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.

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.

In getting a balanced decision, parents must ask advice from professionals or doctors. Even though undergoing this has some benefits, these benefits are still not sufficient for it to be recommended to all infants. There will always be disadvantages and advantages that have to be known.

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.

Based on the research of a particular American Pediatrics, there are some medical benefits that a newborn baby could get after circumcision. This reduces the risk for penile cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, foreskin infections, urinary tract infections and Paraphimosis. However, because men are not prone to these, these are not huge benefits after all.

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.

Whenever the parents have decided to let the baby undergo circumcision, they have to be reminded of important details that they need to know. They must know the schedule and place where it happens, the risks and how many times it often occur. Importantly, they must learn to keep it clean and how to take good care of the penis like how to gently wash it to prevent from some 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.
