Answer 2

Circumcision cuts some or all of the foreskin (prepuce) from the penis. The frenulum may also be cut away at the same time, in a procedure called frenectomy. The word "circumcision" comes from Latin circum (meaning "around") and caedere (meaning "to cut"). Circumcision predates recorded human history, with depictions found in stone-age cave drawings and Egyptian tombs.[1] The origins of the practice are lost in antiquity. Theories include that circumcision is a form of ritual sacrifice or offering, a sign of submission to a deity, a rite of passage to adulthood, a mark of defeat or slavery, or an attempt to alter esthetics or sexuality.[2] Circumcision of males is a religious requirement of the Muslim and Jewish faiths.[3][4] It is also practiced by the majority of Americans, South Koreans,[5] and Filipinos.[6]

Answer 3

See the following links. The first link has a link to a video clip of a typical infant circumcison being done. Be aware it's not for the weak of heart. The second link shows some of the potential complications of circumcision if it's performed incorrectly or if post-operative care is lacking (aka, the part on the parents is lacking).

Answer 4

Well, Kamryn, I must admit that I'm having trouble believing you are serious, but, what the heck, I'll answer it anyway. Circumcision for males is the removal of the prepuce, or foreskin, at the tip of the penis. The clitoris of females can be circumcised, but I'm not sure how it's done, and it is very rare. Every male is born with this foreskin, and it is a religious rite handed down from before Jesus' time to have it removed. Today, there is virtually no religious basis for it, and it's mainly done because it is believed to make for a cleaner and healthier penis.

Answer 5

Surgical drape is placed over the patient.

Some doctors will use local anaesthesia, but this is by no means common. Anaesthetic injections will cause the penis to swell, causing pain and making the surgery more difficult. Both injections and topical anaesthetic creams can be dangerous. General anaesthesia is never used on young babies because of the risk of breathing problems.

The foreskin opening in a newborn is normally very small, to prevent the entry of foreign matter (eg. fecal matter). The first stage of circumcision is to grasp the foreskin with forceps, and widen the opening.

The foreskin is normally attached to the glans by a membrane called the synechia.

The glans and inner lining of the foreskin are still developing in the young child.

During circumcision, the synechia must be torn apart. Naturally, this is painful.

The foreskin is clamped. A slit is made in the dorsal side of the foreskin.

The slit is separated and the foreskin is laid back, exposing the raw and bleeding glans.

A PlastiBell of appropriate size is slipped over the glans, and the foreskin is laid over it.

A ligature is tied in the ridge of the bell, as tightly as possible around the foreskin.
Oozing will occur if the ligature is loose.

After one or two minutes to allow for crush, the foreskin is sliced off at the distal edge of the ligature using a knife or scissors. The surgeon trims as much tissue as possible to reduce the amount of necrotic tissue and the possibility of infection. The handle of the bell is snapped off at this time.

The rim of tissue will become necrotic (dead) and separate with the bell in 5 to 10 days. Occasionally, edema (swelling) will trap the plastic ring on the shaft of the penis. In this case it's usually necessary to cut off the ring, using a guide and ring cutter, although application of ice will sometimes reduce edema enough to remove the ring.

Circumcision removes (on average) one third of the penile skin system (sensitive inner and outer preputial layers), including the peripenic dartos muscle, the frenar band, and part of the frenulum.

Answer 6

when you are born, there is what is called a foreskin on the penis. you would have to pull it back, literally, retracting or rollingback the outer skin, every time you had to pee. so when you were a few days old, the odds are good your mom had you curcumsized, meaning, the doctor removed the foreskin (cut it off, the foreskin, I mean) it greatly reduces the amount of urinary infections, too, since if you didn't get circumsized you'd have to remember to pull back the skin and wash every time you take a shower. in the jewish faith , the ceremony of circumsizion is called a "briss" (sp?) anyway, it is much more prevalent in the U.S. than in other countries, and that is what it is.

Answer 7

The single best resource I've seen on the topic is Penn and Teller's Bullsh*t show on Showtime. They do a full episode on the first disc of Season Three, including showing the procedure, talking about the history, and discussing pros and cons.

Answer 8

Circumcision cuts some or all of the foreskin (prepuce) from the penis. The frenulum may also be cut away at the same time, in a procedure called frenectomy. The word "circumcision" comes from Latin circum (meaning "around") and caedere (meaning "to cut"). Circumcision predates recorded human history, with depictions found in stone-age cave drawings and Egyptian tombs. The origins of the practice are lost in antiquity. Theories include that circumcision is a form of ritual sacrifice or offering, a sign of submission to a deity, a rite of passage to adulthood, a mark of defeat or slavery, or an attempt to alter esthetics or sexuality. Circumcision of males is a religious requirement of the Jewish faith, as well as some adherents of Islam.Circumcision is also practiced by a shrinking majority of Americans, for mainly aesthetic reasons; as well as South Koreans, and Filipinos.

Infant circumcision has come under increasing discussion in recent decades. The American Medical Association states that medical associations in the US, Australia, and Canada do not recommend routine “non-therapeutic” circumcision, which it defines as the non-religious, non-ritualistic, not medically necessary, elective circumcision of male newborns. According to the AMA's 1999 literature review, in the US when parents choose elective circumcision for their child, it is largely because of social or cultural expectations, rather than medical concerns. However, a 2001 survey questionare found that 23.5% of parents listed 'health reasons'. The genital integrity movement condemns all infant circumcision, religious or secular, as a form of male genital mutilation that they consider comparable to female genital mutilation. Some argue that there are medical benefits in the procedure (i.e. fewer urinary tract infection in infant males, less penile cancer in adult males, and possibly less sexually transmissible infections, including HIV—Human Immunodeficiency Virus).Circumcision may be needed to treat chronic inflammation of the penis, and penile cancer. Some physicians recommend circumcision to treat phimosis, while others recommend the other effective treatments for this condition.

Answer 9

The foreskin of the penis is cut. It suppose to prevent infection from stuff building up under there. If your getting it done as an adult much luck to you

Answer 10

Circumcision in males Is usually done by a doctor or Rabbi who mutilates the male by hacking off the foreskin with a knife.The exposed glans then become dry and it looks like a prune.

Answer 11

The foreskin of the penis gets clipped and sewed or folded over and sewed with stitches. I hear it is exremely soreness when this is done but goes away.
All babies are required to get circumsized if they are male in USA.
