When circumcision is carried out as a necessary part of religious or cultural practice, the reasons against the operation may no longer apply.

For those parents who have gone ahead and had their sons circumcised, let me reassure them there is no evidence to indicate that this will cause any later physical or mental trauma.

If you do decide not to have your next son circumcised, then do not be concerned with what effect this will have on him when he discovers he is shaped differently from his brothers and his father. The new generation is more likely to have retained their foreskins and he should be in the majority at school.

There are some indications for removing the prepuce in children — recurrent infection under the foreskin, narrowing of the opening and inability to retract it in the older child.

Circumcision may be necessary in the adult, particularly in the elderly, if a tight foreskin is retracted and then compresses the shaft of the penis.
