if an uncircumsised baby gets nappy rash the foreskin is not there to pretect his penis and it can get badly infected and even scar at the end so that the hole needs to be reopened.
maybe that should be another reason to wait until they are old enough to decide for themselves?
I have never known anyone who had the specific issue you are mentioning...and most men around her are circumcised as infants. I think thats there are potential problems with anything...a child could have problems with and circumcised penis or an uncircumcised penis. I have read about issues in both...
-with a circumcised penis, if it is not rolled down and cared for properly (not everyone realizes the proper care for a circumcised penis) the penis can develop adhesions. Also if a circumcised penis is cut to short it can cause painful erection.s
-with an uncircumcised penis, the foreskin can occasionally grow over the tip making peeing painful and requiring circumcision at that point. I have also heard of cases with uncircumcised penis's where the foreskin becomes too tight and constricts the penis (especially during erections) is quite painful and requires surgery.
So as you can see both have pros and cons...neither of which appear often or in most cases. Most uncircumcised penises (I assume...as most ppl I know are circumcised) have little or no issues and most circumcised penises have little or no issues.![]()
yeh but see them problems with uncircumcised penis up there......... thats why some people have to circumcise for MEDICAL reasons.
the thing i was referring to (googled it to find the name) is balanitis. usually the penis is protected by the foreskin though in bad cases cirumcisim may be done anyway. however if the child is already circumcised there is nothing to protect it to begin with and it causes more problems with a circumcised penis.
just because you dont know anyone that has been effected doesnt mean it doesnt happen? i dont know anyone with aids but actually quite a few people are effected by it!!
