Circumcision

That would be a very low percentage as most physicians know the remaval of the foreskin (prepuce) is harmful to the penis.

However even doctors that have had their genital mutilated have been unbalanced by the experience to the degree that they wish to visit the same abuse upon other children including their own. This is one of the reasons aside from the profit motive that there are still so many medics in the US that are wiling to inflict this on defenceless children. This reasoning works along the same lines as the reasoning that seems to put children that have been abused in a position where they are more likely to abuse their own children. Any doctor that would circumcise a child in the light of modern medical knowledge needs psychological evaluation before being allowed to work with children.

No. Female Circumcision is prohibited in Judaism and almost no Jewish women are circumcised. Female Circumcision is much more common in Africa and the Islamic World.

You're not cutting the penis - you're cutting the foreskin off the penis.

For an adult, a urologist. For a child, a pediatrician, pediatric urologist or obstetrician. If you are Jewish, tradition calls for a Mohel to perform the circumcision, a mohel does not have to be a doctor.

Less then 20 % 0f the men of the world are circumcised and most of them for religious and cultural reasons. some because dad wants the boy to look like himself and some for supposed health reasons although no medical organisations recommend or can see any reason for the procedure unless under very unusual circumstances.

Circumcision is the removal of an important art of the genitalia There is no benefit to health in so doing. If someone so much as touches the genitalia of a girl with a knife or other instrument wit a view to taking bit from it it would be called Female genital mutilation. the same should apply to boys only it should be referred to as male genital mutilation.

Circumcision is not directly wrong or bad, most modern doctors do not perform it on babies anymore as there really is no point if proper hygiene is practised (cleaning the penis). Studies have shown that much of the penises nerves that are involved in sexual stimulation are located in the foreskin, so removal of the foreskin can reduce sexual climax. Circumcision does promote less bacteria growth as the foreskin is a hospitable place for growth of bacteria due to the moisture and heat. Removal of the foreskin can reduce the odds of a bacterial infection in the penis, though this effect can also be achieved by proper hygiene of penises with foreskins.

Many cultures circumcise for spiritual reasons, removal of the penis causes no destinct harm to the patient, so if the religion in question demands it, this is not bad.

Many people (even some doctors) claim that circumcision is wrong and vice versa, though these claims are generally unfounded. There is no distinct benefit to removing the foreskin, though there is no distinct harm in removing it either.

No! Whoever told you that was born without a brain!

Brunei is a muslim country and is largely circumcised. It is done to boys not infants.

This depends on where the circumcision will be performed, by whom, location, and other factors. It can be somewhere between $1500 and $2000 in an office setting.

No, it is nothing to do with it. Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin from the penis.

No it is obviously still too tight. Exercises have been developed that will loosen the foreskin so that is will retract as it should. These are basically ways of gently stretching the foreskin over and over again until you are happy with the results. Circumcision is harmful to your penis and the satisfaction you get from your love life. And there is a definite percentage of them that lead to serious problems To put it quite simply All you have to do is play with the foreskin and gently force it in the direction you want it to go a little at a time. use some hand softening creme while doing this as it will help. another good way is to do it in the bath under warm water or in the shower. Don't force it but persist within a couple of weeks you should have the situation under control. My parents always made sure that I could withdraw my foreskin both from the point of view of teaching hygiene and from the point of view that one day we may want to use it.

For religions that typically circumcise near birth it is seen as a covenant with God.

If one goes back and looks at the old documents available it would be reasonable to see the custom as a replacement for the sacrifice of infants to God.

For cultures that circumcise at puberty eg. certain Africans, Australian Aboriginals, and Pacific Islanders it is seen as a rite of passage into manhood.

Obviously for other people circumcision is performed for other reasons but I believe that is beyond the scope of your question.

Parents sign the consent form themselves.

No. If phimosis is not causing problems with the function of the penis (urination, masturbation, or sexual intercourse) and the man is comfortable with his penis, there is no reason for circumcision. Phimosis can usually be treated with the use of topical steroid ointments and gentle gradual stretching. In cases where this approach does not work, circumcision is an option.

No. As with any other aspect of Judaism, even non-Jews are welcome to study. Generally males only need to be circumcised if they wish to convert to Judaism.

That is like saying does a person look better with their eyelids cut of It would have to be in the eye of the beholder.

After the foreskin is removed; the place where it was attached to the penis needs to heal. That area may be sewn together with stitches or covered with plastic. (Sometimes it is left open) During that time, erections are impossible. When the wound is healed and the dressing is removed, nothing stops erections. There is no pain. Have you ever cut yourself? Did you have pain? Did you have pain after the wound healed?

Tight circumcisions can however cause the hairy skin at the base of the shaft to be pulled up onto the shaft and this can lead to real discomfort and pain during sex. The penis is meant to have a foreskin so the result of any circumcision is at the least deleterious to the function of the penis overall

Yes it can but take care to follow the directions and recommendations on the package.

There is nothing important about circumcision. As a mater of fact it is a risky operation carried out on children who are not in a position to object to being mutilated as a result of a religious rite. Nature has made the penis the way it is because that way it works best. the perverse religious customs of the Jews and Muslims are nothing short of child molestation for the sake of religion. there are no good outcomes in circumcision unless there is some sort of disorder. These are however rare. It is interesting to note that if someone touches a child to satisfy some sort of sexual urge then he is a pervert and a villain of the worst kind. However if an adult actually slices a piece of a child's sexual anatomy to satisfy a religious urge, what should they be called?

of course the mothers blood is transfered into the fetuses bloodstream throgh the placenta

Doctors have for many years said there are big health benefits and that the risks are much bigger to get cancer, Aids, infections etc when uncut so many parents don't want to risk it and now it has also become tradition and many likes the appearance. I've also heard moms being scared their son will be teased in the locker room. The medical risks when uncut are extremely small and it's healthier for your child you just teach him how to wash and keep clean and use a condom when that day comes instead of making this decision for him.

Just normal cleanliness is all that is required There is no evidence that the intact penis is any more likely to become diseased. And the risk of penile cancer is 1 in 100.000 and then in old men that have problems with sanitation bed riden for instance. The USA has a very high rate of circumcision and along with it a very high rate of HIV infections> while in Europe circumcision is relatively rare and seen as genital mutilation they on the other hand have a far lower HIV rate, not to mention all kinds of penile problems that are the result of being genitally mutilated through circumcision. The reason Many Americans are being circumcised is because they are being hoodwinked by their doctors. There is big money in the circumcision business including a market for baby foreskins.

They don't actually do circumcisions as they are an insurance company.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) has no policy or doctrine regarding circumcision. Circumcision is regarded by Mormons as a personal medical choice, not a religous one. many Mormons in America do have their sons circumcised because it is a common American custom. However in most of the world there is no social presure to have the penis mutilated in this way so there is no need to step away from the norm .

Circumcision is the removal of the Prepuce or foreskin from the penis. this is largely a religious practice and there are no medical or health advantages in it except in extremely rare circumstances.
