We have testimonies from women partners of circumcised men who repeatedly experience sexual health problems: urinary tract infection, dyspareunia (pain during intercourse), gynaecological infections, use of lubricant to prevent vaginal bleeding.

Perhaps it is easy to gather statistics on this type of pathology by making a comparison between countries with high or low rates of circumcision (USA and Finland for example). This task could be entrusted to the coalition's "health" scientific committee. If it turns out that these pathologies are more frequent among the partners of circumcised men, we would have a major argument on the register of "risks / consequences / complications" to be taken into account by the WHO in its VMMC campaign for example (or the AAP). This public health issue should be included on consent forms in countries that have them (as in Australasia).

Here is a good summary page - with published references - that supports what you're saying J-C.
