Circumstanzes surgery 18 months baby
Hi doctor,
Our pediatrician suggested us to take our baby for circumcision due to his hole is small. Am very confused about it. Is it safe for 18months baby. Will they give anesthesia for baby. Please advise. Any side effects will he get? What are the complications? Or can we postpone it after 3 years

Hello
Phimosis - it's condition in which opening is small, hence skin can't be retracted so it can cause some infection also
Consult the pediatric surgeon - and follow the advice
Take care
