child circumcision

Asked for Male, 6 years

Is it necessary to get the child circumcised under General anesthesia and not traditional ring method because he's crossed 3months of age. He's 5months old right now and according to surgeon we visited, said that we can't opt for traditional method because of heavy numbness dosage. Doctors kindly shed some light if I still can opt for traditional method as I'm scared of General anesthesia. also tell me what are side effects of high numbness dosage. Thanku

Dear Patient,

I'm not sure why this surgeon said so. Its best to visit another pediatric surgeon. You can visit one in aga khan if possible. They do perform circumcision of older kids in local anesthesia. If the child is excessively hyper or the case is unique they can share their expert advice with you.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Karachi and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/karachi/child-specialist
