Circumcision is a practice that has existed for over 3,700 years. History indicates that circumcision has been in practice because of the various health benefits involved.
Circumcision is a procedure that can be performed at any age.
There are various reasons for which teenaged boys are circumcised. There are those parents who, when their son was young, decided against circumcision. Now when their son is a teenager, they rethink their opinion and decide that it is, in fact, in their son's best interest that circumcision be performed. In many instances, the boy himself decides that he wishes to be circumcised so as not to be different than the other boys in his social circle. All in all, teenaged circumcision is not an uncommon phenomenon.
