Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
Circumcision is a minor surgery with minimal blood loss. In my opinion there is no problem for performing the surgery for him with this level of haemoglobin. Waiting for the surgery may cause repeated infection or UTI in him as he has difficulty in passing urine.
You should start iron supplementation for him to correct his haemoglobin levels.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you
