Generally speaking, the altered counts are not associated with breast cancer except in the last stage when the cancer has involved the bone marrow. Since you were scheduled for surgery, I suspect you don't have last staged breast cancer. So, either you have an associated cause for your altered counts like nutritional d...

Unless it causes severe pain or difficulty ...

In this case circumcision is advice as it may lead to infections. It is advice generally that all uncircumcised males should r...
