Q) What are the risks of performing a Circumcision?
A) Circumcision may cause..

Excessive bleeding.

Injury to the glands.

Infection.

Surgical error, including removal of too much skin.

Meatal stenosis (due to probable scarring).

Q) If Circumcision involves removal of the fore skin, what is the foreskin there for?
A)In children, the foreskin is fused to the glans at birth and will separate over a variable period of time after the first few years. Before the child becomes toilet trained, the fore skin protects against abrasions from diapers and feces.

Throughout the life, the foreskin keeps the glans soft and moist and protects it from trauma and injury. The foreskin provides ample loose skin for the penis to occupy when erect and allows the glans and fore skin to naturally stimulate each other.
