There are always 2 sides to everything:
The overriding thing that must be remembered here is that most of the people who have their foreskin removed had it done while they were infants or children and had no choice in the procedure. So they did not have it done for their own reason but as a result of an assault a simple fact which is conveniently overlooked in many developed countrys.
1. Many people have circumcisions for religious reasons, like Islam and Judaism
2. Many people have circumcisions for aesthetics - some foreskins are NASTY
3. Many people have circumcisions to prevent foreskin problems
4. Many people have circumcisions for easier personal hygiene
5. Many people have circumcisions for easier personal sanitation
6. Many people have circumcisions because of the medical benefits.
7. Many people have circumcisions due to medical necessity during their lifetime.
Against:
1. Many people leave the foreskin intact because it is natural looking, more sensitive, and better for sex
2. Many people leave the foreskin intact because it protects the glans (the head) and reduces infections
3. Many people believe removing the foreskin is "mutiliation" just like removing the "female foreskin" is also mutilation
4. Many people leave the foreskin intact because it is ethically and morally the right thing to do since it isn't their body
5. Many people leave the foreskin intact because they believe the medical benefits are not dramatic enough to warrant a surgical procedure.
There is an organization called Catholics Against Circumcision that argues that circumcision is against the spiritual principles of Catholics, and that therefore Catholics should remain intact. It is not a requirement for either Catholics nor Protestants to be circumcised because of their religion like Jews or Moslems. Therefore to ask in which denomination circumcision is more common is irrelevant. It is likely that there is very little difference between them.
Religious circumcision was affectively banned in the Soviet Union.

You should consult a urologist. He or she will either be able to perform the circumcision or refer you to a colleague who performs the procedure.
No they dont
No medical associations either in the United States or abroad recommend routine circumcision. Circumcision does not decrease the chance of getting any disease and has no known medical benefit. The procedure itself carries risks of complications and adverse effects, and this is why medical organizations oppose routine circumcision.
There are always 2 sides to everything. Some people believe circumcision should be outlawed because it's mutilation and unethical, while others believe it's a health and religious measure.
If you are looking for a doctor to do a circumcision, and the patient is a child, contact either a pediatrician or a pediatric surgeon, if the patient is an adult contact a urologist or a general surgeon.
Getting circumcised serves no medical purpose, it does nothing to benefit you. If anything, over time, from constant rubbing against the glands of a circumcised penis can destroy nerves, thus making sexual pleasure decreased.
Some people think it is.
