MORE than 40 boys with ages 7 to 14 years old benefited in a free circumcision operations organized by the municipality of Porac officials.
Board Member David-Dizon said that there are various health benefits from circumcision, such as easier hygiene, decreased risk of urinary tract and sexually transmitted infections, and the prevention of certain penile problems, including penile cancer.
The circumcisions were performed by doctors using modern techniques with the aid of anesthesia to minimize pain and encourage faster healing. Such procedure is much safer and less painful than the traditional circumcision or what is commonly known as “pukpok.” (IOF with PR)
