Circumcision Is A Debating Procedure For Many Years

Male circumcision has long been a debate with decisions based on cultural, ethnic, religious and social preference of the parent. There are both benefits and risks associated with the procedure of male circumcision. The procedure involves the removal of some or, the entire foreskin around the penis. Neonatal circumcision is rising among English speaking countries and it is known now that more than 80% of the male population has been circumcised. (CDC, 2006) This number is rising however; studies show that there is insufficient evidence to recommend neonatal circumcision as a routine decision. (AAP, 2006). Many debates of this procedure relate to the benefits versus the risk and medical costs that the procedure entails. This paper

Per WebMD “Male circumcision is a surgery to remove the foreskin, a fold of skin that covers and

The topic of the infant male circumcision is a controversial subject in the United States. This procedure involves a non-reversible surgical procedure that removes the prepuce, commonly called the foreskin, thus exposing the glans of the penis (Blank, et al., 2012). Currently this is considered a cosmetic procedure per surgical standards, and is performed upon the request of the parents of the newborn. The decision to have a circumcision performed is usually based upon personal, cultural, and religious factors. However, the overall view of the impact of the procedure on the newborn infant varies in our country, and has led to two conflicting camps of ideology. The pro-circumcision movement focuses on the potential health benefits gained of a circumcision, and feels it is a necessary procedure. The anti-circumcision movement claims there are no health benefits and that the procedure violates the fundamental human rights of the infant (Collier, 2012). Following extensive research, I have found that there is evidence-based proof that circumcision improves the overall health of the male newborn, with prolonged health benefits into adulthood. Circumcisions provide the health benefits of decreased rates of urinary tract infections(UTIs), reduced transmission of sexually transmitted disease, prevention of phimosis, and improved penile hygiene (Blank, et al., 2012, Marx & Lawton, 2008, Morris, Bailis, & Wiswell, 2014).

Infibulation and excision cause the most scarring and often cause the most complications with childbirth. Some husbands and wives were unable to have children due chronic infections that cause fertility issues.Women that had infibulation circumcision perform lost their babies during childbirth due to suffocation and existing infections that was pasted to the baby during delivery. Disease could often be transmitted from person to person because proper sterile equipment wasn't used Although these health problems are obvious many still viewed the horrific practice as harmless but essential to well-being and acceptance.

Circumcision is the surgical removal of foreskin, which is the skin covering of the tip of the penis (MayoClinic). The foreskin serves several purposes to the penis, including but not limited to: keeping moisture retained in the penis, protecting the penis from outside bacteria and contributing to sexual pleasure. Circumcision is not a surgery that is exclusive to infants, however, later in life circumcisions are uncommon. It is considered a low-risk procedure, however there are risks such as infections, excessive bleeding, both of which can and have lead to fatalities, as well as reattachment requiring more surgery, or the failure of the penis to

How do you end a tradition that a culture has had around for centuries? Every culture has a different and original tradition. What happens though when the tradition is a horrible and painful one? Female Circumcision is a procedure that is a tradition to many cultures. The purpose of this procedure is to make women stay faithful to their husbands and not become promiscuous, as they get older. This procedure is not safe and has many side effects. Female Circumcision is a shocking procedure that cause women pain and suffering for the rest of their lives.

I agree with you that circumcision can be controversial practice that is influenced by people’s ethnicity, cultural practices, religion, as well as individual preferences. The American Urological Association (AUA) believes that neonatal circumcision has potential medical benefits outweighs the risks if it is performed safely by an experienced operator. The immediate risks after circumcision include; bleeding, infection and penile injury. Complications that can occur later following circumcision include; buried penis, meatal stenosis, skin bridges, chordee and poor cosmetic appearance. Nonetheless, when performed on healthy newborn infants as an elective procedure, the incidence of serious complications is extremely low. When performed properly,

This wasn’t meant for our culture. In certain archaic tribes and religion this is practiced and commonly used. That however, doesn’t justify its purpose or make it okay. This is a problem and we should finish what we started, and fix it. Even with is being such a norm in our society we still need to get rid of it. Its origins consist of cultural traditions and religious rites. I don’t support the trimming of the penis for tradition, nor do I practice any religion. This has got to go. Circumcision has no significant purpose in our current society, however, it once had some use; “Although its origins are unknown, earliest evidence of the practice dates from Egypt (2300BC). Where it is thought to have been used original to mark male slaves” Okay,

The choice of circumcision is purely a personal choice and an elective procedure that each family can make their own decision on. However, there are many medical benefits that have medical evidence to support. Male circumcision is the removal of some or all of the foreskin covering the head of the penis (Circumcision Academy of America, 2016). This procedure is one of the most common medical procedures performed on male infants in the United States, typically occurring after 24 hours of life, and almost always done within 10 days. There is current evidence that the “health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks,” and therefore “justify access to this procedure for families who choose it (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2012).”

What is circumcision? Circumcision is the "surgical removal of the prepuce" (Chabner 325). The prepuce is the foreskin that is covering the tip of the penis. Circumcision is a common procedure that is done in many parts of the world to new born baby boys. This procedure does not have to be performed so early in the child’s life. If the procedure is performed later in the child’s life, the procedure will be a more difficult task to perform. This choice can either be the parents or the child’s when they are old enough to decide.

Let’s begin with the medical issues, is it necessary or not to have a male circumcision. It is all about risk and rewards, because the risk of not having circumcision comes some medical issues. For example, penile cancer, reduces risk of cervical cancer in female sex partner, sexually transmitted diseases, children with pathological phimosis, refractory balanoposthitis and chronic, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in males who are chronically susceptible to them are suggested to get circumcision.

The act of male circumcision is a practice dating centuries. Accounts of circumcision can be found all over the world with many different myths and legends. There are many different reasons why this antediluvian ritual takes place. In ancient times, circumcision was regarded as a rite of passage. The act was a symbolic transformation from adolescence to adulthood. Many other ancient cultures participated in circumcising as a means for eliminating masturbation. Today, circumcision is performed for very different reasons. Parents who circumcise may do so out of religious beliefs. Some may circumcise because of social pressure. Many parents feel an obligation to circumcise in order for their child “fit in”. Others circumcise on the basis of health and hygiene concerns. Some even circumcise out of pure ignorance about the issues that arise from the procedure. While the motives for circumcision have constantly changed, the practice still remains. The effects of circumcision are damaging to the male child’s body and mind. Circumcision is a permanent decision forced upon a child with no say in the matter. These days, it is no longer considered a rite of passage or a sacrifice needed for salvation. The health benefits circumcision claims seem to be under-investigated and minimal. So why do Americans still circumcise their children? Perhaps it is the social stigma of remaining intact or the misguided health concerns. Maybe it is a lack of knowledge about circumcision. No matter what

Have you ever wondered if circumcision hurts your newborn? A research by Practice Application of Research was done to identify which analgesia was more effective. Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the glans penis (Razmus, 2004). It is a procedure that usually does not take a long time. This procedure was done at the hospitals with no analgesia, but pain was still present when the newborn was getting circumcise. This procedure has become more popular than it was before in the United Stated (Razmus, 2004), but yet not all risk and benefits were clear. Some authors have reported that it decrease the number of urinary tract infections, it protected against penile cancer, against HIV infection and HPV (Razmus, 2004). Complications

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis. This practice of male circumcision was started century ago by Jewish people as part of religious ritual (Pillitteri, 2014). Today there is controversy with this practice. For this week's discussion, we are going to concentrate on proponents of the practice. Male circumcision has been a practice in various social groups in many countries around the world including Jewish people, Muslim, and even citizens of the United Stated of America (Chiringa, Ramathuba, & Mashau, 2017). Culture and religion have had a great impact on decision making regarding male circumcision.

     Female circumcision is a traditional ritual that is mostly practiced in Africa on young girls with ages that vary from birth to pre-pubescent. It is reported to have its origins (with varying degrees of reliability) in ancient Egypt. Female circumcision was also discovered being practiced in western India and eastern Asia until it was outlawed around the turn of the 20th century (common era). The procedure is varied through three different types of circumcision: Infibulation, clitoridectomy and Sunna. Clitoridectomy and Sunna are minor version of the circumcision with Infibulation being the most drastic. These practices cause serious health hazards in some women, which become greater in adult
