Our son was born overseas, and because he was premature and the practice was discouraged in that country, it wasn’t done. In his teens he kept having medical issues directly related to his lack of circumcision and the doctor recommended having it done. After doing so, those medical issues disappeared.
Soap and water would have alleviated all those problems. Uncircumcised boys need to keep the area clean the same way girls do.

Most medical problems, in first and second world countries, involving the penis are due to poor hygiene.
I once read somewhere (this was years ago) that in America circumcision at birth used to be pretty much routine. I wonder if that is still the case.
