What is Circumcision
Circumcision is a common surgical procedure performed on newborn male babies. The National Center for Health Statistics estimates that about 64 percent of newborn boys undergo circumcision. It involves the removal of the foreskin, the skin that covers the head of the penis.
Often, parents choose circumcision for their sons is cultural or religious tradition, especially for those who are Biblically minded. The Torah refers to the circumcision as a “covenant” 13 times. (Genesis 17, for example). Following the Bible, families have circumcised their newborn sons for thousands of years.
Circumcision also offers several medical benefits. For instance, circumcised boys are less likely to develop urinary tract infections, which can be painful and cause serious complications. Circumcision also reduces the risk of penile cancer and lowers the transmission rate of sexually transmitted infections such as HIV.
Choosing circumcision can help individuals maintain better hygiene and potentially avoid health complications.
Circumcision is usually performed within the first few days after birth, although some parents choose to have it done later. Atlanta Baby Circumcision performs circumcisions for newborns. Our preferred time is the first month of baby’s life, but the second and third month are acceptable as well. Circumcision is a quick and straightforward procedure that is safe when performed by a qualified professional.
