Regret parents

Regret parents is a term used to describe parents who have at least one boy and had him circumcised, but now regret the genital mutilation.

In some countries (esp. in the USA) and cultures (mainly among Jews and Muslims), expectant parents are sometimes urged by their own parents or relatives to have their son circumcised. Even doctors and religious leaders and communities encourage or press them to agree to the circumcision of the son. However many parents later regret their decision.
