Circumcision due to pain
My son is 8 years old and he has had pain after peeing for 3 days. The doctor advised me to go for circumcision and it's a one day procedure only.
I am worried about how my son will cooperate for this and how I will explain to him the procedure.
Please suggest which type of circumcision is safe for him and also when he goes back to normal from pain? And sedation will be given through IV?

Hello,
I understand your concern.
Circumcision is a straight forward daycare procedure.
It’s requires IV general anaesthesia.
He will be given IV pain killers during and after the procedure.
Usually at home, he may need pain killers for next 2-3 days.
The wound generally heals within a week.
Since he is 8 years old, it would be beneficial if you explain to him about the procedure to prepare him.
