ARTICLES RELATED TO History of male circumcision - Circumcision in the Ancient World | | | |  History of male circumcision - Circumcision in the Ancient World: Encyclopedia II - History of male circumcision - Circumcision in the Ancient WorldThe oldest documentary evidence for circumcision comes from Egypt. Tomb artwork from the Sixth Dynasty (2345 - 2181 BC) shows men with circumcised penises, and one relief from this period shows the rite being performed on a standing adult male. The Egyptian hieroglyph for "penis" depicts either a circumcised or an erect organ. The examination of Egyptian mummies has found both circumcised and uncircumcised men.
Circumcision was common, although not universal, among ancient Semitic peoples. The Book of Jeremiah, written in the sixth ce ...

| | | | History of male circumcision - Circumcision in the Ancient World: Encyclopedia II - History of male circumcision - Male Circumcision in the Greco-Roman World According to Hodges, ancient Greek aesthetics of the human form considered circumcision a mutilation of a previously perfectly shaped organ. Greek artwork of the period portrayed penises as covered by the foreskin (sometimes in exquisite detail), except in the portrayal of satyrs, lechers, and barbarians.[1]
This dislike of the appearance of the circumcised penis led to a decline in the incidence of circumcision among many peoples that had previously practiced it throughout Hellenistic times. In Egypt, only the priestly caste retained ...

| | | | History of male circumcision - Circumcision in the Ancient World: Encyclopedia II - History of male circumcision - Circumcision since 1950 In 1949, a lack of consensus in the medical community as to whether circumcision carried with it any notable health benefit motivated the United Kingdom's newly-formed National Health Service to remove routine infant circumcision from its list of covered services. Since then, circumcision has been an out-of-pocket cost to parents, and the fraction of newborns circumcised in the hospital has fallen to less than one percent.
Similar trends have operated in Canada. Individual provincial heath services began delisting circumcision in the ...

Major medical organizations in the United States and Canada now say that parents should decide what is in their child's best interests, declining to make a recommendation one way or another.

In that year, Lewis Sayre, a prominent New York orthopedic surgeon and vice president of the newly-formed American Medical Association, examined a five-year-old boy who was unable to straighten his legs, and whose condition had so far defied treatment. Upon noting that the boy's genitals were inflamed, Sayre hypothesized that chronic irritation of the boy's foreskin had paralyzed his knees via reflex neurosis. Sayr ...

Richard Burton observed that "Christendom practically holds circumcision in horror". This attitude is reflected in the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (1876) which discusses the practice as a religious rite among Jews, Moslems, the ancient Egyptians and tribal peoples in various parts of the world. The author of the entry rejected sanitary explanations of the procedure in favour of a religious one: "like other ...

In her 1978 article The Ritual of Circumcision,[16] Karen Erickson Paige writes: "In the United States, the current medical rationale for circumcision developed after the operation was in wide practice. The original reason for the surgical removal of the foreskin, or prepuce, was to control 'masturbatory insanity' - the range of menta ...
