I was going back and forth in my own mind about having it done. My wife and i decided to go ahead and get it done.

So the doctor takes him and does it. A couple hours pass and we have to change his diaper. His gause falls off and we have to put it back on, and the sheer force of his reluctance and physical reaction was the most emotionally heartbreaking moment I've ever felt.

He was screaming in pain and his legs were using i think every amount of strength in him to resist us putting the gause back on.

I now having witnessed this firsthand am completely against doing this to boys. That was the first real pain he's ever felt in life and it was completely unnecessary.

That's why if you're going to do it, do it fresh out of the womb.

He's 2 days old and this was the first chance they offered us to do it. IDK why they couldn't have done it when he was first born.

ive seen many circumcisions, the childs reaction is completely variable. I've seen some kids cry their brains out during the entire procedure, and I've seen some kids grimace a bit when the numbing needle is placed and they are completely quiet for the whole thing. Most only cry a bit during the initial numbing then you give em a pacifier and they are calm for the rest of it. I basically shadowed an older doc who had been doing this for like 35 years and he was very good at it.

Who the hell gets circumcised in this day and age?

Are you that god damned lazy to take 2 seconds to clean it in the shower? I dont get it. If cosmetical, leave the option until theyre old enough to decide themselves. But even then, just accept your dick. Everybody is born with it.

Christ its easy to make it look circumcised if you pull the skin back. Idiots

The nurse told us that it helps prevent infections. That was the main reason I decided to do it.

The healing process of circumcision is painful rather or not you did on a newborn. There is no good reason to circumcise an infant.

Although having a foreskin increases the risk of UTI it shouldn't be a problem because it is easily treatable.

The answer to that is definitely no. I can't even imagine what the doctor would have said to me if I had even asked him if I could keep it.

Most of the world is not circumcised. This isn't an issue. Do you think guys in the U.K. just run around with UTIs and yeast infections all of their lives? I know this may be difficult to accept, but medical science here in the U.S. isn't infallible and is indeed wrong about many things. Circumcision is one of those things.

why do people make this meme argument, do you think theres like a complex set of flaps they have to open for an hour and clean? it makes no difference you just fold it down and clean it like anybody else jfc

A. Heavily lube the gauze before you put it back on. Vasoline works fine. Should come off nice and easy with no adherence to diaper or gauze if you do it right. Most babies do great if you lube it up. Not sure if they used a plastibell or the gomco but either way should heal up soon

B. If you want to actually have an intellectually based conversation feel free to chat with your pediatrician regarding the actual risks and benefits of the procedure, this place much like most of the Internet is filled with pseudointellectuals casting out biased research and opinion pieces; dont get lost in the malarkey

Usually the fatalities involve Jewish circumcisions not done by medical professionals, resulting in fuckups that get easily infected.

But yeah, I never got the whole give your child an open wound in an easily infectable area to avoid infections! argument, especially when the rest of the world does fine without circumcision. Does the US think all of Europe have infected shafts or something?
