In circumcision of infants, the foreskin is pulled tightly into a specially designed clamp, and the foreskin pulls away from the broadened tip of the penis. Pressure from the clamp stops bleeding from blood vessels that supplied the foreskin

Why is routine infant circumcision so popular?

Infant circumcision is far less popular than it used to be. Apart from within Judaism and Islam, infant circumcision is uncommon everywhere in the world except the United States. Even in the United States, circumcision is far less common than it used to be. In the 1980s up to 80% of newborn males in the United States were circumcised. By 2007, the rate of circumcision had dropped to less than 40%. The large drop is due in part to the recognition that there is no known medical benefit to circumcision.
