Delayed circumcision

Because I was born in Europe, I wasn't circumcised at birth. After having a physical upon my arrival to the U.S., our family doctor recommended having a circumcision for prophylactic and hygienic reasons and referred me to a urologist who performed the operation. Soon, I learned that circumcision was very common in the United States, and doctors customarily recommend it to boys and men who were not previously circumcised.
