Circumcision(英語單詞)

Circumcision（英式發音[ˌsɜːkəmˈsɪʒn]，美式[ˌsɜːrkəmˈsɪʒn]）是英語名詞，原指男性包皮環切手術，現延伸為宗教文化儀式及醫學操作的總稱。其詞源可追溯至12世紀拉丁語circumcisionem，意為"環繞切割"。

該術語涵蓋女性割禮（female circumcision）與男性包皮環切術（male circumcision）兩類。女性割禮主要存在於非洲30多國，涉及陰蒂及陰唇切除，實施年齡4-12歲，常伴隨公共衛生問題。男性環切術包含猶太教第八日割禮（ritual infant circumcision）、自願醫療男性包皮環切（Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision）等類型，現代醫學認為其可降低HIV感染風險。醫療操作使用包皮環切縫合器或熱灼術（thermocautery-assisted circumcision），平均手術時間12.5分鐘。

古埃及木乃伊中發現包皮環切痕跡，猶太教、伊斯蘭教及非洲部落延續該傳統。全球約1.3億女性接受過割禮，每年新增200萬案例；男性環切率約25-30%，肯亞等地立法限制相關操作。
