Circumcision, more properly described as ''posthectomy'', is the surgical excision and amputation of the foreskin of the penis, which permanently removes a significant portion of the epithelium of the penis and destroys the significant and important [[Foreskin#Protective_functions| protective]], [[Foreskin#Immunological_functions| immunological]], [[Foreskin#Sexual_functions| sexual]], and [[Foreskin#Sexual_behavior| sensory]] physiological functions of that structure, and leaves the patient permanently and irreversibly impaired by the loss of those functions.<ref name="cold-taylor1999">{{ColdCJ TaylorJR 1999}}</ref>

Although a [[circumcision]] may be performed at any age, circumcisions are most commonly performed on newborn boys in the first month of life outside of the mother's womb. At that tender age general anesthesia is too dangerous to administer, so newborn boys receive only minimal [[pain]] relief at best and, in many cases, none at all.

Two ethicists, Myers & Earp (2020), have conducted a detailed review and analysis of the claimed medical benefits of non-therapeutic [[circumcision]]. They have determined that the alleged benefits are not material, so they do not support granting of consent by a surrogate. Moreover, they comment that even the most perfectly executed surgery produces trauma and harm to the patient. Circumcision also produces tissue loss and loss of function, therefore, circumcision should be performed only after the individual reaches the age of consent.<ref name="myers2020">{{REFjournal

Psychic trauma is a psychologically upsetting experience that produces an emotional or mental disorder or otherwise has lasting negative effects on a person's thoughts, feelings, or behavior.[1]

Birth trauma

De Mause (1996) argued that early trauma results in aggressive adult behavior.[2] Jacobsen & Bygdeman (1998) reported an association between birth trauma and adult suicide.[3]

Circumcision trauma

There are no medical indications for infant circumcision,[4] which is a painful, traumatic, non-therapeutic, medically-unnecessary invasive amputative surgery.[5] Infant circumcision still occurs more than 2,000 times a day in the United States. Circumcision trauma includes both physical trauma and psychic trauma.[6] [7] [8] [9] Batteley, Metters & Smith (2023) state, in addition to the physical risks, the psychological risks should receive attention.[10]

Bollinger (2023) reported a preliminary survey comparing intact and circumcised men using the ACE test. The circumcised men had higher ACE scores than the intact men. Bollinger has called for additional study to determine if male genital cutting (circumcision) should be classified as an Adverse Childhood Experience.[11]

Physical circumcision trauma

Circumcision, more properly described as posthectomy, is the surgical excision and amputation of the foreskin of the penis, which permanently removes a significant portion of the epithelium of the penis and destroys the significant and important protective, immunological, sexual, and sensory physiological functions of that structure, and leaves the patient permanently and irreversibly impaired by the loss of those functions.[12]

Results of physical circumcision trauma

Psychic circumcision trauma

According to Marilyn Milos, "every man who has a scar on his penis also has a scar on his psyche." The medical community, however, has been slow to recognize the trauma of circumcision.[10] [13]

Although a circumcision may be performed at any age, circumcisions are most commonly performed on newborn boys in the first month of life outside of the mother's womb. At that tender age general anesthesia is too dangerous to administer, so newborn boys receive only minimal pain relief at best and, in many cases, none at all.

Circumcised boys had a higher pain response at time of vaccination six months later as compared with intact boys,[14][15] showing that the nervous system had been permanently sensitized to heightened pain sensation.

Taddio et al. (1997) concluded:

“ Although postsurgical central sensitisation (allodynia and hyperalgesia) can extend to sites of the body distal from the wound, suggesting a supraspinal effect, the long-term consequences of surgery done without anaesthesia are likely to include post-traumatic stress as well as pain. It is, therefore, possible that the greater vaccination response in the infants circumcised without anaesthesia may represent an infant analogue of a post-traumatic stress disorder triggered by a traumatic and painful event and re-experienced under similar circumstances of pain during vaccination.
– Taddio et al. (1997)[15]

Boyle & Ramos (2019) reported PTSD in circumcised boys in the Philippine Islands where Tuli remains the usual practice.[16]

Ethics

Two ethicists, Myers & Earp (2020), have conducted a detailed review and analysis of the claimed medical benefits of non-therapeutic circumcision. They have determined that the alleged benefits are not material, so they do not support granting of consent by a surrogate. Moreover, they comment that even the most perfectly executed surgery produces trauma and harm to the patient. Circumcision also produces tissue loss and loss of function, therefore, circumcision should be performed only after the individual reaches the age of consent.[17] Consent by a surrogate for a non-therapeutic circumcision is an unethical practice.
