Keşke Bir Sünnet Hapı Olsaydı

Abstract

“Keşke bir sünnet hapı olsaydı…” bu sünnet olma sırası ona gelen bir çocuğun dileğidir. Sünnet;dinler tarihi ile başlayan çok eski, semavi, tıbbi ve kültürel bir uygulamadır. Kuşkusuz dün,bugün ve yarın da en çok yapılan cerrahi işlem olacaktır. Almanya’daki sünnet yasağı sünneteolan ilgiyi ve merakı yeniden tazelemiştir. Bu yasak sadece Müslüman ve Yahudi dinimensuplarının değil aynı zamanda tıbbi nedenlerle sünnet olacakların da etkilenmesine sebepolmuştur. Sünnetin çok fazla yapıldığı ülkemizde bilimsel araştırmalarla tüm dünyaya sünnetinfaydalarını anlatabilecek ve iyi referans olabilecek çalışmaların yapılması bu anlamda yararlıolacaktır. Bunun için öncelikle sünnet uygulayıcıları olmak üzere üniversiteler, sağlık bakanlığıyetkilileri ve ailelere görevler düşmektedir. Bu yazı ile sünnet ve sonrasında ortaya çıkabilecekkomplikasyonların ortaya konması ve toplumda sünnet konusunda farkındalığın arttırılmasıamaçlandı
