Also, in elderly and disabled men, where assisted care is required for personal hygiene, circumcision makes a huge difference in the rate of UTI and other infections. Lots of things to think about.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174424401721373062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-1152634420725105612006-07-11T10:13:00.000-06:002006-07-11T10:13:00.000-06:00Well, here's an argument for circumcision that I n...Well, here's an argument for circumcision that I never heard of before.<BR/>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13812938/Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857419861452397425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-1150213318371893322006-06-13T09:41:00.000-06:002006-06-13T09:41:00.000-06:00Hi, I kind of stumbled across your blog here, inte...Hi, I kind of stumbled across your blog here, interestingly enough at the post where you mention circumcision. I'm not going to rant about it, but I would like to make one point.<BR/>There is no proven benefit from circumcising boys, so what use is there to cut off a part of him at birth? It does hurt, and it is totally unnecessary. It is also a decision that can't be undone once a child is circumcised. <BR/>As far as Lamaze classes, the main benefit that I got from them was just being further prepared. I was more aware of what was happening while my wife was in labor, and I was able to do my best to help her when she needed me. Discussing this during our second pregnancy (two happy uncut boys, btw) my wife agreed with my Lamaze prognosis.<BR/>So, there is my two cents worth from a random passerby. Good luck whatever decision you make, and good luck with that baby!samuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11574060577424187580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18999880.post-1150157432582815312006-06-12T18:10:00.000-06:002006-06-12T18:10:00.000-06:00I've read a bit about circumcision online but it w...I've read a bit about circumcision online but it was all against. I've yet to see anything for. What I have read is interesting, though. Gratefully NYDD and I don't have to decide on this one. Good luck! I'm still trying to figure out everything I'm going to take to the hospital, too and my class isn't until tomorrow.hairyshoefairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14939329143107250948noreply@blogger.com
