Patient's question:
I have had phimosis since I was a child. I didn't get it corrected back then because I was too young. Now that I've grown up, it's becoming a problem in my sex life. I want to get it done and I want to know how much it costs to have the foreskin removed at a hospital?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, circumcision is a minor surgical procedure in urological clinical diagnosis. However, it is highly recommended to decide to have the circumcision surgery performed in a formal urological hospital. The cost of the circumcision surgery is generally around 700 yuan, and the expenses for examination and treatment may be less than 2,000 yuan.Before the circumcision surgery, it is important to clean the affected area. Patients with excessive foreskin should retract the foreskin and wash the glans thoroughly to reduce the risk of infection after surgery. The dressing should be changed approximately 3 days after the surgery, and the stitches can be removed around 10-14 days later. After the surgery, the wound must not get wet until the stitches are removed. You can take a bath 2-3 days after the stitches are removed.
Normal sexual activity can only be resumed one month after the surgery.
