			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.ehealthlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/circumcision.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-744" style="border: 1px solid #E9E8E8; margin: 5px;" title="circumcision" src="http://www.ehealthlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/circumcision.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>It is hard for parents to decide about the circumcision of their baby boy, but this procedure reduces the risk of many infections later in life, a new study suggested.</p>
<p>In the study, including 5,000 uncircumcised males, researchers found that after circumcision the events of infections of herpes and transmission of HPV, which is a major cause of cervical cancer in female, was reduced by 28 and thirty-five percent respectively.</p>
<p>Many previous researches have almost similar findings and also concluded that circumcision reduce the risk of HIV by 60 percent.</p>
<p>“These findings may one day change the policy and recommend the circumcision as vital tool for the better protection against herpes, HIV and VPV,” lead researcher Dr. Thomas Quinn said.</p>
<p><span id="more-743"></span>Researchers defined the reasons of removing projected skin of penis. The foreskin of has two types of skin the outer and inner. The outer skin closely resembles to the body skin but inner skin resembles to the vaginal cell as it has some mucous cells which is an ideal habitat for the viruses. During intercourse the foreskin pulled back and mucosal skin exposed. It makes easier for the virus to get transfer from men to women.</p>
<p>Likewise if women passed the virus, they attached to the mucosal skin and start to replicate. Reduction was so dramatically that forces the researchers to recheck the blood samples for viral infections but they found no significant difference.</p>
<p>These findings suggest that parents have to discuss their physicians all about circumcision. It’s a easier and short procedure with almost zero complication in neonates but its effects are long term.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Three newly conducted studies strengthen the evidence that a minor procedure of circumcision protects men against deadly AIDS virus and the sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer in women.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://ehealthlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/circumcised-men1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-371 aligncenter" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="circumcised-men" src="http://www.ehealthlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/circumcised-men-300x250.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>Dr. Bertran Auvert and his colleagues examined more than 1,200 men visiting a clinic in South Africa.</p>
<p>They found that, less than 15 percent of circumcised males and 22 percent of uncircumcised men were infected and the carrier of HPV, which is the main cause of cervical cancer and genital warts in females.</p>
<p><span id="more-367"></span>&#8220;These studies explain, why the women with circumcised sex partners are at a reduced risk of cervical cancer than the women with the uncircumcised,&#8221; researchers said.</p>
<p>The circumcised men have half of the chances to have HPV than uncircumcised men, after few adjustments for other differences between the two divided groups, According to the second report.</p>
<p>In third report, Lee and colleagues, in Baltimore, tested African-American men and they came to know that just 10 percent circumcised have the high risk of HIV infection, compared to 22 percent of uncircumcised.</p>
<p>&#8220;Circumcision was linked with significantly reduced HIV risk in patients with known HIV exposure, suggesting that results of other studies demonstrating reduced HIV risk for circumcision among heterosexual men likely can be generalized to the U.S. context,&#8221; they wrote.</p>
<p>But they found that the American Academy of Pediatrics is not recommending regular circumcision for newborns.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a result of this decision, health insurance program for poor and disables (Medicaid) does not cover circumcision costs, and this is mainly prejudicial for poor African American and Hispanic boys who, may face high HIV exposure risk in their adulthood,&#8221; Gray and colleagues wrote.</p>
