Making A Decision About 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.

This surgical method becomes riskier and more complicated on older babies, kids, or men. That is why newborn circumcision is usually done and is more advisable. However, using health or medical reasons for circumcising the baby is still a continuous debate because there are still many boys who grew up healthy even without circumcision.

Penis that are still uncircumcised are easy to take good care and clean, which means hygiene will not be a problem. Thus, it all depends on the decision of parents. But in making the decision, it is important for the baby to be healthy in case they would want the latter to undergo the method.

Advice from the doctor or some professionals must also be asked to make an informed decision. Undergoing this may give benefits to the child but these are not sufficient enough to recommend it to all infant boys. There are advantages and disadvantages that need to be understood, so questions must be raised to doctors.

A doctor from the city Toronto, On had said that he is not in favor of this procedure to babies who are not at least born for twenty four hours.because there might be certain issues that were not diagnosed. In his statement, he had added that to decide whether to circumcise or not should be done before or soon after the birth.

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.

The baby might feel pain, experience bleeding, penile might be affected, may get injury, or inflammation after he is circumcised. These are just some of those factors that parents should consider in deciding whether to take their in a circumcision or not. However the risks are not high.

There are things to remember whenever parents choose to have a circumcision for their baby. Make sure to know the place and schedule, how this is done, the risks and how often they happen. Lastly, a mother or father, must learn how to take care of the circumcised penis properly like keeping it clean and gently washing it to avoid more complications.

Circumcision is not accepted or done by all people, since everyone are free to choose whether to do it or not. Parents want what is the best for their babies, therefore it is important to be well guided, and informed about this and the processes. So that they will be ready on the consequences of their made decision, that is why there is an importance to weigh things really well.
