature, shortness of shaft skin, and partial, or total penile loss. … In view of the various studies including the present one and the versatile use of preputial skin as a graft, it is suggested that circumcision should be avoided as far as possible especially for nonseparation of prepuce in early childhood.<ref name="agarwal2005" />
