== Circumcision and risk of UTI == * '''Neonatal circumcision decreases the risk of UTI (Level 2a).''' * The risk of UTI is low in infant males and decreases further beyond infancy * '''Insufficient Level 1 evidence to justify recommending universal circumcision to prevent UTIs in normal males.''' ** '''In boys with urological abnormalities (high-grade VUR, posterior urethral valves, primary megaureters), a stronger effect of neonatal circumcision in preventing UTIs has been demonstrated and, therefore, it is recommended that a discussion with the parents is advisable for this subgroup of neonates'''
