→Statements regarding male circumcision
Some medical trade associations have published an advisory statement regarding male circumcision. Typically, the statements tend to:
* omit a description of the [[foreskin]] and its [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| protective, immunological, sensory, and sexual physiological functions]].
* omit an adequate description of the [[pain]] of circumcision of the newborn, lack information on the lack of effectiveness of available analgesic methods, but recommend the use of analgesia for circumcision.
* omit a description of the [[Trauma| physical and psychic trauma]] inherent in circumcision.
