NBC's Dr. Nancy Snyderman breaks down the study's findings. By Maggie Fox, NBC News Circumcising baby boys has clear health benefits and parents should feel free to have it done, but they shouldn't feel pressured to do so, the top U.S. pediatricians group said on Monday. Circumcision lowers the risk of a range of diseases, from AIDS to herpes, and doesn't hurt sexual performance or pleasure in adulthood, the American Academy of Pediatrics said. While the Academy doesn't go so far as to recommend circumcision as routine, it's the group's strongest endorsement yet of the sometimes controversial procedure. "Evaluation of current evidence indicates that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks," the AAP says in its latest update of its circumcision policy, released in the journal Pediatrics. Noah Berger / AP Benjamin Abecassis rests on a pillow surrounded by family members immediately following his bris, a Jewish circumcision ceremony in San Francisco. The nation's top pediatrician's group said the health benefits of procedure outweigh the risks, but stopped short of recommending it. Advertise | AdChoices "Although health benefits are not great enough to recommend routine circumcision for all male newborns, the benefits of circumcision are sufficient to justify access to this procedure for families choosing it and to warrant third-party payment for circumcision of male newborns." In other words: Health insurance should pay for it. The decision is certain to anger anti-circumcision activists, who call the practice genital mutilation. Doctors who support circumcision say the Academy's on-the-fence stance up to now has encouraged such groups. "In the policy itself, the changes are actually fairly small," Dr. Doug Diekema of the University of Washington, a member of the AAP's task force, said in a telephone interview. ------------------------------------ Post message: prole...@egroups.com Subscribe : proletar-subscr...@egroups.com Unsubscribe : proletar-unsubscr...@egroups.com List owner : proletar-ow...@egroups.com Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
