If not, they should, because circumcision is EXTREMELY painful.

The problem is that infants are in a great deal of danger when under general anaesthetic and an injected pain block is also terribly pain full so they are usually done with no anesthetic. this also saves he doctor money and make the op less expensive for the idiots that ordered it.

The physician injects local anesthesia at the base of the penis or under the skin around the penis (subcutaneous ring block). Both anesthetics block key nerves. EMLA cream, a topical formula of several anesthetics can also be used
