Anyhow, I think the parents should adopt healthier ways of the initiation. Where I come from we do it, but by a proper doctor, in hygienic environment. No. These infections will have to heal and wound healing often results in contraction of the skin, painful scars, hypertrophic scars, keloids or a chronic wound. Gangrene is dead tissue due to deficient blood flow to cells. Gangrene ascends (continuously leads to more dead tissue) so a debridement (removing all dead tissue) or amputation must be done. The pinetree has to be cut off. These boys with botched up circumcisions will have problems with their sexual functions (erection, sensation, ejaculation), urinary functions (strictures, blockages, urinary tract infections). They will also have psychological/mental issues in future. 43 deaths this year?! This is a gross human right violation. The Government of SA should totally ban this procedure unless it is done in a health care facility by trained medical personnel. What are those? Hypertrophy >>> excessive development of an organ or part; specifically : increase in bulk (as by thickening of muscle fibers) without multiplication of parts Keloid >>> a thick scar resulting from excessive growth of fibrous tissue Gangrene >>> local death of soft tissues due to loss of blood supply Source.Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on.
