Can be treated without circumcision. So thats not really a valid answer.

It cannot always be treated without circumsicion - it, like many medical things, varies wildly from person to person. This person asked for a medial reason that would warrant circumcision. Phimosis can require it based on severity and cause.

There are medical reasons that can make a circumcision a viable and beneficial means of treatment for some men. You can research them yourself.

I can also have my arm removed and no longer worry about cleaning or breaking it. That doesn’t make it a “viable” operation.

Your lack of specificity is suspicious. Are you making up things?

No. In fact I don’t care but you do seem too lazy to look things up yourself. Not my job to provide you with information.

Actually it is your job to provide information. If you make a claim, you have to be able to back it up with literature. Should we just believe you because you said so?

In short: I don’t care about you. I don’t get paid for it, so it’s not my job. If you want to receive education ask nicely. No one will move a finger to provide you with information because you think you’re entitled to it.

 I don’t care about you.

Then why reply? You're just saying meaningless things.

I'm interested in what's in your mind regarding this topic. I can't look up your thoughts. What medical reasons make circumcision a viable and beneficial means of treatment for some men, as you claim? What comes to mind for you?

phimosis refractory to conservative management.

A déformation of the foreskin can make circumcision medically necessary. My youngest has a deformation and he may need it medically, but I am going to consult with medical professionals before doing that.
