What is circumcision?

Circumcision is a medical procedure in which the foreskin of the penis is removed. In the uncut penis, this free flap acts as a protective cloak most of the time, and if necessary, it is able to pull. The term "circumcision" is also used to indicate a practice in which tissue is removed from the female genital area, while some people prefer the term "cutting female genitalia" to describe this procedure. Depending on where there is one in the world, circumcision may be widespread practice or unusual practice and there are a number of arguments for and against the procedure. Specifically, several religions also prescribe circumcision for its adherents, including Judaism and Islam. Traditionally, circumcision is carried out in infants or young children depending on regional cultural practices. For example, in Islam there is ritual circumcision or khitan on boys around 12 years, while Jewish bris is performed in young infants.

At once, circumcision was widely supported for medical reasons and infants were commonly circumcised in many hospitals. The argument for circumcision was that it was easier to maintain the circumcured penis clean and that circumcision reduced the risk of infection in non -hygienic conditions. It also eliminated the risk of developing close foreskin, unusual but painful occurrence. However, people raised questions about ethical questions related to circumcision, including the problem of unnecessary medical procedure for minors and potential for future mental problems. These protests led to reform in hospital policy, and most of the facilities now asked parents whether their boys wanted to be circumcised.

Some studies suggest that circumcision may actually increase the risk of HIV and genital warts, although these results of the study have been questioned. Other opponents of the procedure claimed that the foreskin should protect fine genital tissue and that the removal of the foreskin can lead to increased risk fromwound and to loss of sensitivity.

The decision to circumcise or not is personal. Parents may consider the dizzying range of arguments for and against and many of these arguments are sprinkled with misleading statistics and results of studies of doubtful validity. The biggest argument for waiting is that it allows the boy to decide later in his life whether he wants to be circumcised, because the procedure can be done at any age if someone decides to do, but it is difficult to reverse in the case of people who want their predictors to be left intact.
