Circumcising Your Baby Is as Beneficial as a Vaccination - According to This New Study
Whether or not to circumcise their baby boy is something that many new parents discuss, but new research could make this decision much easier.
According to a new study published in the World Journal of Clinical Pediatrics, having a baby boy circumcised is just as beneficial as vaccination in protecting them against severe infection. Australian researchers discovered that not only do the benefits outweigh the risk of this medical procedure by 200 to one, but those who remain uncircumcised have an 80 percent risk of developing a medical problem with their foreskin.
"Over their lifetime more than one in two uncircumcised males will suffer an adverse medical condition caused by their foreskin," said Dr. Brian Morris, University of Sydney professor emeritus and the study's lead author.
The study - conducted by researchers from the University of Sydney, the University of New South Wales and other teaching hospitals - focused on the risk of this medical procedure during infancy as well as how it could prevent a variety of medical issues. These include urinary infections, inflammatory conditions, sexually transmitted infections, and genital cancers.
"The enormous benefit but low risk makes early infant circumcision akin to childhood vaccination," Morris added.
