Circumcision is a surgical procedure to remove the foreskin from the head of the penis. Some parents choose to have their sons circumcised as a baby. Ususally this is done by an obstetrician(a doctor who delivers babies), a pediatrician (a doctor who cares for children)or a neonatologist(a doctor who cares for newborns). However, when the boy is older circumcision is usually done by a urologist.

BEDWETTING
Another morning brings wet sheets, your child in tears, you at your wit's end. Bedwetting, also call nighttime enuresis, affects many children,as well as teenagers and even some adults. Although frustrating, its usually not a sign of a serious problem.

IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY CHILD?
NO. Children who wet the bed beyong the age of five generally have bladders that need more time to develop before they can hold urine throughout the night. Some children also sleep so deeply that they don't wake up even when thier bladder is full and they need to use the bathroom.

WHAT WILL A DOCTOR DO?
The doctor will began by asking questions about the family medical history, frequency and other issues the child may have. An exam may be performed so that its results can determine a solution to the bedwetting problem.

IF BEDWETTING IS A PROBLEM FOR YOUR CHILD, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND JUMPSTART A SOLUTION.
