Circumcision
Explore
Newborn circumcision is a surgical procedure to remove the fo****in, the skin that covers the tip of the p***s. In the United States, it is often done before a new baby leaves the hospital. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), there are medical benefits and risks to circumcision1. Circumcision is a religious or cultural ritual for many Jewish and Islamic families, as well as certain aboriginal tribes in Africa and Australia. Circumcision can also be a matter of family tradition, personal hygiene or preventive health care. Sometimes there’s a medical need for circumcision, such as when the fo****in is too tight to be pulled back (retracted) over the g***s. In other cases, particularly in parts of Africa, circumcision is recommended for older boys or men to reduce the risk of certain sexually transmitted infections2. Circumcision might have various health benefits, including:
Easier hygiene. Circumcision makes it simpler to wash the p***s. However, boys with uncircumcised p***ses can be taught to wash regularly beneath the fo****in.
Decreased risk of urinary tract infections. The risk of urinary tract infections in males is low, but these infections are more common in uncircumcised males. Severe infections early in life can lead to kidney problems later.
Decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections. Circumcised men might have a lower risk of certain sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Still, safe sexual practices remain essential.
Prevention of pe**le problems. Occasionally, the fo****in on an uncircumcised p***s can be difficult or impossible to retract (phimosis). This can lead to inflammation of the fo****in or head of the p***s.
Decreased risk of pe**le cancer. Although cancer of the p***s is rare, it’s less common in circumcised men. In addition, cervical cancer is less common in the female sexual partners of circumcised men2.
It’s important to note that circumcision might not be an option if certain blood-clotting disorders are present. Also, circumcision might not be appropriate for premature babies who still require medical care in the hospital nursery or for babies born with abnormalities of the p***s2. Circumcision doesn’t affect fertility, nor is circumcision generally thought to enhance or detract from sexual pleasure for men or their partners2.
