We recently talked about the place of circumcision in many cultures and religions, which was applied for the first time in Ancient Egypt, in sexual health. In addition to its effects on health, we also mentioned that a verse in the Qur’an is thought to indicate that this procedure is not necessary. Now, we will talk about the origin of circumcision and the necessity of this process in the light of today’s data, rather than in which religions it is.
In a recent study, over 800,000 circumcised men were examined over a period of 22 years. Looking at the health data of the participants, it was determined that circumcision did not reduce the possibility of transmission of the HIV virus that causes AIDS. In addition, it has been revealed that sexually transmitted infections are more easily transmitted to circumcised people in general.
Reduces protection against infections
A study of 810,719 men who were circumcised newborn or childhood in Denmark revealed that circumcision does more harm than good. Of the participants whose sexual health data were collected over 22 years, 0.42% were circumcised for non-therapeutic purposes. 1.05% received medical attention for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Compared to uncircumcised men, circumcised men appeared not to be more protected from these infections.
Contrary to popular belief, circumcised men were found to be 53% more susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases. This study, which was conducted on men born between 1977 and 2013, revealed that genital warts and syphilis are more common in circumcised men. The reasons given for performing circumcision were always grouped under two headings: It protects against sexually transmitted diseases and it provides a positive effect on sexual life by preventing situations such as premature ejaculation. It was previously revealed that circumcision does not prevent premature ejaculation, but rather increases it. With this research, it became clear that circumcision, which is applied without a problem, not to treat any skin problem, makes men more vulnerable to diseases.
