What Are The Adverse Effects Of Circumcision In A Child?

Hi, My sons grandpa is a muslim, he has requested for my son who is now seven years old to be circumstised he is willing to pay for this procedure. I as a mother do not wish to put my son through such pain, also worried it might do more harm than benifite, his father has been done to as a child and wants this to, though i m not sure it makes much difference s regarding hygene and that!! I think it would make him less sensitive as well!! Help!

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Circumcision definitely has some benefits. But it should be done as a neonate. It will protect against penile cancer. It can prevent wart and viral illnesses.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajmohan, Pediatrician
