Medical Benefits from Circumcision
by Dr. Brian J. Morris
from Circ-Online
Circumcision has historically been a topic of emotive and often
irrational debate. At least part of the reason is that a sex organ is
involved. (Compare, for example, ear piercing.) During the past two
decades the medical profession have tended to advise parents not to
circumcise their baby boys. In fact there have even been reports of
harrassment by medical professionals of new mothers, especially those
belonging to religious groups that practice circumcision, in an attempt
to stop them having this procedure carried out. Such attitudes are a far
cry from the situation years ago when baby boys were circumcised
routinely in Australia. But over the past 20 years the rate has declined
to as low as 10%.
However, a reversal of this trend is starting to occur. In the light of an increasing volume of medical scientific evidence (many publications cited below)
pointing to the benefits of neonatal circumcision a new policy
statement was formulated by a working party of the Australian College of
Paediatrics in August 1995 and adopted by the College in May 1996 [2]
. In this document medical practitioners are now urged to fully inform
parents of the benefits of having their male children circumcised.
Similar recommendations were made recently by the Canadian Paediatric
Society who also conducted an evaluation of the literature, although
concluded that the benefits and harms were very evenly balanced. As
discussed below the American College of Pediatrics has moved far closer
to an advocacy position.
