Studies associated with records of circumcision in the United States highlight that in the year 1975; approximately 93 percent of the male children were subjected to circumcision. With the increase in medical consciousness, the numbers have dropped heavily. The records of 1990 reveal only 63 percent of circumcision cases in the US. |
For most people pro the practice, the issue is more of a religious or cultural one rather than medical. There are communities that have very strong beliefs related to the subject and no amount of medical intervention or research can alter the same. Nevertheless, there are families who believe in circumcision for only hygienic purposes. The practice is said to aid in the general cleanliness of the penis.
Studies reveal certain medical advantages of circumcision as well. The risk of infection or inflammation of penis is found to be much higher in boys who are uncircumcised in comparison to those undergone the process. It has been put forth that about 10 to 14 percent of boys who are uncircumcised suffer from infection of the foreskin or inflammation of the foreskin, while swelling of the "glans" or "balanitis" is two folds higher among boys who are uncircumcised as against those who have been circumcised. Records also show incidence of infection of the urinary tract is higher among one year old boys who are uncircumcised in comparison to boys who are circumcised. Around one out of hundred boys who are uncircumcised tend to get infection of the urinary tract.
Many feel that circumcision also has a positive affect on sexuality. Aspects of hygiene are easier to tackle as lack of foreskin makes cleaning far simpler. Chances of bad odor or infection due to the accumulation of material in the folds of the skin are also lesser. Many women derive greater sexual pleasure with a circumcised or an uncovered penis. Lastly, circumcised men seem to fit well into condoms in contrast to those with the foreskin intact.
