[QUOTE="Fred's Myth, post: 3842723, member: 55587"] The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) found that the health benefits of [URL='https://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/ss/slideshow-baby-milestones-first-year']newborn[/URL] male circumcision [B]outweigh the risks[/B], but the benefits are not great enough to recommend [I]universal [/I][URL='https://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/rm-quiz-newborn-typical']newborn[/URL] circumcision. The procedure [I]may[/I] be recommended in older boys and men to treat [URL='https://www.webmd.com/men/phimosis-paraphimosis']phimosis[/URL] (the inability to retract the foreskin) or to treat an infection of the penis. There is some evidence that circumcision has health benefits, including: A decreased risk of [URL='https://www.webmd.com/women/guide/your-guide-urinary-tract-infections']urinary tract infections[/URL]. A reduced risk of some [URL='https://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/default.htm']sexually transmitted diseases[/URL] in men. Protection against [URL='https://www.webmd.com/cancer/penile-cancer-overview']penile cancer[/URL] and a reduced risk of [URL='https://www.webmd.com/cancer/cervical-cancer/default.htm']cervical cancer[/URL] in female [URL='https://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/default.htm']sex[/URL] partners. Prevention of [URL='https://www.webmd.com/men/penis-disorder-balanitis']balanitis[/URL] ([URL='https://www.webmd.com/arthritis/about-inflammation']inflammation[/URL] of the glans) and balanoposthitis ([URL='https://www.webmd.com/women/ss/slideshow-what-is-inflammation']inflammation[/URL] of the glans and foreskin). Prevention of [URL='https://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/guide/sexual-health-male-reproductive-problems-penis-disorders']phimosis[/URL] (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location). Circumcision also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean. Like any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with circumcision. However, this risk is low. Problems associated with circumcision include: [LIST] [*]Pain [*]Risk of bleeding and infection at the site of the circumcision [*]Irritation of the glans [*]Increased risk of meatitis (inflammation of the opening of the penis) [*]Risk of injury to the penis [/LIST] Educate yourself next time. Ignorance is inexcusable. Even when it's by your own choice. So, out of curiosity, what benefits do YOU assign to FGM? [/QUOTE]
