Trauma is defined as physical injury or psychological or emotional damage.[1]
Contents
Physical trauma
Physical trauma is any injury caused by a mechanical or physical agent.[1]
Psychic trauma
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] Psychic trauma produces posttraumatic stress disorder.
Circumcision trauma
Circumcision trauma includes both physical trauma and psychic trauma.
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.[2]
Psychic circumcision trauma
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.
