Hello Daniel,
There have been cases in which males circumcised as babies or children have won court cases and received damages for the damage done to their genitals. For example, in one case a young man won his case against the hospital because he demonstrated that his circumcision caused his penis to have a curve in it which had caused him emotional distress and ostracism by his peers. For these reasons he was awarded damages. If you are interested you should contact a lawyer that deals in these things to determine when your limitation period begins. (period of time in which the law allows you to bring a lawsuit before it expires) You might want to contact an organization called "Attorneys For The Rights of the Child" for example. You could have the circumstances necessary to found a successful claim to recoup for your damages, because some of the things you are describing can be caused by circumcision. If the circumcision is the proximate cause of your injuries, you will have the elements necessary to put together a claim.
>I was circumcised as a baby. Now I'm 20, and I have a question - I hope this makes sense, and I am quite serious in asking this question so please answer seriously.
>When flacid, my penis hangs quite noticably rotated to one side. This is not as pronounced when erect. On the under side of my penis, and I suspect every penis, there is a slight "line" down the middle, that goes down the scrotum. There is a "break" in the line where (I assume) the foreskin was removed. In my case, the line before and after that break does not match up. It is skewed almost 90 degrees, which i suspect is what is causing my problem.
>Is this possible? Is this genetic, or the product of a poor circumcision, or something else?
>It has been that way as long as I can remember. I hate the idea of changing one's body for vanity, but if it was a surgical goof, I would like to be normal. It is embarassing and I want to know if there is anything that can be done.
