It's not.
Not in overwhelming number of cases.
That is just an ignorant misrepresentation of reality.
Foreskin is important for protection, sensitivity, lubrication and provides "self-cleaning" feature to member.
You cannot just skip shower for 6 months and then claim, "well, there's some stuff under the foreskin, so it's bad for you".
Hygine is important.
There's no objective medical reason for circumcising young males.
Correlation do not imply causation. And I'm referring to the "disease" prevention. Cultural norms correlate with that just as much.
Ultimatelly, all forms of genital modification done on unwilling participants are an attempt to control individuals sexuality or enforce traditions and cultural norms.
You would have to be a cultural relativist to claim it's okay because of the culture or tradition.
And then female genital modifications would be automatically equally as "okay".

But we are made to understand that male circumcision is healthy and medically wise for the male child to be circumcised.

It's just a confirmation bias.
People who have it engraved in their culture to chop off parts of baby dicks will use any piece of data that vaguely fit their presuppositions and call it concrete proof.
Muslims will point to any tiny piece of evidence to "scientifically" justify torturing animals for halal meat.
Christians and jews will point to some 50 year old statistics to justify butchering their chirdrens genitals.
Even if overwhelming evidence show that their claims are purely culturaly motivated.
I'm not going to go into how many times people pointed to when science "agree" with their religions, cultures, and traditions, even if it overwhelmingly proves everything else about their beliefs wrong. [I use "overwhelming" too much, need to buy a dictionary]
