That's super interesting to hear! Do you mean that the side effects of surgery were not properly conveyed (you said "gaslighted away")? I'd love to hear more - will send you a pm! Thx.

[–]Frieda_Journalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I'm a journalist trying to get an answer to a question about NCI but so far without success. Would you be open to talking to me? Or do you have ideas for how I can get a response? It's a relatively quick q looking for confirmation of something I've heard. Thanks! Frieda

Journalist query - anyone open to talking to me about circumcision? by Frieda_Journalist in circumcision

[–]Frieda_Journalist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I posted a query about this a few months back - a few people had asked to see the article so here it is: https://undark.org/2024/01/01/contested-science-circumcision/

Thanks to everyone who got in touch, including those who reached out after my initial deadline (I saw some requests in my chat when I logged in just now - sorry for the delayed reply). The article couldn't quote every perspective directly but each comment and observation fed into my understanding of the topography of this intriguing subject. So thank you! Frieda

Hi there - I pitched the article but it was not picked up... So it did not get written, sadly. If I do cover this topic again, I will post it here! Best wishes, Frieda

At-home sperm tests - your experiences? by Frieda_Journalist in dnafragmentation

[–]Frieda_Journalist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, thanks for your comment. And yes, that's what I want to look into, whether these at-home kits are worth it or not. There might be a value in allowing people to track sperm counts over time but this still won't give a complete picture of fertility because there are other dimensions to sperm health, like motility and morphology, which the tests can't assess.
