Circumcision ... is it necessary ???

I did not get my son circumcised...

If you decide to get it done they you need to get it some atleast by the end of his first month. Penis undergoes a growth spurt in the first few months of life..So if you wait longer then it will hard to retract the foreskin.

It should be done as soon as possible after birth..

I asked my DH if he would like our son circumsised.. He said NO.. so we are not.. men know better about this topic.. ask your DH / doctor

 

No, we did not get our son circumcised. And no, the previously thought "medical benefits" have been proven not to be that beneficial. Most boys in europe are not circumcised. We did quite a bit research..the only reason we were considering was due to the locker room factor. as DS grows and he will inevitably be changing in the locker rooms and we did not want him to feel cornered or teased about him being different. (At that age, any lecture on "self esteem" or "hold your own" may not work ) But then we figured tht a growing majority is not being circumcised and DS will have to learn to accept the fact that most Indians are not circumcised and live with that!

hope this helps

 

No and I think only a third of baby boys are now circ.-ed in the us.

 

We did it for my DS as he was getting affected with urinary infection frequently doc had adviced him to do so & we did it when he was 2yrs. After that he never had that prob

 

Hi rosary,

I think it can be done only if req (like medical reasons) otherwise no need to put the child into this turama
