i come from a culture that practices as well, also i have first hand knowledge and experience about this. they're unable to pee during the healing stage of the procedure, the pain is intense at this point, its like acid being poured on an open wound. but like i said that after the healing process the pain is over and done with. some people do have complications but many dont. i have cousins who died from this procedure, and i also have cousins and sisters and aunts, and my mother as well as myself, who have normal healthy lives.
