|note=While Prince Harry states "that the chance of getting penile frostbite is much greater if you’re not circumcised" which not only is unproven but also unlogical, because the foreskin protects the glans from frostbite, like it does protect it from faeces and urine during the diaper era of newborns and other harmful influences.

This article wants to offer a comprehensive overview of risks which can occur by undergoing a [[circumcision]]. This page is a landing page for those who want to find a quick overview about [[circumcision ]] risks. Chances are that information given here is shown in more detail in other IntactiWiki articles. Please bear in mind that infants are not born with a diseased [[penis]] that requires surgery. There are no medical indications for infant circumcision and few in later life. Infant circumcision is a medically-unnecssary, non-therapeutic amputation of functional tissue that does not treat or prevent disease. It has risks and complications but no upside benefit.

* [[Financial incentive| Loss of money for a medically not indicated surgery]]
* [[Foreskin restoration|Restoration of the foreskin]] not 100% possible and very time-consuming (adults)
* Risk of [[penile frostbite]]<ref>{{REFweb
