Circumcision fundamentally began as a religious rite but it is now quite prevalent worldwide . Today people get circumcised for various eclectic reasons such as religious, cultural and medical.
New born baby boys are circumcised ideally within the first week of their birth. Adults also get circumcised, though this is not very common.
