I'm 18 can I get circumcised?

Answer 1

Circumcision can be performed at any age, although few men choose to be circumcised due to the painful recovery.

Circumcision has no known medical benefit, and no major medical body recommends routine circumcision. Circumcision generally should not be performed unless there is a medical reason making it necessary. Circumcision has risks of adverse events including pain, prolonged bleeding, infection, complications of sedation or anesthesia, and surgical error resulting in damage to the penis.

The vast majority of men in the world are uncircumcised, but circumcision is practiced in some religious groups such as Judaism and in some sects of Islam. Circumcision was once common in the United States. During the 1970s and 1980, around 80% of male infants were circumcised in the United States. A study conducted in the United States from 2006-2008 found that circumcision rates had fallen to below 40% in most of the United States. In the western United States, fewer than 25% of infant males were circumcised in 2006-2008.
