Circumcision benefits and circumcision complications\u00a0have been debated however, in recent years some clear advantages have been discovered to exist scientifically. First lets understand what circumcision is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1449\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenspandental.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/images-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"circumcision complications\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenspandental.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/images-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/greenspandental.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/images.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 150px, 150px\" \/>The head of the penis of a newborn baby boy is covered by the foreskin. It is essentially, the extension of the skin on the outside shaft of the penis. This skin is regular epidermis, or normal external body skin, like on your finger. There is a hole at the end of the foreskin that allows the baby to urinate. The inside of the skin, is a type of tissue like in the mouth. It is shiny and damp. There is no consensus why the foreskin exists. While anti circumcision proponents might say \u00a0to prevent circumcision complications it is there to protect the head of the penis, opponents would say it causes problems and is more like the appendix, which has no apparent function and causes only problems. When the man wants to have sex, the foreskin pulls back exposing the head of the penis allowing for intercourse. That explains the technical side of the anatomy. When a circumcision is done, the skin that covers the head of the penis is removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The American Academy of<i> <\/i>Pediatrics (AAP) says the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/health\/article-2860727\/Benefits-circumcision-outweigh-risks-Procedure-cuts-risk-HIV-STDs-penile-cancer-official-report-declares.html\">advantages of neonatal circumcision are greater than<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>the risks<\/a> and potential circumcision complications. However, the AAP does not recommend routine circumcision for every baby. The AAP suggests that the circumcision decision be left up to parents \u2014 and suggests use of local anesthetics for babies who have the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Circumcision Benefits<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li4\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>Hygiene <\/b>Circumcision makes it easier to wash the penis. The foreskin tombs the head of the penis in a dark and damp environment. It is a breeding ground for bacteria and infection. The most common reason that adults need a circumcision is for inflammatory and infective problems due to the foreskin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>Urinary tract infections.<\/b> The risk of urinary tract infections in men is low, but UTI\u2019s are more common in males with no circumcision. UTI\u2019s early in life can lead to kidney complications later in life.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>Decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections.<\/b>Circumcised men have a lower chance of getting certain sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. <\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>Prevention of penile problems.<\/b> One disease an uncircumcised male faces, and a circumcised man never does,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>is phimosis, the inability, due to infection to retract the foreskin. This painful situation can also cause swelling to the head of the penis.\u00a0circumcision complications are outwieghed by the advantages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li4\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b>Decreased risk of penile cancer and cervical cancer in a mate.<\/b> Although cancer of the penis is uncommon, it&#8217;s more rare in circumcised men. Also, cervical cancer is less common in sexual female partners of a circumcised man. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>The very minor chance of simple\u00a0circumcision complications is so greatly offset by the saving of a life if it prevents a cancer.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Circumcision does not affect fertility, nor does it circumcision affect sexual pleasure for men or their partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Overall circumcision benefits GREATLY benefit both the man himself and his partner and circumcision complications, when performed by an expert are almost non existant .<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advantages of circumcision and circumcision complications Circumcision is literally as old as the Bible and there has been controversy around it for almost as long.
