Abstract

Circumcision is one of the teachings of Prophet Ibrahim AS which is an obligation for men. Literally, circumcision is the act of cutting or removing part or all of the foreskin of the penis. Circumcision is very beneficial for health, namely reducing the risk of urinary tract infections, overcoming phimosis, paraphimosis, balaniditis and can reduce the risk of malignancy of the penis and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. Seeing the urgency of circumcision, during a pandemic, as well as the conditions in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic, many people were afraid to carry out circumcision and receive treatment.
