I have a question the answer to which is probably gross - can you help?

NOTE THE WORD "GROSS" IN MY SUBJECT LINE AND STOP READING IF YOU THINK YOU WILL BE GROSSED OUT.

Someone here at work said yesterday she was at the hospital because her cousin had to have an emergency circumcision.

Why on EARTH . . . ??? An emergency?

This is an honest query, mods, can it stay? I hope everyone will keep their inappropriate comments to themselves so I can get an answer. (Obviously, I couldn't ask the person with the cousin.)

1. May be due to infection.

Rare, but, it happens.

3. poor guy

so... help a lesbian out... can infection be due to something besides disease or poor hygiene? (sometimes i hate my curiosity)

7. I can't think of any other reason.

But I'm not in the medical profession and don't personally possess a penis so I suppose there could be another reason.

2. Yep... I've heard of them

In fact, both of my brothers got themselves caught in their zippers when they were 7 or 8, and that's when they got snipped.

4. OW!

Poor kids. Both my sisters rue the day they agreed to C. for their sons in infancy. :cry: Poor babies.

5. Well, a guy I went to college with had to have one because...

was injured and it was deemed more advantageous to complete the removal rather than attempt a restoration. More likely an infection as stated above.
