No, circumcision is a painful procedure when done with no analgesia. Traditionally, this is how it is done. However, due to studies that have proven it is a painful process, many doctors are beginning to use local anesthetics or nerve blocks to reduce the pain. If you are considering having the process, do your research first. Ask you doctor questions about the risks and benefits, and see if they provide pain prevention.

Is performing circumcision painful?
Yes. The penis has the second greatest concentrations of nerve endings outside of the central nervous system, and it is very sensitive to painful stimuli. Even for infants the pain if circumcision is so intense it can cause dangerous elevations in heart rate and blood pressure. Even if circumcision is performed under anesthesia the site of injury on the penis remains painful or days and even weeks after the surgery. Getting an erection in the days and weeks after circumcision can cause immense pain and can even cause tearing and ripping of the healing tissue. If you also keep in mind that most circumcisions are inflicted on infants without or at best very little anesthetic which involved literally tearing the foreskin away from the glans as they have not separated yet at this stage from the them leaving a very large area of damage. the pain is exacerbated as the wound constantly comes in contact with urine and feces, rubbing salt and acid into the wound so to speak.
