Reasons for Cirumcision
Circumcision is very common which is a great way to protect yourself or your baby son throughout life. Surgical removal of foreskin significantly reduces the risks of developing the following unpleasant illnesses:
Urinary tract infections
Circumcision helps prevent urinary tract infections in both males and their female partners.It is a documented fact that uncircumcised males are 10 times more likely to come down with a urinary track infection than circumcised males.
Balanitis
Balanitis is an unpleasant, often recurring, inflammation of the glans. It is quite common and can be prevented by circumcision.
STDs
Studies in recent years have shown that the percentage of sexually transmitted diseases are lower in circumcised males. This is due to the fact that the foreskin causes an environment conducive to germs if germs are introduced.
HIV/AIDS
Protection against HIV and AIDS. AnBritish Medical Journal article in May 2000 suggested that circumcised men are 8 times less likely to contract the HIV virus. (It is very important here to say that the risk is still far too high and that condoms and safe sex must be used)
Cancer of the penis
Studies have shown a higher rate of penile cancer among men who were not circumcised as infants. about 1 in 1000 - fairly rare, but tragic if you or your son are in that small statistic. Infant circumcision gives almost 100% protection, and young adult circumcision also gives a large degree of protection.
