→Medical indication: Add link to balanitis.
# '''Traumatically injured foreskin'''. A foreskin so traumatically injured foreskin that cannot be surgically repaird is a valid medical reason for circumcision.
# '''Diseased foreskin.''' A foreskin that is diseased is a valid indication for cirumcision. Some diseases that qualify are malignancy, lichen sclerosis, [[Balanitis#Diabetic_males| yeast infection in men with diabetes]], and recurrent posthitis.
In such cases, the benefit of removing the problem foreskin may exceed the maleficial results of tissue and function destruction.
