The testimonials on this blog are from real people who (mostly) come from the USA. This blog serves to document common circumcision complications and the prevailing ignorance surrounding this archaic practice. Singly, reports of circumcision harm are dismissed as anecdotal. Collectively, these reports are proof that circumcision damages boys and the men they become.

"I wish I had done more research"
"Spent most of the day yesterday at the ER with our 3 day old baby boy waiting for a
surgeon to fix his messed up circumcision. I don't understand how such a simple and
routine procedure could go wrong. Thank God the dr thinks he should heal up just fine and
not have any permanent damage. I'm trying to decide if we should go talk to the
original surgeon, who was a complete jerk to me before the surgery, and demand
an explanation or just be grateful that everything is okay now and move on.
I wish I had done more research, I didn't even know there was more than one type. When
we got to the hospital for L&D, they said when the time came we could talk to the
surgeon about the different types and make a decision based on that. So when the surgeon
got there Saturday he just sent the nurse to get H, and I asked to speak with him first. He
was a complete jerk to me and just said that's the type he does. When I asked him what I
need to know, what to look for, and how to take care of it he answered with pure
annoyance in his voice ”nothing.” I asked the on call pediatrician and the nurses the same
questions and they all said we didn't need to do or know anything" -Anon
