Q

What is the foreskin?

A

This is a fold of skin that covers the glans. The foreskin needs to be drawn back and the end of the penis needs to be washed to avoid infection. Some males have their foreskin removed and this operation is called circumcision. There are very rarely medical reasons for circumcision, but in some cultures it is performed for religious reasons.
