Doesn't mean it can't get infected

Not by a urinary tract infection. We’re using the same example in both boys and girls: a urinary tract infection. In boys, circumcision lowers the rate of further urinary tract infections. In girls, it doesn’t. Remember that boys get more complicated infections.pic.twitter.com/tx4odBYCYx

Why are you so set on urinary tract infections when they're generally very easily treatable, and women get them far more often than any man cut or not? :/

But if you insist on this point, then I believe I already explained, those who claim reduction in UTIs fully admit that ONLY applies to the first years of life, any "benefit" disappears after that. Probably because the only real way a foreskin increases UTIs is with phimosis?

Did I go over preputioplasty with you yet? I can't remember this has gone on too long

Replying to @KhazWolf @Gregory_Malchuk and
Yes, you did. Chronic infection in the first years of life can lead to damaged immune systems. Preputioplasty doesn’t treat damaged immune systems or the infections. You’re assuming that UTIs are caused by phimosis without evidence, just so you can point to preputioplasty.

How the fuck does circumcision treat a damaged immune system? :v

It doesn’t, I never said it did. However, it lowers rate of further infection, preventing the immune system from being damaged in the first place. However, without treatment, the immune system gets damaged- technically doing harm through inaction. On a common infection, too.

As if destroying the langerhans cells in the mucosal portion of the prepuce doesn't "damage the immune system"? I'm beyond the point where I can believe you're arguing in good faith. It's been fun being trolled but I have better things to do. Recommend you find a new hobby.

I mean, you’re technically right. But not as much as damaged white blood cell counts. That’s really dangerous for small children. I would prefer as little infections as possible for my kid. But you know what? I’ll probably not circumcise my kid. You gave me enough reason not to.

Here's the issue, on one hand we have the guaranteed removal of the langerhans cells and other functions of the foreskin in every single circumcision against the possible benefits if that circumcision prevents recurring UTIs. Just because the possible damage of possible UTIs >>

2> could be worse than the damage that happens, doesn't mean that RIC is a choice that should be given, I think we're kind of arguing the same thing, we're for stopping circumcision where there is no medical indication, no actual medical issue that needs surgery to treat.
