Circumcision is a procedure done on males to remove the foreskin of the penis.  This procedure is commonly done within the first 48hrs of birth in most full term babies but could be done a little later for premature babies.  Many patients are confused about whether to get their baby boys circumcised in the hospital or if they should wait a little later so that their babies can have a procedure under anesthesia.  Well, in this episode, Dr. Plenty clears up all the confusion.  Download and listen to this episode to find out the risks and benefits of circumcision. You'll also learn when you should actually avoid getting your baby circumcised and how complications are managed.  Make sure to rate, comment, and share with your friends!
