What are receding gums? Receding gums are gums that have pulled away from the surface of the tooth and crept away, exposing the root of the tooth. There are several different causes for receding gums that can result in sensitivity or even tooth loss. Because the gums help support the teeth, receding gums should not be taken lightly.
The Benefits. As an adult, two of the most significant benefits of your circumcision will be hygiene and sexual performance. Many (if not most) uncircumcised men assert that the hygienic benefit is at best questionable, but on this I can say from experience that they are wrong. The inner foreskin is a mucous membrane, and secrets fluids.
Circumcision is a common procedure in which the skin covering the tip of the penis is surgically removed. It's usually performed on a newborn boy before he leaves the hospital, and often within the first 2 days of life. In the Jewish faith, it is performed in a special ceremony when a baby is 8 days old. Boys are born with a hood of skin, called the foreskin, covering the head (glans) of the penis. In circumcision, the foreskin is removed to expose the head of the penis.
