They'd be paying it all themselves anyway since there is no medical reason to do so and often normal state/university owned hospitals don't do such procedures.

Many people post questions here to which answers could be found elsewhere. It is a forum, and looking for a recommendation is often what someone is looking for.

Sadly this turned into a debate, with users including yourself demonstrating a total lack of tolerance and respect for the beliefs of others.

Nah, I think PrincipiaDiscordia was annoyed by the arrogance of the "innocent" poster - "I'm American and proud and always proud" yada yada and I'm gonna perform circumcision on my son either way.

I agree with PD, this is a delicate subject one wouldn't ask for advice on forums, and as their first posts or something at that.

Smells troll(ish) to me, particularly if they read related threads they would have known how people react here and that in fact no-one will come up with much info.

I have to say I agree with this.
I know the post was merged with an already existing thread but both the post in question and this thread in general asked for info only and not a debate about the pros and cons of circumcision. It’s already been done to death on here already and IIRC many heated discussions on the topic were moderated and posts deleted in the past.

I don’t agree with circumcision unless medically necessary myself but that is beside the point. The poster wasn’t asking for my opinion.
Unfortunately the paediatric urologist we saw in Neuchâtel a few years ago has retired (and I don’t even know if he did neonatal circumcision) so I can’t recommend anyone. It wasn’t deemed medically necessary for our son and the problem was resolved by other means which came as a relief as he was 12 at the time.

I've moved all the arguments to a thread where they belong https://www.englishforum.ch/general-...ght-wrong.html

Please, however strongly you feel, let's keep this thread clear for the info requested.

I am quoting again from the thread. Really, your paediatrician will advise.



I see zero reason in asking again on the forum.


And to refute the previous comment about new circumcision rates - Australia is below 20%. Switzerland is well below 20%. I did a quick google search but could not find any up to date statistics for USA. Most articles were at least 10 years old. In Australia, routine circumcision for non-religious reasons went out of fashion in the late 1970's.

Pediatric urologists do circumcision for medical reasons, but my impression is that they will talk you out of it here if you do inquire. Also, keep in mind that you don't want someone who rarely does circumcisions to operate on your son. This was the case when a boy was recently mutilated in Geneva. I would go so far to suggest finding a doctor in France with more experience if you're set on this.
