Time, Winnipeg Free Press, et al. - Uncircumcised boys at greater risk for urinary tract infections: study

A study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal finds that uncircumcised boys have a higher risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) than circumcised boys, a condition that could lead to kidney damage and scarring if left untreated. The risk of infection was higher in uncircumcised boys regardless of how much of their urethral opening was visible.

The study was led by Dr. Sasha Dubrovsky.
