Subject: RE: BS: Circumcision: pros and cons
ANd re infant crying after circumcision: infants scream for a minute or two at the hospital during the surgery.   The area is still tender for a day or so afterwards, but not enough to cause excessive crying. And after that, the only "pain" is suffered by the person changing the baby's diaper, who must learn how to wrap a tiny bit of medicated gauze around a slippery area about half the size of your smallest fingernail, tight enough so it won't rub off and loose enough so it doesn't cause pain. THe incision heals completely in about two weeks.

And after that, the only related "pains" can avoided completely by ignoring the rants of misinformed third parties.
