What is Child Circumcision?
Circumcision involves the surgical removal of the foreskin—the skin covering the tip of the penis. The procedure is performed for various reasons, including:
- Cultural or Religious Practices: Circumcision is a common ritual in many traditions.
- Medical Indications: For conditions like phimosis (tight foreskin), recurrent infections, or hygiene concerns.
- Preventive Health: Some families opt for circumcision to reduce the risk of certain infections and conditions later in life.
Benefits of Circumcision
- Hygiene and Infection Prevention
Circumcision makes it easier to maintain cleanliness, reducing the risk of infections like balanitis (inflammation of the glans).
- Reduced Risk of Medical Conditions
Studies suggest that circumcision lowers the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in infancy and certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) later in life.
- Addressing Medical Conditions
Circumcision is an effective treatment for conditions such as phimosis or recurrent balanoposthitis.
- Cultural and Religious Significance
For many families, circumcision is an essential cultural or religious rite of passage.
