My mother, aunt and cousin all work at nursing homes and they've told me that the uncircumcised men (especially those with diabetes) have a terrible time of it because they either don't like someone touching their foreskin to pull it back to wash properly underneath it or else they can't do it themselves (because of immobility in other parts of their bodies) and so they end up with infections and other disorders. Quite a few of these old guys have had to be circumcised simply because it's impossible to stay clean and they'd rather do that than put up with the pain of ballinitis etc or the embarrassment of a nurse retracting their foreskin every time they pee and wash.
