In this episode, we discuss the important topic of routine neonatal circumcision for parents considering the procedure for their baby boy. Drawing on information from a medical practice scenario, we explore the factors parents often consider, the perceived advantages, and the recognised risks and complications associated with this procedure.

We hope this discussion helps illuminate some of the key considerations when thinking about routine neonatal circumcision and should not be considered medical advice. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional for personalised guidance regarding medical decisions.
