What Is Infant Circumcision?
Infant circumcision is a minor surgical procedure that removes the foreskin covering the head of the penis.
The procedure is usually performed during the newborn period or within the first few months of life. At this age, healing tends to occur quickly and the procedure can generally be performed using local anaesthesia.
Circumcision may be chosen for medical, cultural, religious or family reasons.
