The surgical extraction of the surrounding skin the tip of the penis is known as circumcision. In some regions of the world, the procedure is relatively common for newborn boys. Circumcision after the newborn period is feasible, but the procedure is more complicated. Circumcision is a religious ritual for some families. The methodology may also be performed for reasons of traditional customs, personal hygiene, or preventive health care. Circumcision, on the other hand, appears unnecessary or has deformities to others. Circumcision is sometimes necessary for medical reasons, including when the foreskin is too stiff to be drawn back (retracted) over the glans.
