Circumcision

What is a circumcision?

Circumcision means cutting off the foreskin, or ring of tissue, that covers the head of the penis. It is usually done the day your newborn goes home from the hospital.

Fewer children in the U.S. are being circumcised now than several years ago. In 1979, 90 % of American males were circumcised compared to 60% now. The following information should help you decide what is best for your son.
