wikify medical indication
|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.
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.
