Phimosis hardly compares to a risk of death or genital loss.
Risk of death from bleeding only happens in babies with underlying blood clotting conditions.How many cases of genital loss have you heard of in this century in the US?
The risk of infant death from circumcision is about the same as from SIDS. We do all sorts of inconvenient things to prevent SIDS death. But yet so many choose voluntary surgery on their child’s genitals for minor/questionable health benefits while downplaying the risks.
Bananas , hahahahaha made up stats. No you are more likely to die of uncirc diseases moron because the risks for circs are so low it's not measurable

I mentioned to my almost 7 year old DS that we chose not to circumcise him, and he said he was grateful. 
On the other hand, sometimes I worry that he'll have issues with adhesion, because he doesn't want to pull the skin up, he says it's uncomfortable. Most likely it'll be fine, as he gets older this may well self-correct. But it's a chance you take when you don't circumcise.

If the rate of STDs, penile cancer and other (less serious) infections were such a big problem, why hasn't it become standard procedure in any other developed countries?
Is hygiene practice here that bad?

Okay, sheeple! You should probably go put some more tin foil on your windows.

It doesn’t matter if HIV is prevalent in the region, it matters if it’s prevalent in the person one has second with. I believed in the science - health related benefits of reducing likelihood of disease transmission - and I also recall working with pediatric patients who had multi-day hospital stays for circumcision at an older (pre-teen/early teen age).
The “uncut” son of anti-circ parents we know was recently circumcised at age 11. He was out of school for about a week and out of sports for something like 2-3 weeks while he recovered. It was apparently a very unpleasant (and humiliating) experience for him.
We circumcised after talking to an RN friend of ours. She said she'd care for many boys that had to have it done because of infections and other problems, and said every she now recommended circumcision for everyone.

Doctor here. I did circumcise my son. I realize that HIV prevalence is lower here, but circumcision can also reduce other infection transmission rates that would not only impact my son, but also his future partners.

Circumcision has also shown to greatly reduce transmission of HPV and herpes. However, it has not been shown to have an effect on syphilis so there's that, but syphilis is curable. HPV and herpes are not.
It may also reduce the rate of (rare) penile cancer and possibly cervical cancer in women.
We circumcised our son. We also have our kids the hpv vaccines.

You are ignorant and have obviously not traveled much. The rest of the world outside the US, except in Muslim and Jewish population/geographical areas do not circumcise routinely.
