(Doctor) Misconceptions About Circumcision.
“I want my son
circumcised so he looks like his Dad.”
I have never met a young man who was distraught about having more or less foreskin than his father.
In my experience, most boys don’t even know if their father is circumcised.

“It will be
less painful if we circumcise him as a newborn.”
Newborns experience as much pain as anybody else; they just can’t communicate their pain as well as older children.

“We don’t want
him to have to be circumcised when he is older.”
It seems like every family has a horror story about a cousin or great uncle who had a traumatic experience when they were circumcised as an older child or adult.
The reality is that the vast majority of uncircumcised boys have no difficulties, and the chance of needing circumcision for medical reasons later in life is small.
