Perinatologists against Routine Circumcision

 

 

We are perinatologists at the Perinatal Center, Philippine Children's Medical Center. Since 1988 we have not been doing circumcision at birth and have
advised against circumcision of adolescents inspite of parents pressure and peer pressure.

We try to convince the parents that circumcision is no longer necessary according to epidemiologic studies.
