Circumcision for 6 month old baby

2020-12-28 15:25:52
My son is 6 month old . I need advice whether circumcision is recommended for my baby . Last week we met pediatrician since my son is urinating frequently. We tested urine routine and urine culture . Routine is normal and culture shows infection. But he doesn't have fever and he well active, so doctor advice to take second culture test after 1 week . But again second result also shows infection. So doctor gave antibiotics for 5 days . So consider all the above and I would request/ advice whether is circumcision is recommended for my son ?
