My son did it when he was 4 mths (he is nearly 3 now). The operation did very well and he didnt feel any pain (becoz he was so young). But your son is now 4.5...he may feel and know the pain.
The operation costed us around $30K if I am not wrong..
Hi, if your son does not suffer from inflammation, the doctor does not see any urgent need to do the circumcison. My son had circumcison done last Aug by Dr. Tsang Wai Hung in Tsuen Wan Adventist Hospital. He had suffered from inflammation twice and the doctor explained his situation in details before the operation. I have chosen to have the operation in the summer time so that it will not impact his school life. As the operation requires to use anesthesia, so parents cannot really accompany him during the operation. One parent is allow to accompany him before the nurse give him the anesthesia, but the operation only takes 30 mins. My son felt uncomfotable for the first few days, but the doctor keep monitoring his condition every week, so we were very pleased with him. The cost is around HK18K. If you have hospital insurance, then it should cover everything. However, some insurance company will only pay for this operation if the doctor finds it necessary. So you better check out the details on the insurance coverage.
Many thanks for your advice & sharing !
Yes, I'm going to have the operation in coming summer time so that it will not impact his school life too. Can you tell me how long time for recovering ? Thanks again.
my son did it when he was 7 by Dr 楊重光. It took him about 2 weeks to fully recovered. It will be cheaper if you are referred by General Practice to Dr 楊重光.
