For many years, penis circumcision has been a common procedure on men, whether at a young age or during teenage hood. Today, controversy still surrounds this practice and many men who have in fact undergone the procedure think it is unnecessary. While the tradition of removal of the foreskin is mostly attached to religious and cultural beliefs, medical experts today advocate for the practice due to the numerous health benefits that come with it. Toronto circumcision centers can easily offer this service for a male of any age.

Opponents of this procedure argue that removal of the foreskin leaves a member with only a partially functioning organ. Those who support circumcision point out the fact that the procedure reduces the risk of contracting diseases as well as making personal hygiene easier for the man.

The accumulation of dead cells, body oils and other bodily fluids, collectively known as smegma under the foreskin forms a major breeding ground for harmful bacteria. This can cause foul odor and serious infections on the penis and the urinary tract. Removing the foreskin easily helps solve this problem and is thus widely acknowledged as an effective preventive measure against most diseases.

Research done by many experts indicates that removal of the foreskin reduces the possibility of contracting and spreading sexually transmitted infections including HIV. It also reduces the risk of occurrence of penile cancer. The buildup of body oils and dead cells that usually occur under the foreskin to cause infections is eliminated.

Even with the reports of immense benefits, some people do not however see any real benefits that come with removal of the foreskin. The procedure is therefore unnecessary. As part of the body, it is meant to protect underlying tissue and prevent it from contacting harmful substances from outside. It also protects the soft tissue from unnecessary friction.

Remember that if the penis is not properly taken care of after the cut, it will dry up, be scaly and experience discomfort if exposed to any kind of friction.

Generally, a male will be observed first to determine if they can withstand a minor surgery. A local anesthesia is administered before the foreskin is cut. Afterwards, sutures are applied to close the incision and a dressing applied to the area to keep it clean. Some swelling and pain may occur but this is easily controlled with a prescription of pain relievers. After the patient goes home, they are required to keep the area clean to facilitate faster healing without any complications. If however the pain persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

The procedure of circumcision is entirely a personal choice for adult males and the parents of baby boys. It is best to be fully informed before undergoing the procedure. Most of the doctors in Toronto hospitals assist in explaining to parents the benefits, any risks attached and offer guidance all through until the healing is complete. As discussed earlier, the benefits of this procedure are overwhelmingly immense and therefore should be an appealing idea to most adult males. Regardless of this, it is still important to note that whether a person is cut or uncut remains a non issue when socializing.
