To DJT4Prez: Vitamin K can be given orally, or you can delay circumcision. There is very little evidence that penile cancer develops if the child is taught how to clean themselves properly, and taught to as a young man be practicing safe sex every t8me. Most parents do still circumcise their little ones because: 1) the baby won’t remember the pain, 2) the younger infant has less complication risks, 3) they don’t want their child to appear “different” than their peers, 4) some have a circumcision for religious reasons. Having assisted many a doctor with circumcisions I can say the majority either inject a lidocaine at several parts of the foreskin or a topical cream to numb is utilized. The problem is the doctors don’t wait for the injectable to take effect at numbing, they inject and immediately proceed, causing much pain and infant distress.
Agreed. I would forego the vitamin k and the circumcision, if I had it to do all again. I was young and stupid and trusted the medical community back when I had children.
