Is Circumcision Ever Medically Necessary?

• There is a less than 1% chance that circumcision will ever be medically necessary
• If only one out of a hundred boys will require circumcision later, why then should the remaining 99% be circumcised?
• Infection? Antibiotics!
• Most problems can be avoided by proper care of an intact penis-it’s not hard but some doctors aren’t aware that forcing a retraction can cause infection
• Look at the statistics in countries that don't routinely circumcise.
•  In Finland, the rate of circumcision for ALL MALES is 1 in 16,667 over the course of DECADES. 
• That includes Jewish and Muslim circumcisions as well as those which are 'medically necessary.' 
• I somehow doubt that many, if any at all, of those circumcisions were actually necessary. 
• As a matter of fact, I cannot think of one true reason to medically circumcise, barring gangrene due to diabetes and subsequent (very rare) blood circulation problems.
  
• Females have a glans covered by a prepuce as well. 
• Those can be unretractable, and can even get caught and stuck behind the clitoris. 
• What is the rate of necessary female circumcisions? ZERO.
  
• Virtually all maladies where the foreskin is involved (including phimosis and paraphimosis) occur in populations where circumcision does or has existed. Why? Because in areas where circumcision exists(ed), it is always brought about by fear tactics against the 'dirty foreskin', and otherwise loving parents are taught somewhere along the way that the foreskin is so incredibly prone to infections that it must be retracted to be cleaned from birth forward. 
• Forcible retraction, especially that of a repetitive nature causes these cases of phimosis and paraphimosis (not to mention UTIs and balantitis) by forming scar tissue and preventing full development of the sexual organs.
