→Medical indication
# '''Deformed or malformed foreskin'''. A foreskin so deformed or malformed that it does not function properly may be removed by circumcision.
# '''Traumatically injured foreskin'''. A foreskin so traumatically damaged foreskin that it cannot be surgically repaired is a valid medical reason for circumcision.
# '''Diseased foreskin.''' A foreskin that is diseased is a valid indication for cirumcisioncircumcision. Some diseases that qualify are malignancy, lichen sclerosis, [[Balanitis#Diabetic_males| yeast infection in men with diabetes]], and recurrent [[balanoposthitis]].
In such cases, the benefit of removing the problem foreskin may exceed the maleficial harms of tissue and function destruction.
