|Text=As a long-time urologist with university education, I am very often concerned with the question of the need for circumcision. For me, it is always negative how negligently the indication for circumcision is handled especially in children.

Circumcision without medical indication should be obsolete. The foreskin is not a meaningless [[flap of skin]], but a [[Foreskin sensitivity| highly sensitive organ]], which should not be removed easily. Urologists should be much more sensitive to this issue than they are at the moment.

Circumcision without [[medical indication]] should be obsolete. The foreskin is not a meaningless [[flap of skin]], but a [[Foreskin sensitivity| highly sensitive organ]], which should not be removed easily. Urologists should be much more sensitive to this issue than they are at the moment.

I also openly criticize the attitude and the procedure of those urologists, who give the impression that there is only an all-or-nothing principle in circumcision. Of course, thrifty circumcisions or plastic surgeries are possible in the case of an operation-requiring tightness and should also be offered in the context of education by all urologists.
