Should I circumcise my male child?
Well, that's not a question that I'm going to answer because it's not a doctor's decision. It's a parent's decision. Although there may be a few health benefits of circumcising boys in terms of urinary tract infections later on and other risks, the benefit is very small. And I think it's really up to the family to decide. There's no right or wrong answer. Do you want the child to look like his father? What about cultural issues? What about other family members? And you'll make the right decision based on your family and cultural values. It's not a medical decision.
