Circumcision can be performed at any age for any reason, including health, family preference, medical, religious. It has no age limit. Circumcised boys and men are less likely to have infections of their urinary tract during the first months after birth and over their entire lifetime, have much lower risk of various sexually transmitted infections, including cancer-causing human papillomavirus and HIV, which causes AIDS, inflammation of the penis, tight foreskin that causes problems with erections, hygiene problems and thrush, prostate cancer, and almost complete protection against penile cancer,
The pros of scheduling a circumcision in Sydney or elsewhere for your baby boy in the first days of their life outweigh those of having it later. That is because performing it on a newborn is associated with:
Of course, you should never think of male circumcision in Australia as a panacea for all problems boys and men may encounter. But it is a general recommendation to undergo the procedure preferably as an infant. Although can be done as an adult, there are barriers that include much higher cost, unwarranted fear, a more complicated procedure, and inconvenience, such as time off work and strenuous activities. For some families there may be religious or cultural concerns to consider.
At the Circumcision Academy of Australia, we guide parents and those planning to get circumcised to surgeons and doctors who can help them. If there are no medical contraindications, talk to a doctor who has been practising the procedure for years about scheduling it for you or your son.

FAQ:
What is circumcision?
Circumcision is a simple, quick procedure and is not nearly as traumatic as you might think. It is normally conducted within days of the birth of a healthy baby.
How to I care for my baby after circumcision?
Sometimes a baby can be unsettled after circumcision. Be gentle and reassuring with him during the healing process.
In the meantime, the penis may appear red and swollen. For a few days there may be a yellow crust on the tip. This is normal. Complete healing will take a week or so.
How should I clean my baby after circumcision?
You can use sponge baths to gently wash his penis while it is healing. If poo gets on his penis, you can gently remove it with warm, mild soapy water. Allow the penis to dry by itself, as this will help prevent irritation. Before you consider giving him a full bath, wait until the penis is completely healed and the umbilical cord has dropped off.
What should I do when I change his nappy?
When you change his nappy, you should change the bandage as well. After cleaning him, apply a dab of Vaseline before replacing his nappy. This will help protect the penis and ensure it doesn’t stick to his nappy. At about 48 hours after circumcision, you do not usually need to replace the bandage. Lubricant should still be used though to keep the penis from sticking to the nappy. To reduce risk of infection, you should change his nappy fairly often and ensure that it is not too tight.
Follow your doctor’s advice
If in doubt, ask the doctor who did the circumcision, as after-care may vary according to the technique used by the doctor.
