'''Shock''' is one of the possible consequences of [[circumcision]], especially in newborns and infants at an age when effective [[pain]] suppression with general anesthesia is not possible.<ref name="agoglu2022">{{REFjournal |last=Aydoğlu |first= |init=B |author-link= |last2=Aydoğlu |first2= |init2=M |author2-link= |last3=Okur |first3= |init3=MH |author3-link= |etal=no |title=Social and psychological effects of circumcision: A narrative review |trans-title= |language= |journal=Journal of Applied Nursing and Health |location= |date=2022-12 |volume=4 |issue=2 |pages=264-71 |url=https://janh.candle.or.id/index.php/janh/article/view/110/138 |archived= |quote= ||DOI=10.55018/janh.v4i2.110 |format=PDF |accessdate=2023-05-03}}</ref>

Infants regularly go into shock during [[circumcision]] due to the extreme [[pain]] they cannot escape and from which they cannot defend themselves (because of being restrained by a [[Circumstraint]] or because of being held by adults). <ref name="agoglu2022" /> This is their only way to turn off pain perception. Visible symptoms are usually very swollen eyelids and puffy faces after the intense screaming before. With some, the apathetic eyes do not close by themselves in shock.

The facial expressions of these children are described by some [[intactivists]] as after being subjected to cruel torture (e.g. rape). Many babies are apathetic, no longer respond to their parents' speech and have massive [[breastfeeding ]] confusion.
