Help please! is circumcision as a teen a good idea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on variables: I remember it being the most requested elective surgery among young sailors during my tour in the service. It should be viewed as a significant surgery, with anesthesia risks and a significant recovery period. If the patient has investigated the risks and benefits and chooses to proceed, the decision is his to make.
