Male circumcision is a surgical procedure that removes the foreskin covering the tip of the penis. The foreskin has protective and sensory functions.

Parents and adult patients should make an informed decision based on medical information, personal circumstances and their own values.

Families may consider circumcision for medical, cultural, religious or personal reasons.

Parents may choose whether or not to have their child circumcised. In Australia and New Zealand, circumcision rates have declined in recent years.

Circumcision is a surgical procedure and, like any procedure, carries potential risks as well as possible benefits.

It is important to consider both the possible benefits and risks before making a decision. Appropriate assessment, clear information and effective pain management are important parts of care.
