Patient's question:
From a young age, I had phimosis, but I felt too embarrassed to talk to my parents. Also, my family didn't have the financial means. Now that I've grown up and have the means, I'd like to get it done. Can the medical insurance card be used as a prepayment for the circumcision surgery?Doctor's answer:
This also determines the level of hospital you will go to. Circumcision surgery may not be covered by medical insurance. It is recommended that you first consult the local medical insurance center. Circumcision can be relatively inexpensive. Circumcision refers to the surgical removal of excess foreskin from the penis so that the glans is exposed. It is an effective treatment for phimosis, excessive foreskin, and prevention of its complications. It is a minor surgical procedure that generally does not require hospitalization and has a low risk of complications. It is an outpatient surgical procedure. The purpose of the surgery is to completely expose the glans of the penis so that there will be no hidden areas that could lead to infection.
