One [[Circumcision]] is amputative surgery, so there is always risk of bleeding and hemorrhage from circumcision. The vast majority of circumcisions performed in the most common complications United States are medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic circumcisions performed on newborn infants in which there is no medical indication or disease of circumcision is excessive bleedingany kind present. Newborn infants, which weigh only a few pounds have very little blood in their tiny bodies. Loss of only a slight amount of blood can and does cause exsangination and ''hypovolemic shock''. Losing over 2.4 ounces of blood may cause death.
On August 27th of 2012 the The [[American Academy of Pediatricians Pediatrics]] (AAP) presented a new Policy Statement issued its last position statement on Circumcision and Technical Report stating that "the benefits outweigh the risks", yet when it comes to severe complications like the ones presented here, the technical report states that "Financial costs of care, emotional tolls, or the need for future corrective surgery (with the attendant anesthetic risks, family stress, and expense) are unknown"male circumcision in 2012.
