Changes

Adhesions of the residual [[skin]] to the [[glans penis]] usually occur after the [[circumcision]] of an infant boy. They are a pathological condition. When a young boy is to lose his [[foreskin]] to [[amputation]] by the surgical operation euphemistically known as "circumcision", the first step is to break the normal, healthy fusion described above. The surgeon does this in an incredibly brutal manner that causes extreme [[pain]] and [[trauma]] by passing a blunt probe under the foreskin to break the normal fusion with the [[glans penis]]. This preliminary step leaves the [[glans penis]] in a raw condition. After the [[foreskin]] is cut away, the residual shaft skin of the [[penis]] is also left with raw ends.
