There are many reasons to consider circumcision for your newborn son. Some of these are cultural, ethical and religious. There is now also mounting evidence regarding the medical benefits of circumcision. The American Academy of Pediatrics released a statement in September 2012 that the benefits of neonatal circumcision outweigh the potential risks. See Circumcision Policy Statement. Ultimately it is a personal decision based on personal reasons.

Once the decision to circumcise has been made, the procedure is best performed by an expert and experienced operator.
