I support conversation and debate. What I tell my parents is that there are benefits and risks with either decision and medically I am fine with either choice.

Not on the list, sorry. Bleeding, infection, pain, risk for std’s later, looking like dad and brothers... I don’t think anything I say has ever actually influenced anyone’s decision, though.

Do you have any data on that? What percent of circumcised men wish they hadn’t been, and what percent on uncircumcised men wish they had been? I’ve never seen any.

I don't know that anyone has studied it formally.
@intactive has compiled some information here http://www.circumstitions.com/Resent.html Here's a book of 50 case studies https://www.amazon.com/Unspeakable-Mutilations-Circumcised-Men-Speak-ebook/dp/B00L5FPF2C …#i22 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

If you want docs to advise things you have to offer proof - we’re all a bunch of geeks. It would be an interesting study.

In addition to clinical risks and potential benefits of removing a child's foreskin, do you advise what the functions of the foreskin are? In our culture this is information many parents don't have.

Nope. Sadly one of the things it does do is increase the incidence of std’s. Most parents have already made this decision before they talk to me anyway.

But what about @AmerAcadPeds #circumcision policy statement? Parents rely heavily on that. Do you think its failure to advise the functionality of the #foreskin has anything to do w/the fact that amputating a functional part of a child's body would be considered child abuse?
