[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dalia*: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sultan.org(In Makka ): [qb] Urinary tract infections. Urinary tract infections. Circumcision decreases the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) tenfold in the first year of life, and the decreased risk continues for the first five years of life. Ginsberg and McCracken first reported a relationship between circumcision and UTI in 1982. Of 62 male infants admitted to the hospital with UTI, they found that 95% were uncircumcised. Wiswell's 1985 hospital-based study reported fewer UTIs during the first year of life in circumcised males. A much larger, two-part study by Wiswell and Roscelli the following year confirmed these initial findings. In the first part of the larger study, which included 3,924 infants born at Brooke Army Medical Center, the frequency of UTI in uncircumcised males was 1.1%, ten times the frequency found in circumcised males (0.1%). in the second part of the study, of 422,328 infants born over a 10-year period, uncircumcised males made up only 19.3% of the study population but accounted for 70.8% of the UTIs. Even more significant, as the rate of circumcision decreased over the years, the number of UTIs increased. Data from 100,000 Swedish children confirmed Wiswell's findings, revealing a risk of 1.1% for uncircumcised males in the first year of life. More recently, several reports have demonstrated that the risk of UTI is lower for circumcised than uncircumcised males beyond the first year, at least through 5 years of age. A study published in December by To and colleagues supports the findings of decreased risk of UTI for circumcised males but notes that the protective effect of circumcision may be less than previously thought. http://www.rogerknapp.com/medical/circum.htm [/qb][/QUOTE]Err ... this is referring to MALE circumcision which is a whole different issue altogether, so it doesn't have any significance for the discussion at hand. A penis is used for urinating, a clitoris is not. I'm surprised you didn't know that. :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
