Male circumcision is a simple operation or surgery that is performed in a relatively short time, in which the doctor removes skin tags from the penis of the male newborn. This procedure helps clean the organ and protects against the transmission of potential skin problems in this area.

The appropriate timing for male circumcision is determined by the doctor following the case, according to his general condition and the exclusion of any problems that may postpone this surgery, which is determined by the doctor through examination.
The professor of pediatric surgery continued, explaining that there are some medical problems or some emergency cases in which male circumcision can be postponed for a few days, according to what the doctor deems appropriate, and according to his follow-up of the case, and one of the most common cases is that the newborn is infected with jaundice, and the circumcision surgery can be postponed in some of those cases. Not all cases, especially if the rate of jaundice is high and persistent, which is determined by the doctor alone according to follow-up, measurement of jaundice, and the child’s general condition.
