Question

State whether true or false:
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin, the tissue covering the head (glans) of the penis.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Male circumcision is the removal of the foreskin from the human penis. The presence of foreskin has been proven to increase chances of cancer of the penis, and hence, in many western countries, circumcision, or removal of the foreskin covering the glans, is done at birth as a routine practice.
