Every parent would like a situation whereby they get to receive their bundle of joy. It is a gift from God since he is the one that gives children. In most cases, parents normally develop fondness for their children even before they are born. That is why they subject themselves to going for prior tests and scan to tell if they are expecting a boy or a girl. After ascertaining that their bundle of joy is a boy, they need to take some critical measures into account. First, they need to be familiar with the term newborn circumcision.

Both Islam and Christian doctrines practice circumcision for various reasons. In fact, Christianity emphasizes on the practice since it is a sign of cleanliness. Just from reading scriptures from the bible, one can easily trace verses that mention something to do with male children who went through the knife. It is quite evident that the old practice has deeply sunk in the modern world.

Whether it is a personal decision or following religious doctrines, a person can choose to attend when the procedure is going on. Most religious ideologies stress on going for the cut to promote cleanliness. However, health reasons reveal that the foreskin harbors a lot of pathogens. In fact they are being encouraged to go to hospital.

The practice simply involves surgical cut of the foreskin that covers the head of a penis. Initially, male children are born with these foreskins. They must be cut to expose the head. Depending on how fast a person can heal, the wound may take a few days.

One area that has embraced the practice is none other than the US. It has a recorded a number of circumcised beneficiaries placing them at 55% to 65%. On average, that is quite a commendable number. On the other hand, the western region is the one area that has recorded the lowest number of clients as compared to the North Central America which has the highest number. Other parts such as Latin America, Asia, Europe and Central America have also recorded very few cases.

For ethical reasons, the medical practitioner needs to inform the parent on the types of procedures that are likely to take place and possible risks as well. They can advise them to have their boys circumcised before they go home. Since it is a painful procedure, it may involve administration of anesthesia.

All male children have the right to be circumcised despite their age. However, there are limited factors such as deformities in the sexual organ or prematurely born babies. Both the cases are very delicate in nature and the children need to be exempted from being circumcised. In this case, the operation can be delayed to pave way for corrective measures.

It is for the benefit of the both the parent and the male child if they go for the operation. They are advised to take their children to be circumcised before they take them home. Science has proven that circumcised male children are less prone to diseases such as urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted infections.
