@instituteofhumananatomy: Circumcision is one of the oldest and most common surgical procedures in the world. Here's what actually happens. 🔬 The procedure itself is straightforward in principle. First, the foreskin (the prepuce) is separated and marked. Then it's carefully cut away from around the glans. Finally, the remaining edges are sutured, leaving the glans exposed. But the reasons it's performed are anything but simple. While the exact motivations vary from person to person and place to place, circumcision is done for a mix of medical, cultural, and religious reasons, and it's also commonly performed as a routine newborn procedure in some parts of the world and rarely in others. Understanding the anatomy underneath, the prepuce, the glans, and the layers involved, is what makes the procedure make sense. 👉 Want to go deeper into the reproductive system?

There is no need to do this. Unless its for medical reason, which is rare, its simply child abuse. 😳

I don’t understand though it’s normal and there for a reason unless there is a mutation later in life where it’s just gone completely then I’d understand but your body is the way it is for a reason

I still remember my circumcision, I was 4 (my only memory from that age) and how I used to walk around without pants, like a penguin, afterwards.
