[Yunus]

Good reasons not to circumcise :
- Infection and sometimes death
- Haemorrhage and sometimes death
- Pain / shock, and sometimes death
- Meth[a]emoglobin[a]emia, brain damage and possibly death, if EMLA cream is used to anaesthetise a newborn
- Necrotising fasciitis ("galloping gangrene")
- Damage (scarring, pitting) to the glans or shaft. In the case of Dustin Evans Jr, the scarring caused a urethral stricture (narrowing of the urinary tube), and it was during an operation to relieve this that he died.
- Urethral fissure/fistula
- Scaphoid megalourethra
- "Trapped/buried penis"
- Occlusion of penile venous system
- Urinary Tract Infection
- Meatitis
- Meatal ulcer
- Meatal stenosis
- Multiple pyogenic [caused by pus] granuloma - a series of papillomatous [brushlike] growths around the circumcision wound
- Eczema of the glans and meatus
- Oedema of local tissue
- Loss of sensitivity / impotence
- *Reduced volume of penis
- May shorten the penis:
"Circumcised men had shorter erect penises than uncircumcised men (p<0.05)." - Richters J, Gerofi J, Donovan B. Are condoms the right size(s)? a method for self-measurement of the erect penis. Venereology 1995; 8(2): 77-81.
- Painful erections
- Wound re-opening (in adulthood)
- Chafing from underwear
- "Other circumcised men complain of life-long irritation of the exposed glans as it comes in contact with clothing during normal activity." - "Sensitivity is the Rising Issue on Circumcision" by Dr. Sandra Pertot, "Australian Doctor" 25 November 1994
- Production of ugly scar tissue, skin-bridges, skin-tags, malapposition (rejoining on the twist) and/or suture holes
- Breach of bodily integrity
- Breach of human rights
- Breach of property rights
- Psychological trauma, resulting in eg. elective muteness
- Because he had had enough of a struggle just to be born, and deserved no more pain
- Loss of an organ for stimulating the partner and retaining semen in the vagina after ejaculation
- Greater need to use lubricant for masturbation or intercourse
- Loss of an organ for play, docking, etc.
- Loss of skin for plastic surgery of hypospadias
- Loss of skin for plastic surgery to eyelids
- Loss of protection against frostbite.
- Because the foreskin evolved over tens of millions of years and every male mammal has one. / Because God knew what S/He was doing when S/He put it there. / Because Nature knows best.
- Because it aint broke: don't fix it
- Because he will almost always be glad you didn't
- Cost (That's why Elvis was intact.)
