Your personal experiences with providers are valid, fam, you can just say it didn’t do you or a friend any good and you wish you’d done something else instead.

i went to a surgeon with mine, he just cut stuff out. didnt even mention the existence of cauterization. so y’know, depends on the doctor you find.
i suffered along for a while more until i found out about it. had to go to a private clinic and pay a lot of money for it, of course, but so far it seems to have worked. we’ll see. i’ll consider it fixed if i go a whole year without problems. i’m at 6ish months atm.

Personally I love it when people who are not my doctor offer me specific, actionable medical advice. Especially so when it entails surgery to permanently remove my body parts
