Phimosis in infants can lead to infections to the urinary tract, discomfort and/or pain and other related issues.

Phimosis is a medical condition and needs to be addressed as such, with parents/guardians taking well informed decisions backed with medical advice.

Addressing phimosis and other issues regarding the prepuce also does not require circumcision as other procedures can be done to rectify issues.

The removal of the prepuce for non medical reasons is an unnecessary, unjustifiable, unreasonable act, already considered to some degree as genital mutilation, as it has been shown it deprives feeling from the area and thus inhibits the sexual development and enjoyment.
