Source: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Circumcision by Doctor Paul Fleiss, page 170. Let me point out that what Dr. Fleiss means when he says there is no such thing as phimosis in children is that congenital phimosis is normal.
_______________________
There is no such thing as phimosis.There is especially no such thing as phimosis in children.This is a bogus "condition" or "disease," largely invented by nineteenth-century quacks looking for an easy way to hustle gullible people out of their money.
Today, circumcisers make a diagnosis of "phimosis" because they are ignorant of the facts of normal penile development and because that is what they were taught to do in medical school.
Since many insurance companies refuse to pay for routine circumcision, doctors and hospitals fraudulently swindle reimbursement out of insurance companies by claiming that newborns are being circumcised as a cure for the disease "phimosis" rather than simply as a matter of hospital routine.This is medical fraud, pure and simple, and you are paying for it through increased premiums.
Circumcisers define phimosis either as a foreskin that is "too long," a foreskin with a small preputal orifice that protects the glans from premature exposure, or a foreskin that is attached to the glans. These are all normal development stages of the baby's penis.
Pretending that these normal stages of penile development are a deformity is like pretending that a newborn's lack of teeth is a deformity of the face and mouth.
By robbing him of his foreskin, circumcisers are literally severing a male from a means of perceiving, experiencing, sharing, and enjoying his existence.
So if you ever hear about a boy who had to be circumcised, you can be certain that this boy was circumcised unnecessarily under false pretenses. This is a very sad example of medical ignorance and medical fraud. The real tragedy is that an inonocent child has been made to suffer the consequences of adult fears, irrationalities and ignorance.
Sadly, circumcisers have shown that they never have our children's best interest at heart.They have exploited the fears of parents and tricked them into a surgery that no rational parent would agree to if given all the facts.
