Patient's question:
I have suffered from phimosis for many years. Phimosis has also brought many harms to my physical health, often causing inflammation in my lower body. Excessive foreskin easily produces a lot of smegma. Recently, I happen to be on leave, so I plan to go to the hospital for surgery to treat it. Therefore, I would like to inquire about the cost of circumcision.Doctor's answer:
The cost composition of a routine circumcision surgery generally consists of three parts: preoperative thorough examination fees, intraoperative consumables, and postoperative care fees. The preoperative thorough examination items for circumcision surgery include blood tests, urine tests, coagulation tests, electrocardiogram, etc. The preoperative thorough examination fees are usually not high, accounting for no more than 10%-15% of the total surgical cost. The key to a circumcision surgery is the surgical procedure itself. The consumables during the surgery generally include surgical fees, drug consumables, instrument usage fees, anesthetic drug fees, and so on. The proportion of intraoperative consumables is relatively large, accounting for 70%-80% of the overall cost. Of course, the cost of the surgery will also vary depending on the technology used by the hospital.
