Diagnosis Of Benign Scrotal Surgical Specimens

Circumcision is when the skin that surrounds the tip of the penis is removed. It is a very common surgery in the United States. It is usually done in newborns, but can also be done in older men. Families choose to do circumcision because of personal hygiene, faith, tradition etc. While other families see it as unnecessary.

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).

In adolescent men, morbidity is either in the form of upper genital tract inflammation, and in rare instances,

Genitals have an important purpose to the human body. Such a procedure is highly controversial since doctors are unsure what affect the removal would have on the body’s biochemistry” (Dr.Simoni). This is important because it explains that without genitals he could have serious complications. Secondly, doctors have never done this procedure so he would be a “ Guinea pig”. “This would be a brand new procedure and if something happens or there are complications, we don’t have any idea how to address them” (Dr. Simoni). This is important because if something was to go wrong during or after the surgery the doctors wouldn’t know how to deal with it and he could be left with serious issues. Therefore, Vinny Ohh should rethink the

The foreskin is full of nerve endings. When you cut this off, you are reducing your son's sensitivity by up to 40%! This is a choice he should make on his own, if he decides he wants it as an adult.

Most of them had genitals pointing to the fact that they were someone who got circumcised. There were no signs of female circumcision, so it is concluded that the surgery was male exclusive. Nevertheless, many boys allowed doctors to perform it on them. Contrary to that though, a lot of them didn’t, so it clearly isn’t a requirement for males. It is hypothesized that a circumcised genital marks the transformation of a boy into a man. This explains why evidence suggests that it was a surgery for adolescents. Egyptians, but it was depicted as a very painful surgery by some art found in Ankhmahor’s tomb, dating 5,000 years ago (Garrard 421). In the picture, it shows two men being circumcised in two different steps of the process. The one on the left is being restrained while someone kneels before him. The one on the right is having the foreskin of his genitals cut off with a knife tool that, most likely, serves the same function as the present day scalpel. Circumcision is the process where the foreskin of the human genitals is removed. Generally in ancient times, it is done by getting scissors or a “knife tool” and directly cutting it away. As expected and mentioned before, the procedure is agonizing for the male without proper anesthesia, which most likely wasn’t present in ancient

According to The Columbia Encyclopedia (2012), circumcision is a surgical procedure for removing the foreskin that covers the head (also known as glans) of the penis. Circumcision is practiced widely in the Middle East and other parts of the world with Jewish and Muslim populations. The practice is a part of Jewish religious practices while it is a traditional practice among the Muslims. Circumcision has also been common in the United States although it has declined considerably in recent decades. Circumcision is administered to infant boys while this is not mandatory in the cultures where it is practiced. Local anesthesia

On the issue of male circumcision Hanna Rosin presents arguments that support the procedure while Michael Idov argues against the act. Rosin begins her argument by describing her own experiences when her sons were circumcised and the anger she felt when hearing them howl in pain. However, she follows this up with an acknowledgment that the feeling quickly dissipated once her sons were completely healed. Rosin then goes on to describe many of the benefits of circumcision, focusing in on the health aspect. Specifically, her argument hinges on studies that correlate a higher rate of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to men that are uncircumcised. Michael Idov also utilizes the health angle to support his argument and even

A 25-year-old female presents to your clinic for evaluation of a mass in the vulvar area. This has been present for the last 1 week and tender to touch, there is no fever and no chills. Upon exam, you noticed that there is a medially protruding mass in the introitus area around a radius of 1.5 cm and tender to touch with some induration around the area. You advised the patient that the most likely diagnoses in this case are:

In the USA, newborn male circumcision is a very common procedure, three-quarters of American men are circumcised. Though the rate of infant circumcision has always been high in the USA, the number varies depending on the State, “Circumcision rates vary wildly across the country - from more than 80% of newborns in states including Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Kentucky, to around 20% on the West coast, according to some calculations” (Hebblethwaite, C.,2012, August 21). However, in other countries, such as The UK, rates dropped after the National Health Service (NHS) rules that circumcisions was not medically necessary, so it would not be covered. In 1948 one-third of UK men were circumcised and now about 9% of men are. On the other hand, countries

Female circumcision will continue to be a terrorizing practice in Africa and will continue until laws are strictly enforced or certain religious practices are stopped.FC/GM is a practice that is hardly spoken of even though it is going on all around us. Just because it primarily happens in Africa does not mean women are affected in the Unite States also. Over 180 million women worldwide have been affected. Laws have been put in place but, they are hardly followed. This practice is strictly a religious based practice with no health benefits. If anything it causes more deaths. Survivors of FC/GM remember the procedure like it was yesterday and have terrorizing memories of. Over 20 years late one women is still horrified by her own memories and

Some may say, how can you be okay with male circumcision, but not female circumcision, every should be treated the same and you should not be so biases when it comes to circumcision. For one, they are done for two completely diffent reasons. Female circumcision as a ritual that is said tp change a girl into a women, it is done to make a girl remain a virgin until marriage and make the girl suitable for marriage. Those do not seem like justifiable reasons to cause damage to a child’s body.
