Which age is suitable for circumcision?

Circumcision can be done in infants, boys and adults. It is not an age-specific procedure. But the circumcision procedure in infants takes less time for the whole procedure ( about 10 minutes ) and less healing time ( about 5-7 days ).

There is no chance of the remaining foreskin regrowth with age.
