Microplastics discovered in human penises for the first time

Makes you wonder. Apparently penile cancer is on the rise, with 6500 amputations in the the last decade in Brazil.

Penile cancer: 6,500 amputations in Brazil in a decade
The mentioned article states:
"Penile cancer is almost unheard of in the circumcised population. Poor hygiene and infections beneath the foreskin, as well as conditions like phimosis that make it difficult to retract the foreskin and maintain good hygiene, are risk factors. This is linked to higher overall infection risks".

In my opinion a good hygiene is most important. I'd never get a circumcision only to minimize the risk of penile cancer.
 
The doctor asked for a urine sample.
I couldn’t fit the water bottle into the pee cup.

Sorry folks. It’s very early in the morning. 😇
Let me try to recapitulate a joke I've heard more than a decade ago.
A physician asks his patient to deliver a urine sample. The patient is too cheap to pay only for himself. Thus he demands all of his family members to give some urine and mix it that it can be tested for all family members. The test is done by a machine.
The result is: All of you are in good health. But your wife is pregnant and you're not the father of the child.
 
I read somewhere that the microplastics are in our drinking water so, I don't think we're gonna get rid of them. Do you?
No, it doesn't seem likely... though, what do I know about medical things like that?

I heard about this from another thread here about it all and it seems to be getting confirmed that the plastics are all parts of the body and very much in the brain.
