when i had him the nurses and doctors at anehiem memorial hospital told me that they wont do it because there's no medical reasons for it. (cuz it doesnt have to be done) and my doctor is totally against it. But i feel it should be done and that later on in life my son would appreciate it more so. i dont care the cost and this is my first child so im new at all this!? Can anyone help with some good advice?
Where can i find a doctor in or close to O.C.,CA that would circumcise my 1 yr. old boy?
The doctors and nurses were right. He does not need penile reduction surgery. he's made it this far with an intact foreskin, why would you want to cut it off?

Your son will NOT appreciate it later in life! He may very well be upset that you took this choice to have complete genitals away from him.
Do you know what circumcision takes away?

The locker room thing is a total myth. what kind of guy makes comments about another guys naked body and gets away with it? my little brother's are teens and play 4 different sports and are intact and have NEVER had an issue.
Reply:Ask your peditrician.
Reply:Call UCI Medical center. See if they will do it.
Reply:I recommend listening to your doctor.
I would highly recommend NOT cutting away part of your child's genitals.
I would ask that you perform significant research before performing such an irreversible process.
I feel one should not cut parts off of someone's body without their informed consent, be it the mother or the father irrelevant of their intentions. It is an irreversible process. How will the child view your decision when he grows up?
It should be the choice of the victim as to whether or not they want to undergo the procedure. There are many men who try to undo the damage done to them every year: http://www.norm.org/
It is wrong to force an irreversible process onto them that they may not undergo as a adult if they still had the choice.
It's perpetuated by culture, just as FGM in other areas and the majority of people who force it on their children do not know the true facts.
No medical institution in the developed world actually recommends the practice.
The following link contains the position of medical societies in English speaking countries on circumcision. Specifically British Medical Association, Royal Australasian College of Physicians, Canadian Paediatric Society, American Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, Australian College of Paediatrics and Australasian Association of Paediatric Surgeons:

Here is a video of the operation. Watch it if you want to learn more. Please do watch it.

It is not just a little snip here and there. Watch the above video of a circumcision in progress.
The foreskin keeps the glans soft and moist and protects it from trauma and injury. Without this protection, the glans becomes dry, calloused, and desensitized from exposure and chafing.
Specialized nerve endings in the foreskin enhance sexual pleasure.
The foreskin may have functions not yet recognized or understood.
[ http://www.nocirc.org/publish/pamphlet7.... ]
"Circumcision removes the most sensitive parts of the penis and decreases the fine-touch pressure sensitivity of glans penis. The most sensitive regions in the uncircumcised penis are those parts ablated by circumcision. When compared to the most sensitive area of the circumcised penis, several locations on the uncircumcised penis that are missing from the circumcised penis were significantly more sensitive." Circumcision removes as much as 75% of sensation [ http://www.nocirc.org/touch-test/bju_668... ].
The foreskin reduces the force required by the penis to enter the vagina. It also increases the sexual enjoyment of the female partner. Here is a study to back this up: http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/ohar...
Performing circumcision on a child can and does result in the deaths of children due to blood loss and/or failure of the immune system.
It can and does result in very significant scaring.
It can and does result in sexual problems later in life.
Circumcised males have a much higher rate of sexual dysfunction. [ http://www.cirp.org/library/sex_function... ]
A lot of the information perpetuated about it preventing diseases is false.
The study that you are less susceptible to aids if you are circumcised is flawed. Here is a discussion of the report and its methodology by "Doctors Opposing Circumcision": http://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.o... .
Have a read through their statement. It is very informative. It shows the methodological flaws and poor conclusion in the report that the WHO has jumped upon. Everything is aptly sourced.
Men may often feel a need to justify their own circumcision by the generation of claims of health benefits.[ http://www.cirp.org/library/psych/goldma... ]
"The medical literature is full of protective claims for various diseases, such as sexually transmitted disease , male and female cancers, and urinary tract infection. All such claims have been disproved."[ http://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.o... ]
"The United States has one of the highest rates of male circumcision and also one of the highest rates of HIV infection in the developed world, suggesting that circumcision is having exactly the opposite effect. Conversely, Finland and Japan have some of the lowest rates of circumcision and also some of the lowest rates of HIV/AIDS."
Condoms have been proven to be an effective means of combating AIDS.
Please do consider the operation seriously before going ahead with it. Do not do it just because it is a main stream operation.
The vast majority of the world(83%) is not circumcised.

give the lil dude a shot of Patron and do it fast so his peter wont be hurtin n shittt
Reply:Listen to your doctor. There is a reason he is totally against it. If you think your son will appreciate it later in life, let him make the decision when he's old enough. There is no medical reason that a healthy boy needs to be circumcised.
Reply:I live in L.A. county now but I would contact HOAG Hospital in Newport or CHOC Hospital in Orange and ask someone in the labor/recovery department. Most pediatricians do not do them, but OB-GYN's do them (because they are surgeons). So you could ask for some names of OB's in the hospital who perform them and then call. That is ridiculous they told you that because of ALL the babies born at Anaheim Memorial you know most of them are probably getting circumcized somehow! Ask your OB about it (referrals) - my OB did my son's circumcision. I don't think those nurses know what they're talking about - I have never heard of a hospital not allowing them!
