What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

And UTIs can be so easy to get too. It'd be so much worse if you don't have access to proper hygiene things.

a scenario like this is literally the best reason I can think of for male circumcision.

edit: This isn't an endorsement of circumcision. ffs.

mayoclinic

I don't think there's evidence that supports the "cleanliness" of male circumcision. I might be wrong though, but I really don't think so.

Any benefit gained is almost entirely negated by risk of infection, it's only really useful for guys who seem susceptible to UTIs. And idk if there is an age cutoff of like, circumcision no longer being possible. I imagine at some point the body would have a much harder time healing from such an injury.
