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.

Which part is commonly circumcised?

he word circumcision means "to cut around". In male infants, circumcision is a surgical operation which involves tearing the foreskin away from the glans (head) of the penis, clamping it and cutting it off. There are several techniques in use, including one (Plastibel) that is intended to slowly strangle the foreskin, but they all involve cutting, blood and removal of sensitive tissue. The skin of the penis is a complex movable sheath with no clear indication of where it should be cut during a circumcision. This means that the amount of foreskin removed from one operation to the next can be very different, and no two circumcisions are the same.Does any medical organizations recommend the circumcision of boys?No medical organizations anywhere in the world recommends routine circumcision of boys.
