Circumcision reduces the risk of contracting HIV
Increase risk of UTI for uncircumcised infants
Circumcision is on the decline
Across the 32-year period from 1979 through 2010, the national rate of newborns circumcision declined 10% overall from 64.5% to 58.3% with and overall percentage of hospitalized infants there were 64.9% of males being circumcised in 1981 which again a decline to 55.4% by 2007
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is compelling evidence to suggest that circumcision reduces the risk of contracting HIV during vaginal sex by 60%. (Newman, 2020)
It is estimated that 10 of 1000 (1%) uncircumcised male infants will develop a UTI during the first year of life compared with 1 of 1000 (0.1%) circumcised male infants who do.

What is Circumcision?
Circumcision is an elective surgical procedure to remove the foreskin, also called the prepuce, from the head of the penis.
As I mentioned this procedure is elective and requires parental consent to be performed by the pediatrician or the obstetrician.
The foreskin is a double-layered fold of skin that protects the head (glans) of the penis from dryness and irritation that may be caused by contact with urine, feces, and clothing.
And according to Chamberlain University, (2021) “ it is noted that the benefits are not so great that procedure should be routinely recommended for all infants.”

The Risk of Circumcision
Blood loss and Hemorrhage can occur
cut too short or left too long
Amputation of the head of the penis
wound doesn’t heal properly, septicemia develops

Foreskin
Blood Loss

Amputation
RUA: Discharge Teaching Guidelines
Circumcision is normally a safe procedure and severe complications are rare, but there is still some risk to consider with circumcision.
Such as the foreskin being cut too short or left too long by the surgeon and the foreskin left behind might reattach to the penis and require further minor surgery
Damage can be done to the urethra which can make urination difficult.
The wound does not properly heal and Septicemia, which is a Blood infection or poisoning can develop
There may be excessive blood loss or hemorrhage
And in rare cases, there may be accidental amputation of the head of the penis

Why Choose Newborn Circumcision
Muslims and Jews
Religion
Reduces the bacteria that can live under the foreskin
Hygiene
Decreased risk of STIs later in life
Health
Less risk of urinary tract infections
Lower Risk
Foreskin can be used to repair defects
Repair
RUA: Discharge Teaching Guidelines
Why some parents may choose to have their newborn circumcised?
Well for one, it may be for religious purposes. It is part of the Muslims and Jews cultural or religious practice to have their newborn males circumcised.
Another reason is for hygiene purposes, it will help to reduce the bacteria that can grow and live under the foreskin
Then to promote future sexual health, being circumcised will decrease the risk of sexually transmitted infections later in life
And lower the risk for urinary tract infections
Citation for above information (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist (ACOG), 2019)
And lastly the foreskin can be used for defect repair such as the repair of hypospadias.
Hypospadias is when the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside the body) does not end at the tip of the penis but instead, it ends on the underside of the penis.
It is recommended that the baby is not circumcised right away after birth, but wait until he is about 6 months to 2 years of age and perform the procedure and uses the foreskin to repair the defect. (MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia, 2019). RUA: Discharge Teaching Guidelines

There are three common circumcision methods, namely, Mogen clamp, Plastibell device and Gomco clamp (Razzaq et al., 2018).
Surgical procedure in babies circumcision
Parents must be very keen about where they take their newborns for circumcision. The operation is crucial just like any other surgical procedure. Therefore, it must be done by an expert to ensure it is done in the right way and avoid complications in future.
ØThe choice of technique used depends on the physicians’ experience and preference.
ØThe primary purpose of the operation regardless of the technique is to cut and remove the foreskin.
ØDuring the procedure, the child lays on the back, with legs and arms secured.
ØAn anesthetic is administered to the baby through cream or injection to numb the penis.
Gomco Clamp Circumcision Procedure
The Gomco clamp is a metal device with a bell-shaped end. During circumcision using a Gomco clamp, the baby’s foreskin is stretched over the bell, and the clamp is tightened over his foreskin. If the foreskin can’t be pulled back (is not retractable), it usually needs to be cut before the clamp is put in place. The foreskin is cut away and the clamp removed. According to Bawazir (2020), Gomco circumcision is the safer method and is accompanied with lowest rate of complication compared to the plastibell procedure
For video to view of procedure:

Mogen Clamp Circumcision Procedure
The Mogen clamp does not require a cut in the foreskin before its placement.During a circumcision using a Mogen clamp, the baby’s foreskin is pulled forward through the hinge of the clamp. The clamp is closed and locked in place for about 90 seconds, crushing the foreskin to decrease bleeding. The foreskin is removed surgically and the clamp taken off.

Plastibell Technique Circumcision
Above picture shows the step by step procedure for plastibell technique. The good thing about this technique is parent just have to keep the penis area clean, there is no need for vaseline or gaze because there is nothing exposing it as a raw wound, the wound is in between the string and the ring of the plastibell. The Plastibell has the advantage of continuing hemostasis after the procedure is over, as the suture remains in place for a few days. The disadvantage is that there is a foreign body at the site, which could become dislodged or infected.
Reference:
Who Performs the Procedure
Obstetrician-gynecologist
Pediatrician
Urologist
Religious leader
Traditional practitioners
The procedure may be done by your obstetrician–gynecologist (ob-gyn) or by a pediatrician, a physician who takes care of the health of children. In some cases, a circumcision may be done in a non medical setting for religious or cultural reasons. If this is the case, the person doing the circumcision should be well trained in how to do the procedure, how to relieve pain, and how to prevent infection.

What to expect after the circumcision procedure
After circumcision, the infant might be irritable and fussy.
The parent or caregiver must take caution in holding the infant.
The tip of the penis might be sore, with the entire penis looking swollen.
There might be a yellow crust at the tip of the penis.
After circumcision, the infant might be irritable and fussy (Lemyre et al., 2019).
The parent or caregiver must take caution to hold the infant carefully and not to press the penis, unless in the case of bleeding as explained earlier.
The tip of the penis might be sore, with the entire penis looking swollen.
Besides, there might be a yellow crust at the tip of the penis.
The parent or caregiver should keep washing the penis regularly and apply a petroleum jelly as directed. Keeping the penis clean helps to prevent infections.
All these signs are normal and should not make the parent or caregiver worried. Such symptoms are expected to go away after a few days on their own. However, the parent should seek medical attention of the symptoms become severe, or if they fail to go away after ten days.
Who should not be circumcised?
Preterm or sick infants should not be circumcised until they are healthy to tolerate the procedure.
Infants with clothing disorder.
Infants who has hypospadias or epispadias.
Things to avoid in infants circumcision
Infants should be circumcised within the first ten days after birth to avoid complications, such as excessive bleeding and pain.
Infants should not be circumcised at home. It is recommended to take the child to a hospital or any approved healthcare facility that offers circumcision services.
Remove the bandage after 48 hours and do not put it back.
Ensure that you do not pull on the plastibell because it can cause bleeding and soreness.
Avoid using diaper wipes because they may sting.
Putting the bandage back after 48 hours can lower the healing rate and cause complications. Instead of using diaper wipes when washing the healing penies, only use water and do it gently to avoid bleeding and other complications.
According to Morris et al. (2017), infants should be circumcised within the first ten days after birth to avoid complications, such as excessive bleeding and pain.
Infants should not be circumcised at home. It is recommended to take the child to a hospital or any approved healthcare facility that offers circumcision services.
Remove the bandage after 48 hours and do not put it back.
Ensure that you do not pull on the plastibell because it can cause bleeding and soreness (Razzaq et al., 2018).
Avoid using diaper wipes because they may sting.
When to consider re-circumcision
Sometimes the skin from the penis attaches at the edge of the penis and forms adhesions after circumcision.
The condition occurs usually if too much skin was left during the initial circumcision.
The extra skin covers the penis head causing mild adhesions or completely covering the head making the penis look uncircumcised.
In such a scenario, the parent should take the child back to the hospital so that the physician can determine whether re-doing the procedure is necessary.
The parent should not decide whether or not the child requires re-circumcision without consulting an expert. A revision is usually done if the redundant skin is uneven, or if it leads to infection or irritation.
When to see a doctor or seek medical attention
Always be keen to observe the healing process of the infant to detect when something goes wrong.
Go to the nearest hospital or emergency department if you notice that your child has excessive bleeding.
Slow down the bleeding before you get to the emergency department by using your index finger and thumb to create a ring around the edge of the penis and squeeze it for about five minutes (Malm-Buatsi et al., 2020).
Excessive bleeding can be indicated by the presence of blood spots on the diaper that are larger than a two-dollar coin or small blood pools. The parent should also seek medical attention if they observe any of the following signs in the infant.
•Vomiting or poor feeding
•Yellow fluid draining from the incision
•Fever
•Redness of skin extending to legs and abdomen
•Difficulties with urinating (diapers less wet than normal).
National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers (NOCIRC)
Autonomy
NOCIRC believes that circumcision denies a male’s right/choice for his own body
Protection
NOCIRC points out that the foreskin is a normal and protective organ
Unnecessary
NOCIRC argues that circumcision has unnecessary risks and harms
National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers Intactivists (nocirc.org)
Professional organization
The National organization of circumcision information resource centers (NOCIRC), is an organization by healthcare professionals to provide information to expectant parents, healthcare professionals, educators, lawyers, ethicists, and concerned individuals about circumcision and genital cutting of male, female, and intersex infants and children, genital integrity, and human rights.()
The NOCIRC believes that circumcision goes against the autonomy of the patient. They also believe that the foreskin is a vital protective organ for the penis and circumcision isn’t necessary because of the risk and harms and not benefits.

Health Promotion Recommendations
Health Promotion Defined:
– the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health (WHO, n.d.).
– a behavioral social science that draws from the biological, environmental, psychological, physical and medical sciences to promote health and prevent disease, disability, and premature death through education-driven voluntary behavior change activities.
WHY IS HEALTH PROMOTION IMPORTANT?
WHY IS HEALTH PROMOTION IMPORTANT?
Health promotion improves the health status of individuals, families, communities, states, and the nation.
Health promotion enhances the quality of life for all people.
Health promotion reduces premature deaths.
By focusing on prevention, health promotion reduces the costs (both financial and human) that individuals, employers, families, insurance companies, medical facilities, communities, the state and the nation would spend on medical treatment.

– bleeding
-infection
-loss of some function of the penis due to complications
-in some cases psychological harm for the child
-the ‘violation’ of individual rights – as the child is unable to decide for themselves in regards to their body

Health Promotion Conclusion
– In conclusion, benefits and risks have been identified concerning male circumcision. Circumcision is usually elected for the three broad reasons of; health, hygiene and appearance, and religion or culture.
– The choice of circumcision remains with the parents of the male child in present society. As opposed to being mandated like the Hib vaccine and/or Hep B vaccines.
– The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) acknowledges the potential medical benefits of newborn male circumcision, but caveats that “data are insufficient to recommend ‘mandate universal’ routine neonatal circumcision ((Tobian et al., 2010))”.
