Question Circumcision

UTI:

  • Overall, urinary tract infections (UTI) are lower for males (regardless of whether they are cut) than female infants during the first six months of life. 
  • Regardless of circumcision status, infants who present with their first UTI at 6 months (or less) are likely to have an underlying genitourinary abnormality. 
  • In children with a normal underlying anatomy, a study found as many circumcised infants with a UTI as those who retained their foreskin. 
  • The appropriate treatment for UTI, in males as well as females, is antibiotics, not circumcision. 
  • According to the AAP, “Urinary tract infections are usually not life threatening and are easily treated in most cases.”. 
  • Breastfeeding provides some measure of protection against UTI during the first six months of life. 
  • Since the foreskin is fused to the glans at birth, this helps to keep feces and urine out of the urethra opening. 
  • Women get them more than men and they take a simple antibiotic to cure it. 
  • Infections are normal: eyes, ears, throats, they all can get infected yet we treat with antibiotics not amputation. 
  • The circumcised penis is not immune to infections including sexually transmitted diseases or penile cancer. 
  • Penile and cervical cancers, urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases have nothing to do with the foreskin itself. 
  • If you follow proper care of the intact penis you should not have infections. 
  • In the rare case you do, antibiotics.
