That is a personal: decision. Is he an infant? I would encourage you to explore this issue with his pediatrician. Take care.

Yes: Circumcision is a personal decision. There are several factors to consider when making this important decision. One of these is exactly what you mentioned and is very reasonable. The other considerations are religious and cultural beliefs and advice of medical professionals. You can discuss that aspect more with his pediatrician.

So he looks lk daddy: Personal choice is the main issue behind circumcision today. Most of my parents who chose to or not to do so because daddy went thru the procedure. Frequency varies over the world. 30% France/Australia 10% Britain (not covered on nhi plan)~80% US with regional variation. The only boys i see with uti's are not, but that is uncommon. There is some data suggesting less risk of std's.
