BACKGROUND: We conducted genital health wellness screens in male kindergarten children between the ages of 3 and 6 years to assess the incidence of congenital abnormalities and their treatment. METHODS: We performed genital examinations on 2241 male children in 8 kindergartens. We screened for 4 conditions: phimosis, hypospadias, cryptorchidism, and hydrocele/hernia. We assessed the incidence of these conditions and the effectiveness or lack of their treatment. RESULTS: Among this sample, 55.5…

TLDR
The most common congenital surgical conditions in Nigeria were umbilical hernias, while injuries were the most common acquired conditions, suggesting an acute need for training more paediatric surgeons.
Estimation of country-specific and global prevalence of male circumcision
TLDR
The present study provides the most accurate estimate to date of MC prevalence in each country and territory in the world and estimates that 37–39 % of men globally are circumcised, which may help guide efforts aimed at the use of voluntary, safe medical MC in disease prevention programs in various countries.
The Mechanism of Environmental Endocrine Disruptors (DEHP) Induces Epigenetic Transgenerational Inheritance of Cryptorchidism
TLDR
DEHP damage male reproductive function in rats, affect expression of DNA methyltransferase enzyme, which in turn leads to genomic imprinting methylation pattern changes and passed on to the next generation, so that the offspring of male reproductive system critical role in the development of imprinted genes imbalances, and eventually lead to producing offspring cryptorchidism.
Erratum to: Estimation of country-specific and global prevalence of male circumcision

There are three decisive dates in the history of the prepuce: the year 1713 BC, in which Abraham is said to have been circumcised as a sign of the pact with Jehovah, the year 48 AD when Paul resolved that it was the circumcision of the heart and not of the flesh that was the true way to salvation, and the year 1949 AD when Gairdner published work which presented facts illustrating the normal development of theprepuce.

TLDR
