Then Asif talks about whether there is evidence for health benefits from circumcision and also talks about the risks of the procedure.  He then concludes by stating that most pediatrics groups do not recommend routine circumcision for all newborn males in North America; however if parents are considering the procedure for their child, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor.
