'A study that highlights the importance of circumcision in New Zealand is pushing for routine practice on male infants in the country, but medical experts in the country disagrees, the New Zealand Herald reports.

Circumcision reduces the risk of infections, cancer and other health issues, and as such, male infants should be subjected to it routinely, a study claims.

Sydney University Professor of Medicine Brian Morris led a team of 12 medical experts to conduct the study.

Their report revealed the risk of urinary tract infection and kidney inflammation was 10 times greater in uncircumcised babies than those circumcised.'
