From religious preferences, family tradition to personal hygiene, there\nare many reasons why parents would agree to circumcision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nother contexts, such as men certain parts of Africa prefer to be circumcised in\norder to reduce risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sexologistbengaluru.com\/sexually-transmitted-disease-stds\/\"><strong>sexually transmitted diseases<\/strong><\/a> or infections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\naddition to this, there are many more health benefits to being circumcised. The\nAmerican Academy of Pediatrics had also confirmed that the benefits of\ncircumcision far outweigh the risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Circumcise?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Easier to Maintain Hygiene: A circumcised\npenis is much easier to wash as compared to an uncircumcised penis, and lowers\nrisk of the collection of dead skin cells. However, males with uncircumcised\npenises can be guided on the right way to wash beneath their foreskin. <\/li><li>Decreased Risk of Urinary Infections:\nWhile the risk of urinary tract infections are generally low in males, there\nhave been findings that proved these infections are found to be more common in\nuncircumcised males. A severe infection of the urinary tract can result in bladder\nand\/or kidney problems as the individual grows older. <\/li><li>Easy Prevention of Penile Problems:\nThere have been cases where the foreskin of the uncircumsized penis is unable\nto retract, and attempting to do so is either painful or uncomfortable for the\nmale. This tends to result in an inflammation of the foreskin on the head of\nthe penis. <\/li><li>Decreased risk of sexual transmitted\ndiseases and infections: Clinical studies have revealed that circumcised males\nhave a lower risk of being prone to sexually transmitted infections like HIV.\nIt has been indicated that the foreskin contains a specific set of cells that\nattract the HIV virus cells, thereby making the male more prone to being\ninfected. <\/li><li>Decreased risk of penile cancer: The\ngeneral percentage of being diagnosed with penile cancer is rare, however, the\npossibility is even less in circumcised men. In addition to this, it\u2019s found\nthat cancer of the cervix is less likely in female sexual partners of\ncircumcised men. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Post\nthe circumcision surgery, it takes around ten days for the foreskin to heal in\nbabies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However,\nin older boys and adult men, the healing process often takes upto three weeks\nor more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is\nonly a small price to pay for the array of health benefits that being\ncircumcised offers, and Ayush Health Clinic, the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sexologistbengaluru.com\/\"><strong>Sexologists in Bangalore<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;promises a reliable and painless\nprocedure. \n\nWhile\nthe process of circumcision is not compulsory, it is recommended that males,\nwho have a choice to be circumcised or not, decide to go through the process\nfor their benefit.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Circumcision is a surgical process that follows the removal of the foreskin from the male penis.
