Neonatal circumcision and penile problems: an 8-year longitudinal study.

The prevalence of penile problems was examined in a birth cohort of more than 500 New Zealand children studied from birth to 8 years of age. By 8 years, circumcised children had a rate of 11.1 problems per 100 children, and uncircumcised children had a rate of 18.8 per 100. The majority of these problems were for penile inflammation including balanitis, meatitis, and inflammation of the prepuce. However, the relationship between risks of penile problems and circumcision status varied with the child's age. During infancy, circumcised children had a significantly higher risk of problems than uncircumcised children, but after infancy the rate of penile problems was significantly higher among the uncircumcised. These associations were not changed when the results were adjusted statistically for the effects of a series of potentially confounding social and perinatal factors.

Circumcision: pros and cons.

I have attempted to review the pertinent facts concerning circumcision and the proper care of the foreskin with the express purpose of trying to avoid the errors in technique or the mismanagement of the intact foreskin that occur all too frequently. Until parental and societal attitudes change, it is incumbent upon health care professionals to dispense proper care and provide accurate information regarding the prepuce.
