[Concern] Should I have circumcision performed?

I am a mother of two sons.

My older child is now in 8th grade, and many of his friends have started getting circumcised, so he's asking me if he should do it too.

Honestly, I was really 고민ing about whether I should have a circumcision, so I did a lot of searching, and there are many phrases that make it seem like I absolutely must do it.

I think there's no need to force it if he can just maintain cleanliness well, but the father of the child says it should be done.

 

What is circumcision?

There are certainly many advantages, but I do have a lot of concerns, and most people in our country opt for circumcision.

 

When is the appropriate time for circumcision?

Of course, inflicting pain at a very young age can leave trauma in a child, so it is better for them to be at an age where they can handle the pain themselves.

Looking at those around me, most of them seem to make good use of their middle school first-year summer vacation.

 

What is the history of circumcision?

The history of circumcision is indeed very deep.

 

However, my biggest concern is that my son is a taekwondo sparring athlete, so his schedule is tight, and if he undergoes surgery, he would have to rest from training for several days. Since athletes find it difficult to rest even for a day, I am unsure whether it is appropriate to have a circumcision.

Surprisingly, it seems that the cost is also quite expensive.

My sons say they can manage it well themselves and don't want to do it, so is there really a need to force them?

 

What do you think about circumcision?

Having a son, I also have many concerns about circumcision.
