[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are mild to moderate health benefits to circ of males: It reduces UTIs, HPV, HIV, syph, and chancroids in boys. It also reduces penile cancer, which is admittedly. It also reduces HPV in girls. Complications are rare. Studies show no decrease in function and no psychological effects. You can read the NIH report on circ and the need for Medicaid, Medicare and insurance coverage here:http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.2008.134403 It's a moderately beneficial procedure with a low risk of complications which has little to no effect on function. Get over it. This isn't mutilation or child abuse. It's a medical procedure that is supported by the data. [/quote] This has been posted before but it bears repeating: international medical scholars come to a different conclusion, and view the evidence for the medical benefits as tenuous: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2013/03/12/peds.2012-2896.abstract[/quote]
