Parents or family decide whether to circumcise their baby boy or not after birth. It is a decision that only they can make since this is not required by the doctor or even by the law. There are some who let their children be circumcised because of religion, society, culture, medical, and some more reasons that matter to them.

It becomes complicated and riskier when the child or boy gets older. This is the reason why newborn circumcision is commonly done and is being advised by many. Nevertheless, medical or health reason in circumcising is still being debated since there are lots of boys who are still healthy upon growing up even if he has not been circumcised when he was still an infant.

Cleaning and taking care of an uncircumcised penis is easy, therefore, there will be no problem in hygiene. Whenever the parents decide to let their baby undergo the procedure, the health and condition of the baby must be considered. Hence, the decision is in the mother or father.

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.

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.

It was researched that there are certain benefits that a baby may acquire after the circumcision. Risk in getting foreskin infections, UTIs, paraphimosis, penile cancer, and sexually transmitted kind of diseases are reduced by this. However, men do not usually get these diseases.

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 known to everyone, but it is not being practiced or accepted by all. Anyhow, people have freedom to decide what is the best for them or for their babies with regards to this topic, but it is necessary for parents to know the important information on how this is done and what are the things to do in situations after the procedure. Thus, whatever decision people make, it is vital to always weigh all possible factors.
