→History
The first recorded medical circumcision of a boy in the United States occurred in 1870 when [[Lewis Albert Sayre]], a prominent New York City doctor, [[circumcised]] a boy of five years of age for paralysis.<ref name="gollaher1994">{{GollaherDL 1994}}</ref>
There were medical doctors advocating circumcision on both the east coast and west coast of the United States at the beginning of the twentieth century.
==Urologists==
American urologists love foreskins and foreskinned males. Urologists get a substantial fee for amputation of a [[foreskin]], so one may expect to get a sales pitch for a circumcision if one visits a urologist for any reason. Your friendly urologist will be happy to do a circumcision for you for any reason or no reason. Make certain that you do your independent research on [[adult circumcision]] and do not depend on statements from your urologist, which may be biased by self-interest. There are plenty of [[regret men]] who did not do their homework.
