NORMAL -v- CIRCUMCISED.
U.S. NEONATAL MALE GENITAL RATIO.

Interest in the genital integrity issue continues to grow and trustworthy statistics are necessary for an informed debate.

The American Academy of Pediatrics complained that statistics being cited are outdated and inaccurate.

The goal of this paper is to provide recent, accurate and consistent statistics for that discussion. 

This white paper addresses United States neonatal male circumcisions performed in hospitals.

STATISTICS ON HUMAN GENITAL MUTILATION.

STATISTICS ON HUMAN GENITAL MUTILATION.


NOTE:
No comprehensive world records are kept regarding the exact
number of men and women now alive who were subjected as children
to genital mutilation customs, or the number of boys and girls today
who are customarily mutilated.

Even in the United States, no complete and accurate records are kept
of the number of circumcisions performed, or the number of
circumcision-related complications or deaths.

The figures below are conservative estimates based on reliable statistical sources.

COMPLICATIONS OF CIRCUMCISION.

COMPLICATIONS of CIRCUMCISION.

 

Circumcision remains a common operation, with over 30 000 procedures performed annually in the UK, mostly on children.

 

The British Medical Association has recommended that circumcision should be performed only for medical reasons.

 

Despite this, controversy exists over whether too many circumcisions are being performed.
