[quote=Anonymous]It’s a personal decision, read up on it and speak with your pediatrician. Belief used to be that circumcision avoided phimosis (where foreskin gets adhered to tip of penis and may require surgery to circumcise later in life), lowered rate of HIV and STD transmission (as virus/bacteria don’t get trapped in foreskin folds) and was more hygienic (as boys don’t clean themselves so well sometimes). But the pendulum has swung away from that, towards thinking that there is no reason to removal a natural part of the body and hygiene can be taught. Also used to think that boys should look like their fathers, so if dad was circumcised was more likely to have son done as well. Are pro’s and con’s to either side, so would just learn about it and make your own decision. [/quote]
