In a person not circumciased, if he cannot manually retract the foreskin and wash and nicely clean the inside part - called glans penis - secretions like whitish powder called 'smegma collects. This may lead to repeated infections and in the long run cancer may also occur. But if U R able to wash and keep inside parts clean, there is no need to undergo circumcision. Circumcision can be done at any age. Costs vary very much from surgeon to surgeon and hospital to hospital , but could be totally in the range of Rs 10 to 20 thousands. Circumcisiong or not has nothing to do with cancer of prostate.
