Male Circumcision
|
Male circumcision is the procedure where some, or all, of the foreskin (prepuce) is cut from the penis. The frenulum may also be cut away at the same time in a procedure called a frenectomy. Genital integrity supporters condemn all infant circumcision as genital mutilation, considering male circumcision as comparable to female genital cutting, while proponents consider infant circumcision as a public health good. Keywords genital integrity, genital mutilation, elective circumcision, informed consent, sexual health, public health intervention, genital alteration, genital modification, medical circumcisions, hygiene, circumcision and HIV prevention, medicalization of circumcision, forced genital cutting |
