I apologize for some of the ignorant people on this website. I'm a woman and we go through problems as well not because we are unclean. I for one shower everyday and am religious about cleaning my area but on occasion still succumb to yeast infections. It's normal. I'm just sorry your mother didn't have you done while you were a baby before there was chance for such infection to take place. That's why I had my son done cause sometimes it's just unavoidable and some people need to get it done later in life. This just saves so much pain later on for him. It was so clean and easy for him. The worst part was the pinprick of the anethesia and the little soreness he had that day when the freezing wore off but that was it. The next few days were a piece of cake and he recovered seamlessly. Gave him tylenol the first day for the soreness but he was completely fine after that up until he was fully healed. People are just ignorant of the benefits of it as well as the presumed "torture" of it. It's more torturous for a full grown man to go through it as a result of infection. That's more cruel I think.
