==Consent==
Male circumcision is an elective surgical [[amputation ]] of the foreskin part of the penis. Legally, the patient or his surrogate (proxy) must grant ''informed'' consent before the surgery can be performed.
The surgeon most provide all material information to the patient before [[informed consent]] can be granted.
==Pain during and after circumcision==
Circumcision is a surgical [[amputation ]] of part of the [[penis]]. It is normal to feel [[pain]] during the surgical [[amputation]], however this is usually eliminated by general or local anesthesia.
One may expect pain after surgery until the incision heals. Ask your doctor for a two-week supply of an opioid pain reliever.

===Other adverse effects===
# Circumcision is a surgical [[amputation ]] of functional tissue. The various functions cease to operate. If the patient does not like the results, it cannot be reversed or undone.
# Recovery from adolescent or adult circumcision is slow and painful. Erections are painful because the skin is stretched and the sutures are stressed. [[Wound dehiscence]] may occur.
# The [[foreskin]] is protective of the [[glans penis]]. After the foreskin is amputated, the glans penis is exposed so that it touches clothing and other things. Some men report this causes extreme pain so that they cannot wear pants for an extended time. The pain subsides when the glans penis starts to build a layer of keratin to protect itself. The [[keratinization]] of the glans penis causes loss of sensation in the glans.

# The heavily innervated [[ridged band]] is located on the foreskin and is always amputated along with the foreskin. The most sensitive regions in the intact penis are those parts ablated by circumcision.<ref>{{Sorrells etal 2007}}</ref> There is great loss of sensation caused by the [[amputation ]] of this structure. It appears that many intact males are unaware of the source of sensation and are shocked by the loss of sensation after circumcision.
# The abundance of skin in the foreskin allows [[gliding action]]. Gliding action facilitates [[masturbation]] and [[vagina| intercourse]]. The shortening of penile skin reduces or eliminates gliding action. The loss of gliding action may cause [[dyspareunia]].
# Painful erections may occur due to lack of sufficient skin to allow for expansion of the penis.
==Warning==
It is quite common for some urologists to push circumcision on any [[foreskinned]] male although conservative treatment would have been sufficient, since there is a nice fee attached to a circumcision [[amputation]]. There are many reports of false statements being made. It is totally unethical and akin to fraud, but it happens frequently.
