Circumcision is virtually universal in the Muslim and Jewish religions, having commenced with Abraham (Genesis 17: 11) who lived around 2000 BC. Abraham could not get Sarah (his wife) pregnant, for some reason. The story goes God ordered him to get circumcised, and he swiftly achieved in fathering a son, Isaac, by Sarah.
Some of the reasons for circumcision is a reduced risk of urinary tract infections, a decreased risk of some sexually transmitted diseases in men, safeguard against penile cancer, a diminished risk of cervical cancer in female intercourse partners, prevention of balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin) and prevention of balanitis (inflammation of the glans).
