==Urologists== | |||
American urologists love foreskins and foreskinned males. Urologists get a substantial fee for amputation of a [[foreskin]], so one may expect to get a sales pitch for a circumcision if one visits a urologist for any reason. Your friendly urologist will be happy to do a circumcision for you for any reason or no reason. Make certain that you do your independent research on [[adult circumcision]] and do not depend on statements from your urologist, which may be biased by self-interest. There are plenty of [[regret men]] who did not do their homework. | |||
