In Indonesia, "circumcision" has already become a tradition for boys who are teenage. The party is usually held as a sign of family happiness that her son was daring circumcised. Behind the tradition, circumcision did in fact save the many benefits, especially for boys. However, what about the boys who are not circumcised?
Penis on a new baby boy born have extra skin
New baby boy born has an extra protective layers of skin on the head of the penis (glans). This skin layer is called the preputium or foreskin. At birth, this attached to the preputium penis head and this is a normal thing. Along with the growth of the child, the greater the preputium began separating from the head of the penis naturally.
Preputium should be completely separate from the head of the penis at the time of puberty or it could be going faster, while children aged 5 years. Let the preputium apart naturally, do not impose the preputium apart more quickly.
As the children got older, this will normally be omitted preputium or commonly known as circumcision. Removing this preputium (circumcision) is a tradition, a form of self hygiene, or to prevent a variety of diseases. However, for some people may be circumcision is not considered to be something that should be done.
What if the penis is not circumcision?
The uncircumcised penis requires extra care. You have to really clean your penis properly. Drag the preputium to be in a comfortable position and clean the penis head that looks up to the net. After cleaning it, make sure there is no remaining SOAP residue. SOAP can cause irritation to sensitive skin on the head of the penis.
The uncircumcised penis is more susceptible to certain diseases or agents bacteria, so hygiene must be fully heeded. If not, then the man who had not been circumcised could increase the risk of various diseases, such as:
Sexually transmitted disease
Men who are not circumcised are more at risk of experiencing gonorrhea and inflammation of the urethra. Other sexually transmitted diseases, like syphilis, human herpes simplex, human papillomavirus, also is more common in men who are not circumcised. In addition, the existence of the preputium on men who are not circumcised are also a major risk factor for HIV infection. Men who are not circumcised had HIV risk of 2 to 8 times greater compared to men who were circumcised.
This could happen because of the growth of the agent that causes the sexually transmitted disease are more prone to occur in men who are not circumcised. Omission preputium or circumcision can protect men from a variety of ailments.
Penile cancer
Cancer of the penis can occur in men who are not circumcised, and can cause death by 25%. Some research suggests that men who are circumcised newborn when no one had cancer of the penis. In addition to cancer of the penis, a male who is not circumcised can also suffer from prostate cancer by possibility of 50-100% greater than men who were circumcised.
Inflammation and infection of the penis
The uncircumcised penis can experience a variety of inflammation, such as inflammation of the head of the penis/glans (balanitis), inflammation of the preputium (posthitis), and inflammation of the penis head and preputium (balanoposthitis). Men who are not circumcised can also experience the fimosis, namely, the inability of the preputium to pulled back to back, and parafimosis, i.e., the condition of the penis wedged the preputium because can not return to its normal position. This condition is common in men who are not circumcised and very rarely occurs in men who have been circumcised since preputium already eliminated.
What are the benefits of performing a circumcision?
Circumcision is a surgical procedure which certainly can be painful. Problems that you can experience when performing a circumcision is a pain, risk of infection, bleeding and irritation on the head of the penis, and risk of injury to the penis.
But behind the risk that you accept this, you will get the health benefits. Although only removes a bit of the skin on the penis (preputium), but proved it can prevent many diseases, such as:
Urinary tract infections
The incidence of urinary tract infections in men found lower in the circumcised versus uncircumcised. Research in 1982 indicating that urinary tract infections more going on than a baby boy and baby girl, later revealed that 95% of infants who experience infections turned out to have not been circumcised. Circumcision could prevent the growth of bacteria under the preputium, so that it can protect you from urinary tract infections.
Prostate cancer
Circumcision can protect men from prostate cancer risk, as has been proved by research University of Quebec's INRS-Institut Armand-Frappier
