I got circumcised at the age of 17 and it was a personal choice. I was having occasional infections at the time.
If I could choose now, I would not have done it. You do indeed lose a tiny bit of sensation in the penis. (Note - I was a virgin before getting circumcised.)

And if you could prevent your kid from ever having facial hair would you?
No, a more fair compariasion would be having facial hair to having your pubic hair left.
And really, how common is it with health problems for uncircumsised ppl?! In Sweden nearly no one does it, but still haven't heard about any sanitairy issues whatsoever
