In the United States, circumcision is commonly performed shortly after the birth of a baby boy, usually during the first few days of life. When the gender is known during pregnancy, the operation is usually performed before the baby leaves the hospital.
Cultural and Religious Reasons: The USA is a culturally diverse country, home to various ethnic groups such as Jewish, Muslim, and South Korean communities, where circumcision is often performed for religious reasons. Additionally, circumcision is widely regarded as a standard procedure in many hospitals, with parents opting for it for cultural, religious purposes.
People are increasingly aware of the importance of health and hygiene, which often leads them to consider circumcision surgery. Historically, circumcision was a common practice in American healthcare, particularly in the mid-20th century, as it was advocated for improving hygiene, preventing infections, and addressing social stigma.
In some situations, the pediatrician’s suggestion may impact the decision, as circumcision is thought to provide possible health benefits such as lowering the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
