Circumcision Recommended For Diabetic Men
Many male diabetics suffer from a condition known as balanitis, a chronic inflammation of the foreskin of the penis. This condition is often brought about by excess yeast, which is common in diabetics. The 'women's' version of this would be chronic yeast infections.

As balanitis can be frightening and uncomfortable, as well as possibly lead to severe infections, some doctors believe that diabetic males should consider circumcision. The procedure eliminates the foreskin, and thus eliminates yeast irritation.

But urologist Dr azad Hassan A. Razack says that if a man is diabetic, he might want to get circumcised.

"This is to prevent balanitis, which can occur in any man, but diabetics are more prone to it.

"Diabetes can make balanitis more likely," says Dr Azad, "and diabetics are prone to infections, which is why I recommend circumcision."


Would you consider getting an operation, even one considered to be relatively 'minor,' to prevent diabetic complications?
