Prais et al. (2009) reported that a boy is 2.8 times more likely to get a [[UTI]] when [[circumcised]] by a [[mohel]] as compared to when circumcised by a physician.<ref name="prais2009" />
The urethra of girls is shorter than that of boys, so it is normal for girls to have more urinary tract infections than boys. Marild & Jodal (1998), working in Sweden, reported an incidence of UTI in girls of 6.6% in the first six years of life, while boys had an incidence of 1.8%.<ref name="marild1998">{{REFjournal
