Circumcision is a simple surgical procedure involving removal of the foreskin (skin covering the glans penis). It has scientifically documented health benefits and is practiced for religious, cultural, and medical reasons.
Ideal Age:
- First 40 days: Optimal time — newborn tolerates the procedure easily, healing is faster (5-7 days), less bleeding.
- 1-6 months: Still good — local anesthesia is sufficient.
- 6 months - 5 years: Possible but usually requires general anesthesia.
- Adults: Can be performed at any age with local or general anesthesia.
Proven Health Benefits:
- 90% reduction in urinary tract infections in children.
- Reduced risk of penile cancer.
- Easier personal hygiene.
- Reduced risk of some sexually transmitted infections.
