Today, the operation circumcision (circumcision) is popular not only among Jews and Muslims, but also men of other nationalities. They do it not for religious reasons, but out of aesthetic preferences. Especially many of these men are now in America. Representatives of the stronger sex believe that their male dignity looks better, as they do circumcision by removing the foreskin, normally covering the glans penis. Few people know that there is female circumcision, the result of which is absolute insensitivity to affection and the absence of orgasm.
How is male circumcision done?
The babies had surgery without anesthesia, now it even comes to general anesthesia, but local anesthetics are most often used. The procedure is performed by a trained person or surgeon, manually removing the prepuce. Adults may be sutured, but children do not need this. Recovery takes place within 10-14 days, at first the penis looks swollen and reddened, but as it heals, it becomes more and more natural.
Complications after such an operation, manifested by infection of the wound, are rare, but there may be some pain and irritation in the area of the glans penis.
You can not perform the procedure if the child is sick or recovering from an illness, has problems with blood coagulation.
How are women circumcised?
The operation is performed on the clitoris and labia, the area of the affected surface depends on the type of circumcision. The procedure is common among Muslims, but religion is against such barbarism, since everything happens without anesthesia and disinfection. According to the beliefs of some nationalities, a woman who has not passed the rite cannot give birth to a boy, she is normal in household work and children, as circumcision is supposed to reduce clit sensitivity and prevent orgasm.
These days, this procedure is considered a relic of the past, but is still carried out secretly by some doctors. In many countries, even had to prohibit female circumcision, although surgery on the labia for aesthetic purposes is allowed. This "reservation" is used by supporters of the ancient operation.
Why do circumcisions for men?
The opinion of doctors on this issue was divided, one part speaks of the appropriateness and necessity of such a procedure. It turns out that circumcised men are less likely to suffer from genitourinary infections, they have no cancer of the glans penis, and the risk of catching HIV is much lower than that of uncircumcised ones.
But the other part of the doctors do not see the point in the circum, as they circumcise many, but the difference in the incidence with those who have not undergone it is very small. With regard to HIV, promiscuous sexual intercourse is not safe from any interference.
The American Society of Doctors is against the widespread conduct of this operation in children. Data confirming the advantage of circumcised over uncircumcised men is scarce.
Proponents say that in a man, the sensitivity of the glans penis decreases, with the result that the onset of orgasm is delayed. This makes it possible to lengthen sexual intercourse. However, there is evidence that men who performed surgery in a conscious age, note a loss of sensitivity, and would have given a lot to return everything back.
Another argument against surgery is the possibility of pain shock in children, as circumcision is done without anesthesia, without warning, without voluntary consent. It is clear that the circumcele is a religious ritual, but even in the Muslim world there is an opinion that the operation is done at will, not being mandatory.
It turns out that in infancy, parents make a choice for the child. Maybe you should wait until he grows up and makes his own decision?
