Circumcision

Circumcision is the debatable medical procedure where the baby’s foreskin is removed from the penis, two or three days after birth. The whole procedure takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete and is usually done in the hospital or at a home by your doctor or a trained religious leader.

The wound will generally heal within seven to ten days.
