Male and Female Circumcision or Genital Mutilation in Men and Women

Abstract

Circumcision is the surgical removal of a large section of the male genitalia or the cutting, usually non-surgical, of a large section of the female genitalia. Male and female circumcision implies aggression to the genitals of minors of both sexes, whether due to tradition, social pressures, religious prejudices or business, causing unnecessary damage to the organism of children such as intense pain, fear, bleeding, infection, deformations, sexual dysfunctions, infertility, necrosis, shock, gangrene or death. This vicious cycle must stop worldwide
