There are many American urologists and the practice of male circumcision.
Lack of experience with a normal body part
American male urologists are drawn from the general population in which the great majority of males have received a medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic infant circumcision,[1] so most have no personal experience of the functions[2] and sensations from the natural intact foreskin. American female urologists don't have male body parts so they also have no experience at all of the functions and sensations of the natural intact foreskin.
This abysmal state of ignorance cannot serve the patients well. Moreover, Muller found that circumcised doctors are biased in favor of infant circumcision, and may also be biased in favor of adult circumcision.[3]
The American Urological Association
The American Urological Association is the medical trade association for the American urological industry. It has the primary function of advancing the business interests and financial well-being of its members.
A search for "circumcision" on its website produces 755 hits, so male circumcision is a major business interest of the urological industry.
