ESTIMATIONS on PHIMOSIS STATISTICS without REFERENCES
In the Encyclopedia Judaica (3) under circumcision it says that "10% of boys eventually need
it, because of non-retractability of the foreskin" .

as vector and victim. Cancer 1989 Jul 15;64(2):559-65
Boon speculates without giving any references "In Bali, up to 50% of
men over the age of 18 has some degree of Phimosis." Of interest: "In
a Hindu population in a predominantly Muslim country not only is circumcision
not practiced, but phimosis is often left untreated because of a prohibition
to intervene with the male foreskin"... the study unfortunately doesn`t
tell us any more on this theme. |
