It is the joy of each parent to be able to give birth to a healthy child. Throughout their pregnancy, they are advised on how to eat and what to expect after nine months. Some prefer their children to remain anonymous while others would like to go for a scan to verify the gender of the baby. Those who find that they will be expecting a baby boy, may need to take a lot of factors into consideration once the baby is born. One of the main factors is newborn circumcision.

Both Islam and Christian doctrines practice circumcision for various reasons. In fact, Christianity emphasizes on the practice since it is a sign of cleanliness. Just from reading scriptures from the bible, one can easily trace verses that mention something to do with male children who went through the knife. It is quite evident that the old practice has deeply sunk in the modern world.

Different people may opt for the practice due to many reasons. It can be because their religious affiliations preach on the same. On the other hand, someone can just make a personal decision after going through health reports. Those who are lucky to accept it can go a qualified medical practitioner who will conduct the procedure using safe instruments.

All male children are born with foreskin that covers their male sexual organ known as the penis. During the operation, the foreskin is cut to expose the tip of the penis. It takes a few day days to heal depending on the ability of the body to able to replace worn out tissues.

In the United States alone, it is believed that about 55% to 65% of baby boys go through the cut. It does not end there. Areas especially in the western region of the country have records of the lowest cases. On the other hand, North Central America has recorded the highest number of cases that were associated to the practice. Even though most people are being enlightened on the health benefits, others in Asia, Europe, Southern America and Central America still do not practice it.

Before the one starts to operate on an individual, they need to take them through the procedures involved. They can inform them on possible risks that may be involved in the event. That way, they are protecting their integrity as a health practitioner and assuring the parents that the baby is in safe hands.

Every parent is entitled to take their male children for the operations. However, if they are facing challenges to do with deformities in the male sexual organ areas or in case of premature birth, they can be exempted from the practice. It can be delayed up to the time they are most comfortable with it.

As much as it is a very painful procedure, many people are being encouraged to take their children to hospital for the operation. That way they are preventing their children from contracting unnecessary urinary tract infections as well as the deadly HIV and STIs. Most studies reveal that those who have gone through the knife are less susceptible to such kinds of illnesses
