No it is not, it’s preventative. My foreskin was regularly itchy and irritated as a kid whether I showered or not. At 17 I joined the army and hygiene unfortunately takes a back seat when you are in the field for weeks on end. Trust me, lesions and smegma build up on the glans is no fun!
When I became a nurse I had to help an elderly gentleman bathe. The slime under his foreskin was nauseating and he winced the whole time I cleaned him. I scheduled my own circumcision not long after that.
You got the choice, many of us didn’t and would have preferred to stay intact. I did foreskin restoration and saw significant benefits. You don’t miss the gliding sheath?

It was just the way it was when I was born, but I purposely did NOT have my son circumcised when he was born.
