CIRCUMCISION – EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE
Circumcision just before or during puberty may produce considerable emotional disturbance.
Some psychiatrists talk of the psychological shock to the infant circumcised without anaesthetic but this is difficult to prove.
Your doctor is not being irresponsible if he carries out your request to circumcise your son. Many doctors still consider this a necessary procedure. Others have no strong feeling either way and will agree to operate if the parents wish, but will not recommend it. Others are strongly opposed to circumcision and will not accede to the parents’ wishes. As in other areas of medicine, there are different views on what is correct treatment.
If circumcision has been the habit in your family, discuss with your doctor whether you should go ahead and have your son circumcised. You have the right to request it but your doctor also has the right to refuse if he does not think it necessary.
