Reasons Why Newborn Circumcision Is Not Just A Religious Practice

By Jeffrey Cox


Circumcision performed in many males living in Toronto, ON find it difficult to stomach the idea of having a part of their penis removed. However not every male on the planet has had their foreskin removed as preference. But research have shown that in some parts around the world due to their religious guidelines perform this procedure on the infant.

Though even with the advancement of technology it is still a risk option for most parents. Because no one knows how the newborn circumcision will feel once the foreskin is surgically removed by a scalpel. That is why understanding the risk and complications associated with removing the foreskin is an important factor before saying yes to removing it.

In essence boy or men are usually not taught to clean themselves thoroughly. Because most men and boys find it easier and efficient to wash themselves using a special formulated shampoo that works as a conditioner and soap together. But if you are a man with an uncircumcised penis then you will be spending extra minutes in the shower to slough off the smegma.

Smegma is that icky white substance containing cadaverous cells. If a man is unable to clean this area thoroughly then bacterial infection can easily form leading to bad smelly odor and risks the man or boy in developing UTI. Aside from that most parents find it sensible to have a doctor performs circumcision on their son because cleaning becomes more efficient than having to pull back the foreskin all the time.

But for older adults and children the procedure is done with general anesthesia along with a preventive measure such as suturing to keep from excessive bleeding. Once the procedure is over then healing process takes about seven to ten days. And parents should note that the head of the penis will be sensitive to the touch.

So keep them comfortable by avoiding pressure around the crotch area. Diligently cleaning the head from crust and applying topical jelly around it to prevent from rashes and sticking on the diaper. Remember though that many procedures have its own set of risk and complication.

But if parents opt to have this procedure then be aware of something about this. The procedure is fairly easy since it is performed in the nursery with your babies leg being restrained apart to keep them from fidgeting during the process. They are laid down on their back and their arms are away from the area.

Remember to change the diaper often to prevent bacteria and sweat from forming around the same place and increasing the risk of infection. Remember to call the doctor if there are problems forming during the healing phase. And this happen when bleeding becomes too much, a foul smell emanate from the circumcised area.

So that the possibility of infection and other disease might not develop. Sometimes crusts often forms around because of the excess drainage. But wiping them off with a mild wet wipe cloth will help remove it. Rash often forms so keep that from happening by applying petroleum jelly.
