Their future son was due any day now and Raul mentioned having their newborn circumcised.
Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin of the penis.
Circumcision is usually done for cultural or religious reasons. Circumcision may be recommended in older boys if the foreskin is too tight. There is some evidence that uncircumcised male infants have more urinary tract infections. However urinary tract infections in boys are not common and may occur in both circumcised and uncircumcised boys. Penile cancer, a very rare cancer, is more common in uncircumcised males.
