People are circumcising less due to rising ethical concerns about bodily autonomy, skepticism of medical authority, increasing costs/lack of insurance coverage, changing cultural norms, and a shift in AAP guidance from routine recommendation to parental choice, although medical benefits (like reduced UTIs, STIs, penile cancer) still exist. Factors like increased Hispanic/Black populations (who circumcise less) also influence rates, making it a complex decision balancing health, ethics, cost, and culture, say researchers.

If missed, some suggest around age 7 or older as the next best time when children better understand and tolerate it, while the 2-month to 7-year range is often avoided due to increased pain and anesthesia needs.
