MaryCare in Collaboration with Royal Oak Medical having Circumcision Program!

It’s essential to recognize that medical opinions on the benefits of circumcision can vary, and the decision to undergo the procedure should involve careful consideration of individual health, cultural beliefs, and personal preferences. Additionally, circumcision is a surgical procedure with potential risks and complications, so it should be performed by a qualified healthcare professional.

This reduced risk of infections and irritations may contribute to improved genital hygiene. Some studies suggest that circumcised infants may have a lower risk of urinary tract infections during their first year of life. However, the overall risk of UTIs in males is low, and other factors can contribute to this risk. Research indicates that circumcision may be associated with a reduced risk of certain sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, herpes, and human papillomavirus (HPV). However, safe sexual practices, such as condom use, are more effective in preventing STIs.

Parents considering circumcision for their child . . .

Should discuss the potential benefits and risks with their healthcare provider to make an informed decision based on the individual circumstances and medical advice. In adulthood, individuals should carefully weigh the potential benefits against the risks and make a decision that aligns with their personal preferences and beliefs.
