Male circumcision for men implies it.removal by surgery. This operation can be viewed from two completely different points of view: religious and medical. Muslim and Jewish peoples have male circumcision due to cultural traditions, rather than medical indications.
Let us turn to reliable historical facts.Researchers found that the act of circumcision was an obligatory religious ritual, which every man of a tribe who reached a certain age had to undergo. Initially, circumcision replaced the pagan rites of human sacrifice. Circumcision of men in Judaism served almost the same function, it was a sign of the boy's acceptance into a certain religious community. The practice of circumcision of the male foreskin in the Middle Eastern Muslim countries has been taking place only since the end of the 3rd millennium BC.
Turks committed circumcision of the foreskinBoys who have reached the age of 8–13 years old, in the Arab countries, the ritual was performed at the 6th year of the child’s life; Muslim boys of the Malay Archipelago were subjected to operations to reach 10–13 years old. The accomplishment of the act of circumcision in these countries was accompanied, as a rule, by festivals that are partly religious, partly social in nature. A clergyman or doctor-healer was invited to conduct a ritual operation. In Christianity, circumcision was a type of baptism. In the very first Christian communities, all men, without exception, were subjected to this procedure, the mention of it is present in the pages of the New Testament. By the way, the circumcision of the foreskin was the main reason for the persecution of the Jews in the 1st century AD.
Male circumcision is not only religiouscharacter. It may be medically necessary. One of them is the presence of a disease such as phimosis - the narrowing of the foreskin followed by the impossibility of exposing the head of the penis. This disease manifests itself at an early age, it interferes with the normal process of emptying the bladder and gives a lot of inconvenience. Phimosis in an adult male leads to disruption of the kidneys, has a negative impact on sex life or makes it impossible. If there is evidence of circumcision in men is performed under local anesthesia, the whole operation takes no more than 20 minutes of time.
It is known that circumcision contributes toduration of intercourse. This is due to the gradual decrease in the sensitivity of the glans penis. Male circumcision reduces the possibility of contracting a female partner with the HPV virus that causes cervical cancer. Moreover, circumcision is often associated with a high level of hygiene. Constantly open head of the penis is really more hygienic, the presence of skin folds, on the contrary, contributes to the rapid reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.
Обрезание - это все-таки хирургическое intervention, which means it can cause complications. In addition, opponents of this procedure are confident that everything in man is perfectly provided by nature, including the foreskin. They argue that in our body there are no excess tissues and organs, and circumcision at will is only violence against our own body. Everyone has the right to their point of view. To agree to such an operation or not is a private matter. However, the fact that modern men are much more fortunate than their ancient predecessors is undeniable. Today, circumcision is performed only in the clinical setting with the surgeon’s scalpel, regardless of whether the act is a manifestation of a man’s religious affiliation or has medical indications.
