Dream - Circumcision or circumcision in boys in the Islamic religion is an obligation. Actually, circumcision is not only done by Muslims but also non-Muslims, for health reasons.

Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure to remove or cut part of the foreskin, which is the fold of skin covering the tip of the penis. For parents who have sons, deciding when their child will be circumcised often causes distress.

There are those who can't bear it when their child is still young, but there are also those who want it as soon as possible, even when the child is still a baby. Actually, is there a best time for circumcision for a child?

According to the doctor who practices in Yogyakarta, the faster circumcision is done, the better. In fact, he recommends circumcising children when they are still babies.

"If it were up to me, I would suggest to have circumcision done earlier rather than later. Because circumcision at infancy, firstly, they do not have long-term memory yet, so if there is any pain, they quickly forget it (thus not causing trauma)," he said.

Then, when the baby is still in a period of rapid growth. Later, the healing and recovery process after circumcision, as well as skin regeneration, will be faster.

"When the child is still young and hasn't changed positions much, it will be easier for us to maintain cleanliness after the operation," said Dr. Ade.
