circumsize

Sorry I know there was the same topic asked about a few hours ago but I was also curious about it. I'm having a boy this time and my whole family is full of girls so nobody in my family can help me. What are the advantages and disadvantages for getting my son circumsized or not?

I'm by NO means a doctor, but this is my experience, I practically raised my nephew, he wasn't circumcised, he was fine and dandy when he was younger, and okay with his mom washing him up, and cleaning his privates, well now he's 8 and much more private, and doesn't allow his mom to clean it thoroughly, it gets infected CONSTANTLY because he's too young to get the magnitude of cleaning it, his doctor said he's had so many infections he'll more than likely need it circumcised in the near future, and he's going to feel a LOT more pain than a baby. My son was circumcised the day after he was born, it bled for about 10 minutes, he cried until he was in my arms again, and that was the end of it, he's never had any issues with it, and it's just wayyy less hassle! Good luck on your decision!
