The American Academy of Pediatricians recently issued a statement supporting the procedure. "The task force came to the conclusion that circumcision is cost effective. Although it costs money to circumcise a baby boy, it also saves health costs related to the reduction in sexually transmitted diseases," said one of the group's task force members, Dr. Douglas Diekema.
The pediatric group did not recommend routine male circumcision, but it did say the procedure should be covered by insurance. A study by Dr. Tobian validates the group's findings.
"What we found is that just the current rate of decrease of male circumcision from 79% to 55% over the last 20 years, will increase the United States' health care expenditures by about $2 billion," Tobian said.
Doctors say complications from male circumcision on infants are rare and usually minor. They also say male infants have far fewer complications than men or boys do when they get circumcised later on.
