Smegma itself is not a direct cause of penile cancer, but poor hygiene leading to the accumulation of smegma may contribute to an increased risk. Chronic irritation and inflammation associated with smegma buildup can potentially lead to changes in the penile tissue. Additionally, smegma can harbor bacteria and viruses, including human papillomavirus (HPV), which is linked to penile cancer. Maintaining proper hygiene can help reduce these risks.

As circumcision is not a medically necessary procedure, it will not be covered by most health insurance plans so you will have to pay for the full cost yourself. Circumcision has no known medical benefit, and routine circumcision is not recommended by any major medical association. Most doctors recommend against circumcision because of the possible adverse events following the surgery, including prolonged bleeding, infection, moderate to severe pain, and long term decrease in penile sensitivity and sexual pleasure.
