→Medical indication
There are no [[medical indication| medical indications]] for circumcision of the newborn. The [[circumcision industry]] offers circumcision of the newborn to the public because of the [[financial incentive]].
The form of circumcision adopted by the medical community essentially was equivalent to the Jewish form with ''[[periah]]'', so it inflicted inflicts the maximum injuryand physical [[trauma]].
In a few cases with older patients, circumcision is legitimately indicated; a patient may be suffering recurring infections[[infection]], and other methods of treatment have failed. In other cases, a patient may be suffering from a severe case of [[phimosis]]. Overall, the actual medical necessity for circumcision is extremely rare since many conditions respond to conservative treatment. All circumcisions injure the patient by amputating the [[foreskin]] its with many protective, immunological, sensory, and sexual [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| functions]].
# '''Deformed or malformed foreskin'''. A foreskin so deformed or malformed that it does not function properly may be removed by circumcision.
