Yes, boys often cry during circumcision, even with anesthesia.
The references provided indicate that crying during circumcision is a common occurrence, even when anesthesia is used. While anesthesia aims to reduce pain, it doesn't always eliminate crying completely.
Here's a breakdown based on the provided references:
- Pain and Crying: According to reference 1, discomfort during the procedure can cause crying, "almost as much crying as the circumcision done without anesthesia."
- Anesthesia Effectiveness: Reference 2 suggests that in approximately 25% of cases, anesthesia doesn't significantly reduce the amount of crying observed during the circumcision.
Therefore, although anesthesia is employed to minimize pain, it is not always effective in preventing crying during circumcision.
