The Risks And Benefits Of Newborn Circumcision

By Gary McDonald


It is the decision of the mother or father of the child whether to let their baby undergo circumcision. The government, society or even hospitals and doctors do not require it to everyone. Some parents let doctors circumcise their child for medical, religious, social, cultural, and other important reasons.

The surgical method usually becomes complicated or riskier when the boy or child gets older. For this reason, newborn circumcision is preferably done than experiencing it late. Nevertheless, there are a lot of boys who still have grown healthy without circumcision, that is why until now, health reasons in circumcising is still being debated.

Uncircumcised penis is still easy to clean and take care of, so hygiene is not really a problem. Yet, it is all up to the parents which decision they will make. But in deciding, the baby must be healthy and stable before undergoing the procedure.

Undergoing the procedure benefits the infants, but these benefits are considered to be not enough in giving recommendations on the baby. Seeking advice from some professionals and doctors must be done in order to come up with a more informed and balanced decision. Thus, advantages and some disadvantages must be learned.

In the city Toronto, ON, a well known doctor has said that they do not recommend this surgical procedure on babies that have not reached twenty four hours yet. The newborn could have an undiagnosed medical issue, so they would want to subject him into an elective procedure. He added that the decision to circumcise should be made either before the birth or soon after.

A pediatric Academy in America had identified some benefits after circumcision for the medical condition of the baby. It reduces many risks on sexually transmitted diseases, penile cancer, UTI, paraphimosis, and some foreskin infections. But, since men do not have a high risk of getting these, then, these are not considered great benefits.

It depends on the parents whether they decide to let their babies be circumcised or not. But there are some factors that they have to consider like the risks of bleeding, penile damage, injury, inflammation, or experience certain pain. Nonetheless, the risks are low.

Parents need to remember certain things whenever they decided to have their baby into circumcision. They should know when and where it will take place, how it is done, what are the risks and their occurrence. Most importantly, one must learn on taking care properly the penis that was circumcised.

Circumcision is not done or even accepted by everyone, since it is a free will the people or of man, and it is not in the law of man. But for parents who want nothing but the best for their babies, be knowledgeable about the situation and the process, and be prepared on the possible consequences of the decisions made. Nevertheless, all of the factors must be considered upon making the decision that would lead to a better choice.
