What is Circumcision?
Circumcision is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the foreskin from the penis. This procedure is commonly performed on newborns but can also be done on older children and adults for medical or personal reasons.
Overview
Circumcision has been practiced for centuries across various cultures for religious, cultural, and health-related reasons. It is essential to understand the implications and benefits of the procedure to make an informed decision.
Causes
There are several reasons one might consider circumcision, including:
- Religious beliefs: Many religions, including Judaism and Islam, mandate circumcision as part of their faith.
- Medical reasons: Conditions such as phimosis (tight foreskin), recurrent urinary tract infections, or balanitis (inflammation of the glans) can necessitate circumcision.
- Hygiene: Some believe that circumcision may lead to better genital hygiene.
