I would rather have no foreskin and be healthy than have foreskin and a urinary tract infection. Do circumcisions prevent this? No, but they do reduce the risk.
If you practice routine sanitation you don't get infections of the prepuce. I have never had such. But hey, I'm only 72.
Your position is based on one sample. Very weak.

Somebody mentioned procedures that would continue even if they were banned.
Circumsicion as practiced in the us is an outlier there. There’s no ban, but the practice has been dropping off in the population faster than babies are being born since no one recommends it and it’s no longer taken as a given.
It’s not as pernicious. One wonders what it would take to cause a similar fall in fgm.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Logical fallacy - Anecdotal evidence
"Your position is based on one sample." It's based on multiple actually, I only mentioned one though.
According to medlineplus.gov, a U.S government sanctioned website,
"What are the medical benefits of circumcision?
The possible medical benefits of circumcision include:
- A lower risk of HIV
- A slightly lower risk of other sexually transmitted diseases[url=https://medlineplus.gov/sexuallytransmitteddiseases.html][/url]
- A slightly lower risk of urinary tract infections and penile cancer. However, these are both rare in all males.
What are the risks of circumcision?
The risks of circumcision include:
- A low risk of bleeding or infection
- Pain. AAP suggests that providers use pain medicines to reduce pain from circumcision."
There's a lot more benefits than risks to circumcision, I understand it started as an archaic and barbaric practice, but I see it as very beneficial for the most part.

I read somewhere that circumcision of male infants within Jewish communities was (and in some communities still is) performed by a Rabbi ... using his teeth. The source of my info was a book titled 'Jewish Marriage', written by a Jewish author, that I came across in a Jewish charity shop. The book also advised Jewish married couples who were having "problems in their marriage" to ask their doctor to prescribe an aphrodisiac.

No matter how it's done, I find it objectionable.

"There's a lot more benefits than risks to circumcision" which you didn't post. Ie. Bullshit.

Even then there's barely any reason that you would be against the idea of circumcision, at most you can call it genital mutilation
