When is circumcision recommended?

Circumcision may be indicated for certain medical reasons: vesicoureteral reflux, kidney or bladder infections, posthitis (inflammation of the foreskin), or true phimosis (narrowing of the foreskin). Parents for family, cultural, or religious reasons may request circumcision. Although circumcision is often done shortly after birth, the procedure may be delayed for certain reasons:

* the newborn infant may be too ill, in which case an elective circumcision when the infant is well can be arranged
* the infant may have an abnormality of the penis such as hypospadias or chordee, in which case the foreskin should be left in place for use in later reconstructive surgery


Just a little info.....

I don't have a problem at all with circumcision for medical purposes. :-)
