| Text=The official viewpoint of KNMG and other related medical/scientific organisations is that non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors is a violation of children’s rights to autonomy and physical integrity. Contrary to popular belief, circumcision can cause complications – [[bleeding]], [[infection]], urethral stricture and panic attacks are particularly common. KNMG is therefore urging a strong policy of deterrence. KNMG is calling upon doctors to actively and insistently inform parents who are considering the procedure of the absence of medical benefits and the danger of complications.<ref name="knmg2010">{{REFdocument |title=Non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors |url=https://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/knmg-non-therapeutic-circumcision-of-male-minors-27-05-2010.pdf |contribution= |last=Kruseman |first=Arie Nieuwenhuijzen |publisher=Royal Dutch Medical Association |format=PDF |date=2010-05-27 |accessdate=2023-04-26}}</ref>
