No it’s about 10x the cost in every facet: financial, healing time, etc. the body doesn’t have a chance to heal using stem cells so the result is more scar tissue. The patient is already exposed to sex so can sense the loss of the nerves and may have STIs otherwise would not

Chance of complication increases significantly and ability to tell where cut should be made becomes more difficult.

Again, evidence? Studies that show it’s harder on an adult to see the foreskin clearly compared to an infant?

In fact, it's easier to be more precise with an adult's fully developed & retractile penis than with infant

You really have zero idea about circumcision. Very plainly, doctors will admit that the procedure is much less risky and much easier to do on an infant. The infant has stem cells and can heal with almost no scars without stitches. Adults cannot.

Very plainly, doctors say that w/out any basis for it b/c they're afraid they might get sued otherwise. "Stem cells"? "Almost no scars"? I guess next you'll be telling me you gave the twins magic beans that kept

doctors use biology. I know u wouldn’t kno bcuz u don’t know a lot. But biology and evidence dictate their opinions. Stem cells are extractable from the foreskin. Naturally the young can heal faster and quicker because of their cellular advantage. Scars arise when circ is delayed

Every cut penis has an obvious, discolored scar, whether
#circumcision is delayed or not. "Stem cells" won't magically change that.

all that paper argues is “the skin has feeing so it matters” when it’s been proven that men have full sexual function circed. It also claims there is no evidence of STI reduction, when there is. American pediatricians understand the benefits outweigh the risks. They ain’t wrong

You can't be a man with "full sexual function" if you no longer have a foreskin b/c you've zero feeling in it. It's illogical, ridiculous & only suggests you understand nothing about sex for you to imply otherwise. Do you honestly think sensation isn't a bodily function?

US #pediatricians are wrong about child #circumcision helping to prevent STIs or anything else, which is why they no longer even try to defend the practice from those who point out they're wrong - namely, virtually every other #pediatrician on the planet. https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/131/4/796.full.pdf …

They have defended it by preserving the practice. Circumcision is akin to a vaccine.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2801441/ …
