Circoncisione, metodi alternativi per la cura della fimosi

Circoncisione, metodi alternativi per la cura della fimosi

Troppo spesso alcuni argomenti sono filtrati da tabù e stereotipi di tutti i tipi, e per questo motivo, per quanto si possa cercare di reperire informazioni, la nostra conoscenza è sempre limitata. Prova ne sono i vari luoghi comuni sulla pratica della circoncisione, da noi conosciuta principalmente per essere una tradizione della religione ebraica, alimentata dall’immaginario creato dai film. Effettivamente questa è una prassi abituale per gli ebrei, visto che all’ottavo giorno di vita i neonati devono essere circoncisi secondo la legge ebraica.

Questa pratica naturalmente non è utilizzata soltanto dagli ebrei, tutt’altro. La circoncisione è molto diffusa nei paesi islamici, negli U.S.A., in Africa e nel Sud-Est asiatico. In Europa, Sudamerica, Africa del Sud, e gran parte dell’Asia è una pratica molto infrequente.

La circoncisione non è praticata solo per ragioni religiose, tribali o estetiche, ma soprattutto per casi di natura soltanto medica. Ma cos’è realmente?

Si tratta di circoncisione quando si esporta chirurgicamente dal pene il prepuzio. Un semplice intervento utilizzato per la cura di una patologia che colpisce molti uomini: la fimosi, il restringimento dell’orifizio del prepuzio che impedisce al glande di essere scoperto completamente e autonomamente.

Anche se c’è molta poca informazione, questa affezione colpisce tantissimi individui di senso maschile, può essere congenita, oppure contratta da adulti, solitamente in seguito a qualche brutta infezione. Per quanto concerne ai bambini, è comprovato che si risolve entro il quarto anno di età nel 90% dei casi, senza il bisogno di ricorrere alla chirurgia.

Nelle situazioni più serie, l’intervento di circoncisione è d’obbligo. In attesa dell’operazione è raccomandata una terapia prescritta da uno specialista in urologia. La fimosi non è assolutamente da sottovalutare, perché il caso può diventare peggiore col passare del tempo, causando lesioni notevoli. Bisogna ad ogni costo superare la discrezione di partenza ed ogni imbarazzo e rivolgersi ad un medico.


La fimosi va individuata nel momento in cui è allo stadio iniziale, quando è possibile seguire una terapia con l’applicazione di pomate e farmaci direttamente sulla parte interessata.

La fimosi è una disfunzione che può essere superata e guarita, ma visto che colpisce un’area delicata come quella dei genitali, può avere delle conseguenze gravi, soprattutto per quello che riguarda il punto di vista psicologico, soprattutto nei maschi adulti. Eccetto casi molto seri, le funzionalità sessuali restano intatte, ma potrebbe cambiare l’approccio con l’altro sesso che può risultare più difficile e soprattutto più imbarazzante.

In caso di fimosi grave, come si svolge l’intervento?

Negli uomini adulti l’operazione è svolta in day hospital, in anestesia locale, non rendendo necessario il ricovero. Dopo l’intervento di circoncisione, e la conseguente asportazione del prepuzio contenente l’anello cicatriziale anelastico, sono applicati i punti che si riassorbono naturalmente nel tempo di due o quattro settimane. Essendo una zona molto delicata è fondamentale avere prudenza con le medicazioni, infatti, anche se è possibile svolgere le mansioni quotidiane come camminare o guidare, è sempre raccomandabile per evitare al massimo il sopraggiungere di infezioni, un periodo di riposo. Dopo circa 30 giorni è possibile riprendere l’attività sessuale senza particolari seccature.

Esistono però metodi meno invasivi che consentono il trattamento della fimosi senza essere costretti a ricorrere alla circoncisione, come quelli proposti da Phimostop. Con l’utilizzo dei tuboidi, dei dispositivi medici che se applicati sul glande consentono una progressiva dilatazione dell’anello cicatriziale fino al suo ritorno nel punto iniziale. I tuboidi sono venduti in confezioni, in cui sono presenti in diverse dimensioni in modo da essere messi evitando di forzare troppo il lume. Con il progredire della cura vanno applicati tuboidi di dimensioni sempre più grandi.

Naturalmente prima di stabilire la soluzione al problema e quale sia l’entità, è sempre necessario chiedere delucidazioni ad uno specialista che indichi la terapia.

Dal Consiglio d’Europa un taglio netto alla circoncisione

Da tempo ci si interroga ormai sulla liceità di circoncisione maschile e mutilazione genitale femminile, in quanto pratiche rituali che comportano menomazioni fisiche imposte ai bambini che non possono decidere. Una nuova sensibilità che arriva soprattutto nei paesi del nord Europa, dove è cresciuta la componente islamica e il problema si fa sentire tra le comunità di immigrati. L’anno scorso il tribunale di Colonia, in Germania, aveva paragonato la circoncisione maschile a una aggressione. Anche in Norvegia e in Svizzera ci si era interrogati sul tema, suscitando l’opposizione congiunta della comunità musulmana e di quella ebraica, che hanno parlato di violazione della libertà religiosa.

impedito ai medici di effettuare una circoncisione rituale imposta a un bambino

Il tema continua a far discutere in Germania, dove la corte di Hamm, nel Nord Reno-Vestfalia, ha di recente impedito ai medici di effettuare una circoncisione rituale imposta a un bambino di sei anni dalla madre, nata in Germania e di origine kenyota. Prima di visitare il Kenya, dove almeno l’80% dei maschi è circonciso, la donna voleva che il figlio fosse sottoposto alla pratica. Secondo la sentenza del tribunale la madre non avrebbe però considerato il danno psicologico che ciò avrebbe arrecato. In precedenza un tribunale di Dortmund aveva suggerito che fosse il locale ufficio per i minori a dover avere l’ultima parola su eventuali circoncisioni.

Ora arriva anche il parere del Consiglio d’Europa, che ha approvato un testo in cui si considera per la prima volta la circoncisione alla pari delle mutilazioni genitali femminili. Il documento è stato approvato dall’assemblea parlamentare del Consiglio con 77 sì, 19 no e 12 astensioni. Non chiede la messa al bando della circoncisione, ma la considera una violazione dell’integrità fisica dei minori. Piuttosto, vengono contestate le pratiche dei tatuaggi e dei piercing su minori, nonché gli interventi medici su bambini intersessuali. Il tutto all’insegna della definizione di criteri chiari per il rispetto delle norme sanitarie per quegli interventi che non hanno una motivazione medica. Agli stati membri viene chiesto di legiferare su questo tipo di operazioni, in particolare per garantire che il minore non debba subirle se non è in grado di dare il suo consenso.

Critiche a questa presa di posizione europea sono arrivate non a caso dalla Turchia e da Israele. Nel primo paese c’è in questi anni un ritorno di fiamma del conservatorismo islamico e il governo di Erdogan sta smantellando di fatto la laicità dello Stato: ultimo passo, è stato tolto il bando del velo per le impiegate pubbliche. Nel secondo pesa la forte identità nazionale e religiosa, considerato che la circoncisione è un tradizionale obbligo per gli ebrei. Secondo l’Organizzazione mondiale della Sanità circa il 30% dei maschi sopra i 15 anni ha subito la circoncisione, di cui 7 su 10 perché provenienti da famiglie musulmane.

Finalmente ci si comincia a rendere conto anche a livello internazionale di come sia difficile sostenere allo stesso tempo che infibulazione ed escissione di cui sono vittime le bambine siano da condannare, mentre sulla circoncisione dei maschietti per finalità rituali si debba chiudere un occhio. Si continua a dare per scontato che l’appartenenza religiosa o etnica debbano essere tramandate in famiglia anche con pratiche che marchiano il corpo delle persone, cosa che è una palese negazione della libertà di scelta. Non a caso, con la secolarizzazione non sono pochi quelli che oggi da adulti poi rifiutano la circoncisione, per ripristinare il tessuto con pratiche note come foreskin restoration.

L’appartenenza a una confessione religiosa deve essere sempre una libera scelta

L’appartenenza a una confessione religiosa deve essere sempre una libera scelta consapevole, quindi adulta o quantomeno adolescenziale. Sebbene non invasivo a livello fisico, anche il battesimo sui bambini rappresenta un marchio (un “sigillo indelebile” per la Chiesa cattolica) e una violazione della libertà di scelta. Un marchio riconosciuto dallo Stato e con effetti civili, perché la sentenza della corte d’appello di Firenze sul caso dei “concubini di Prato” on è mai stata contraddetta. Con conseguenze pratiche, come nei casi di coppie in cui uno dei due partner impone battesimo, riti o educazione religiosa ai figli in disaccordo con l’altro, in cui la giurisprudenza dà ragione a chi è religioso.

In una società sempre più plurale e globalizzata come la nostra, il segno di un’appartenenza diventa marchio della differenza, spesso anche della discriminazione e della contrapposizione rispetto al resto della società, la chiusura in un ghetto identitario. Con tutti gli strascichi a livello personale e i turbamenti che possono conseguirne. Purtroppo, questa appartenenza viene imposta, materialmente, anche sulla pelle dei bambini. Ma è ora di dare un taglio a queste pratiche.

Hands Off My Foreskin! Dr. Martin Winckler on the Care of Baby Boys

Hands Off My Foreskin! Dr. Martin Winckler on the Care of Baby Boys

Many young mothers today are very worried because their mother, or their mother-in-law, or their doctor, told them they must 'clean' the glans (head) of the penis of their baby boy, and that to do so, you must retract (i.e. roll back) the foreskin like a turtleneck. In reality, however, this should not be done. The practice of retraction only causes problems and has no benefits.

What follows is an article interview printed in the L’Arbre à bébé Association's November 2005 issue. For this interview I answered some questions on the delicate topic of proper penile care and retraction that I am now sharing here with you.




Question One: 

What is your position regarding foreskin retraction, as a physician and as a parent? Do you retract your own patients? Do you retract your own sons for 'cleaning?'

Answer: 

I have never retracted the foreskin of a boy. Not any one of my patients, nor any of my five sons. (I believe if I asked them what they think of foreskin retraction they would look at me like something was wrong with me to have such strange ideas!)

Very early in my career, in the early 1980s, while reading the work of pediatrician Aldo Naouri, I had the notion that the practice of retraction was not only unnecessary, but aggressive for everyone -- starting with those most concerned (the boys), but also for their parents. The act itself is aggressive because once you touch a little boy’s penis, an erection is induced. Not all mothers [or fathers] are going to be comfortable with this, and we understand why. Boys will often smile or laugh that it tickles and very quickly we find that parents prefer to leave that area alone to care for itself.

Question Two:

What do you think of the arguments commonly used by proponents of retraction (that retraction will prevent adhesions, phimosis)?

Answer: 

Phimosis is the condition in which the orifice of the foreskin is too tight to allow the glans to leave when the boy is erect. So it can not interfere with boys until the age at which they are likely to have intercourse. However, most studies that have been done on the subject show that any amount of retraction, 'just a little' or a lot, has no medical function, neither for hygienic purposes, nor to prevent phimosis, which is an uncommon condition to begin with. It used to be said that retraction was necessary to fight against adhesions and to 'clean up' anything under the prepuce. However, preputial secretions are as normal as vulvar secretions in the little girls. There is nothing wrong with them whatsoever. Never have we suggested that we 'clean' the vulva of our daughters with a cotton swab, yet I have seen mothers try to pass a cotton swab under the foreskin of their son because a doctor told them to do so!

Quite simply, the foreskin is self-cleaning. The orifice of the foreskin is tight at birth on purpose to prevent dirt (bacteria, viruses, etc.) from creeping into it. Retraction (a dilating force) is then entirely unnatural. And it hurts! Retraction causes tears and can cause paraphimosis (having the foreskin stuck in a retracted position behind a swollen glans) which itself is an emergency. This induced paraphimosis is actually much more common than true phimosis.

A common scenario: A mom wanted to retract a boy (usually in the bath). The manipulation resulted in a retraction after erection. Suddenly, the foreskin 'turtlenecks' (squeezes) the glans, which then swells and turns purple. The child yells. And in a warm bath, it gets worse. [Vasocongestion takes place, leading to more blood flow, a throbbing erection, and tighter constriction.] In short, parents call the doctor and then one of two things happen. Either the doctor panics and sends the child and his parents to the emergency room, or the doctor understands what has just happened solves it very simply:

1) Do not pull the foreskin forward after retraction and paraphimosis (it does not work).  

2) You must first empty the warm water bath. Then pour somewhat cooler water (but not iced/cold water) on the penis. The cooler water deflates the penile engorgement.  

3) Then gently squeeze the swollen glans (head) of the penis. As the penis deflates, the foreskin will start to roll back down over the glans by itself.  

I saw dozens of situations like this one early in my career. It was always among boys whose mothers had a slight obsession of making sure their son was 'clean,' or among those whose parents had conscientiously felt pressure to retract following the advice of a relative or highly invasive physician. So much so that their little boy was retracted three times each week - so often that these little boys begin to develop anxiety when their mothers approached them to change or 'clean' them. The more mothers touched their boys' penises in this fashion, the more young children became angry, the more it hurt, the more retraction became torment, until they developed paraphimosis. And then parents call for help. In short, it is a vicious cycle.

Very quickly I started to pass along the message to young parents that they should not even touch the foreskin. Leave it alone. And with this advice, over the years, I began to see less and less paraphimosis among my patients. There were now more and more happy little boys who tugged on their own foreskin, laughing, without anxiety. And I saw more and more mothers delighted with the fact that they did not have to handle their son's penis - in fact, they did not have to do anything for its care. I have not had any little boys need surgery on their penis during my career as a general practitioner, and I saw very few boys ever in need of surgery during medical school, because in my district, no doctor was a fan of retraction.

Question Three: 

At what age should I be worried and consider surgery for a boy whose foreskin does not retract?

Answer:

It's simple: you should never worry because there is no reason to worry. Foreskin retraction is a cultural practice [in a few nations], and does not take place at all in other countries. Still, there are no more cases of phimosis or 'problems' among those nations where foreskin retraction is unheard of. Retraction by someone other than a boy himself serves no purpose at any age. And yet, all parents of little boys can testify that fiddling and tugging on the foreskin are commonplace practices among infants and toddlers (up to eight to ten years old). This self-exploration causes no problems. Quite simply, the foreskin is not meant to be retracted by anyone other than the owner himself - it serves as a sheath to the glans in this way, a protector from outside invasion. As a child grows, the foreskin lengthens and softens over time. With puberty and masturbation, the foreskin opens on its own. It stretches along the penis little by little, allowing for erections to take place without cause for concern. By the time the hormones of puberty are in full swing, the vast majority of boys have already retracted their own foreskin and eased the preputial orifice open.  Even if their prepuce was tightly closed in childhood, they do not have phimosis, and this is evident as young adults. So small is this concern that these boys do not even know the word 'phimosis!' In rare cases when there is a real issue, it is at puberty that this is discovered, not before. If a 'problem' arises before puberty, it is likely paraphimosis, because a boy is being retracted - see above.

Throughout my career as a general practitioner [~30 years in 2013] I have only had to circumcise one single man, aged 22 years, who had developed untreatable phimosis that was the result of brutal retraction as an infant and child that left tight foreskin scarring on his penis. This started to bother him at puberty - not before. And, in fact, it was the way he was treated as a baby and child that caused the inflammation that resulted in his phimosis - not the other way around. He had to be circumcised as a result of improper care by those who did not know any better. When we repeatedly tear the foreskin at an age of development, it does lead to scarring, and this in turn tightens the foreskin over time, causing the problems we then blame on foreskin (rather than improper care).

Question Four: 

What is your advice to a mother who does not know what a pediatrician will do to her baby during a check-up? What should she do if a physician suggests that she retract? How should she handle guilt-trips pushing improper care?

Answer:

Retraction is a problem that exists merely because it is a matter of culture-based opinion and not a factual issue of prevention or health. Again, there is no evidence that retraction has even the slightest benefit, but its disadvantages are medically obvious.

Doctors do not exist to dictate their personal opinions onto parents, and there should be no guilting of mothers who consciously decide they will not 'mess with' the penises of their sons. In fact, I find these mothers to be the ones who are the most mentally stable and emotionally healthy. Would a mother okay the circumcision of her son just to please a physician who tells her it is 'cleaner?' Of course not. The same goes for retraction. If a doctor talks about such things, tell him that you will leave your child to figure things out for himself, and if a problem arises down the road, you will deal with it at that point. Above all, do not let a physician who is suggesting retraction use your child for their demonstration.

Just as there is zero justification in performing vaginal exams on infant and young girls, so also is there never justification to retract and examine the inside of a baby boy's or child's penis when there is nothing wrong. Doing so is not alright for girls, and it is not alright for boys. The only time a physician should be handling your child's genitals (gently!) is if the penis or vulva in question has a visible abnormality that requires examination. If this is not the case, then hands off!

The Prepuce

Previous Chapter Contents Page

Chapter Two: The Prepuce

One must understand the nature and function of the structure that is amputated by circumcision in order to properly evaluate the effects of male circumcision. This chapter provides that information.

General Description

The prepuce traditionally has been described as a simple fold of skin,¹ for which the purpose and function are unknown. This is inaccurate. In reality, the prepuce is a complex structure with multiple anatomical and physiological functions.²

The prepuce is a portion of the entire covering of the penis. It is specialized tissue, composed of skin, mucosa, nerves, blood vessels, and muscle fibers.² It is anchored by the abdominal wall at the proximal end of the penis and at the proximal end of the glans penis. It is not attached to the shaft of the penis, so, after puberty, it is free to slide back and forth, everting and inverting as it does.³ The sliding/rolling back and forth is called the gliding action.^3,4

A frenulum is found on the ventral side of the penis. The frenulum serves to tether a movable structure to a non-movable structure. The penile frenulum returns the foreskin to its normal protective forward position.² Most men report that the frenulum is highly erogenous tissue.

Peripenic Muscle

In the skin of the penis, there is a sheath of dartos fascia muscle fibers — the peripenic muscle.^2,3,5 The muscle fibers keep the prepuce snug against the glans penis.³ The fibers of the peripenic muscle sheath form a whorl at the tip of the prepuce, which act as a sphincter,³ especially in infants and children. The sphincter also serves to prevent inadvertent retraction of the prepuce. The peripenic muscle gives the prepuce great elasticity, allows it to stretch, and helps to return the prepuce to its forward, protective position after retraction.² The elasticity of the prepuce plays an important role in the erogenous and sexual functions of the prepuce.

Immunology

The prepuce covers and protects the glans penis and urinary meatus. In most males, the prepuce protects the sterile urinary tract environment in infancy and maintains the moistness — beneficial to good health — of the mucosal surface of the glans penis throughout life.⁶ Fleiss et al. (1998) have identified immunological functions that help to protect the body from pathogens:⁷

• sphincter action of the preputial orifice functions like a one-way valve, allowing urine to flow out but preventing the entry of infectious contaminants;
• apocrine glands of the inner prepuce, which secrete lysozyme, an enzyme that breaks down cell walls of pathogens (and also acts against HIV⁸);
• sub-preputial moisture that lubricates and protects the mucosa of the glans penis; and
• high vascularity to bring phagocytes to fight infection.

The epidermis of the prepuce contains Langerhans cells that secrete cytokines,² hormone-like low-molecular-weight proteins, which regulate the intensity and duration of immune responses.⁹ de Witte and colleagues (2007) report that the Langerhans cells produce langerin, a substance that provides a barrier to HIV infection.¹⁰

Innervation

The prepuce of the newborn male has extensive innervation. Winkelmann (1956) reported, “[t]he principal form of innervation of human newborn prepuce consists of a deep and superficial network of nerve fibres in the dermis.”¹¹ Moldwin & Valderrama (1989) reported an extensive neuronal network in the prepuce.¹²

The prepuce of adult males is even more extensively innervated. Winkelmann (1959) described the prepuce as a specific erogenous zone with nerves arranged near the surface in rete ridges.¹³ Taylor et al. (1996) also found nerves near the surface in rete ridges and further described a concentration of nerve endings in a ring of ridged tissue just inside the tip of the prepuce near the mucocutaneous boundary, which he named the ridged band.¹⁴ The nerve endings in the ridged band are Meissner's corpuscles and Krause's end-bulbs.

The nerves of the penis, including the preputial nerves, supply sensory input to both the somatosensory and autonomic nervous systems by different routes.² The sensory input to the somatosensory nervous system is supplied through the dorsal nerve of the penis, and the autonomic nervous system is supplied through the parasympathetic nerves, which run adjacent to and through the wall of the membranous urethra.

The prepuce is provided with an extensive vascular network to bring oxygen to support the heavy innervation.^2,7,14

Several writers have commented on the sensitivity of the prepuce. Winkelmann (1956) wrote, “…it is a region of great sensitivity and possessed of an abundant nerve supply,”¹¹ and later (1959) identified the prepuce as a specific erogenous zone.¹³ Falliers (1970) noted the “sensory pleasure associated with tactile stimulation of the foreskin.”¹⁵ A landmark study by Sorrells et al. (2007) of the fine-touch sensitivity of the penis finds that the areas most sensitive to fine touch are on the foreskin.¹⁶ Circumcision, therefore, amputates the most sensitive areas of the penis.

Sexual Function

The prepuce is primary, erogenous tissue necessary for normal sexual function.² In adult life, the gliding action facilitates introitus⁴ and reduces friction and chafing during coitus.⁵ The movement and stretching of the prepuce during coitus stimulate the nerve endings in the prepuce, produce erogenous sensation, and eventually ejaculation.^18,19 The presence of the prepuce tends to protect the corona of the glans penis from direct stimulation, helps to prevent premature ejaculation^20,21 and contributes to female satisfaction.²² (See Chapter Six for a discussion of the sexual harm of prepuce excision.)

Natural Development

The great majority of newborn infant boys are born with the inner surface of the prepuce fused with the glans.² In addition, the tip of the prepuce at birth usually is too narrow to allow retraction. The duration of these conditions vary with the individual but can last until the completion of puberty or longer. For these two reasons, the non-retractile foreskin is normal in childhood and adolescence and cannot be considered a disease requiring treatment.

The first data on development of the retractile prepuce was provided in 1949 by British pediatrician Douglas Gairdner.²² Gairdner said 80 percent of boys have a retractable foreskin by the age of two years, and 90 percent of boys have a retractable prepuce by the age three. His erroneous information²³ has been incorporated into medical textbooks and medical school curricula for decades, and it still is repeated in medical literature today.²⁴

Gairdner’s data are inaccurate^23-25 and, unfortunately, most healthcare providers have been taught this inaccurate information,^24,25 which contributes to improper diagnosis of “pathological phimosis” in the healthy, normal, non-retractile foreskin. Retractability usually occurs much later than previously believed.^2,24,25 About 44 percent of boys have a fully retractable prepuce by age 10-11^2,27,28,29 and about 95 percent have a fully retractable prepuce by age 18.^2,27 Non-retractile foreskin is the more common condition until 10-11 years of age. Thorvaldsen & Meyhoff (2005) report that the mean age of first foreskin retraction is 10.4 years.²⁹ Non-retractile foreskin in childhood and adolescence is not a disease and does not require treatment.

Ballooning of the prepuce in childhood during urination is harmless and self-limiting. Babu et al. (2004) have shown that ballooning does not cause obstructed voiding.³⁰ Ballooning disappears with increasing maturity. No treatment is required.³¹

Medici stranieri vogliono circoncisione rituale

Medici stranieri chiedono al governo: “Circoncisione in strutture pubbliche e tra prestazioni del servizio sanitario nazionale”

Tra le proposte avanzate dall’Associazione Medici Stranieri (Amsi) al governo, avanzate al ministro per la cooperazione Andrea Riccardi e al presidente della Camera Gianfranco Fini, c’è anche l’inserimento della circoncisione tra le prestazioni del servizio sanitario nazionale. I medici stranieri, tramite il presidente Foad Aodi, chiedono che la circoncisione possa essere effettuata “presso strutture autorizzate a garanzia dei bambini e delle loro famiglie, dietro pagamento di un ticket”.

L’Amsi, con un appello sostenuto anche da Comai (Comunità del Mondo Arabo in Italia), aveva già chiesto a dicembre al ministro della Sanità Renato Balduzzi di “dare la possibilità ai genitori stranieri che vivono in Italia di rivolgersi alle strutture pubbliche per effettuare la circoncisione sui loro piccoli”.

I medici stranieri in Italia sono circa 14.500. Ma pochi sono assunti negli ospedali pubblici perché i concorsi sono riservati a cittadini italiani e della Comunità europea. Lavorano quindi soprattutto come privati.

Cassazione: “Circoncisione, mancato ricorso al medico è scusabile”

La Cassazione, con la sentenza 43646/11 ha sancito che è un “errore scusabile” non ricorrere al medico per far circoncidere un bambino causando a quest’ultimo una emorragia grave. La Corte ha trattato il caso di una donna di origine africana che ha fatto praticare la circoncisione del figlio ad un uomo, che non era medico. Il neonato, di otto mesi, aveva perso molto sangue ed era stato portato all’ospedale. Dove la donna aveva candidamente ammesso le sue responsabilità.

Ma la Cassazione non ha ritenuto la madre colpevole del reato di esercizio abusivo della professione medica. La donna era stata condannata anche in appello. Ha fatto quindi ricorso in Cassazione, che le ha dato ragione, scriveva ieri Il Sole 24 Ore. Per la Corte, la donna non aveva la percezione né un grado di cultura tale da farle comprendere che stava compiendo un reato. Occorre inoltre considerare il “difettoso accordo che si determina in una persona di etnia africana, che migrata in Italia, non è risultata essere ancora integrata nel relativo tessuto sociale e l’ordinamento giuridico del nostro Paese”. Rispetto all’infibulazione, la circoncisione secondo la Corte non incide nella “intimità e nella decenza sessuale della persona”.

Male Genital Mutilation

A cura di MGMbill.org:

Male Genital Mutilation

The traditional custom of ritual cutting and alteration of the genitalia of male infants, boys, and adolescents, referred to as male genital mutilation (MGM), persists primarily in the United States, Canada, Australia, South Korea, the Philippines, Africa and among certain communities in the Middle East and Asia. Families from all regions in the United States may have sons who have undergone a ritual genital procedure or may request that such a procedure be performed by a physician

TYPES OF MALE GENITAL MUTILATION

MGM is most often performed between the ages of infancy and 14 years, although in some communities it may be postponed until 20 years of age.11 In developing countries, typically a local village practitioner or lay person is engaged for a fee to perform the procedure, which is done without anesthesia using a variety of instruments, such as knives, razor blades, broken glass, or scissors. In developed countries physicians or mohels may be sought to perform MGM under clean or sterile conditions with or without the use of anesthesia. Figure 1 shows the normal genital anatomy of a prepubertal male. The various ritual genital practices are classified into four types based on the severity of structural disfigurement.12

Type I MGM, often termed circumcision, involves excision or injury of part or all of the skin and specialized mucosal tissues of the penis including the prepuce and ridged band (Fig 2). When this procedure is performed in infants and young boys, a portion of or all of the frenulum may be removed. If only the tip of the foreskin is removed, or if the foreskin has only been prematurely and forcibly retracted, the physical manifestation of Type I MGM may be subtle, necessitating a careful examination of the glans, foreskin, and adjacent structures for recognition.

Type II MGM, referred to as glandectomy or penectomy, is excision or injury to the glans and/or penis shaft, along with Type I MGM. (Fig 3). Crude stitches may be used to control bleeding from the penile artery and raw tissue surfaces, and patients with Type II MGM have a shortened urethra resulting from the absence of the glans and/or penile shaft that may cause problems urinating and/or ejaculating

Type III MGM, known as castration, is the most severe form in which the testicles are excised with or without some or all of the foreskin and/or penile shaft (Fig 4). The raw surfaces are stitched together and the patient may no longer be able to maintain an erection or father children.

Type IV includes different practices of variable severity including pricking, piercing or incision of the prepuce, glans, scrotum or other genital tissue; cutting and suturing of the prepuce over the glans (infibulation); slitting open the urethra along the ventral surface of the penis (subincision); slitting open the foreskin along its dorsal surface (superincision); severing the frenulum; stripping the skin from the shaft of the penis; introducing corrosive or scalding substances onto the genital area; and any other procedure which falls under the definition of MGM given above.

The physical complications associated with MGM may be acute or chronic. Early, life-threatening risks include hemorrhage, infection, excessive skin loss, skin bridges, glans deformation, bowing, meatal stenosis, loss of penis, and death.13,14 Circumcision (Type I) is often associated with long-term sexual function difficulties. Common problems involve chafing and dryness during intercourse, reduced sexual feeling, and a buildup of desensitizing keratin on the exposed glans and remaining inner foreskin.

Less well-understood are the psychological, sexual, and social consequences of MGM, because little research has been conducted in countries where the practice is endemic.15 However, personal accounts by men who have had a medicalized genital procedure recount anxiety before the event, terror at being seized and forcibly held during the event, and lack of sexual pleasure during intercourse.16 Some men have no recollection of the event, particularly if it was performed in infancy, while others deny that the procedure has had any negative effect on their health or sexual life.
