If you are unable to retract your foreskin, circumcision is highly recommended. Even if you are able to retract your foreskin, it is still highly encouraged procedure as it has a lot of benefits.

Some of the benefits include:

- better hygiene

- reduce risk of STDs( Sexually transmitted diseases)

- lower risk of HIV transmission

- fewer chances of getting balanitis ( penile infection)

- less likely to get UTI (urinary tract infection)

- improve premature ejaculation

I would advise you to see a doctor who does circumcision so that he can advise you based on your situation.

Whatever the case, you can opt for circumcision as it has a lot of benefits. Hope my reply answers your question.
