mal129 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 My newborn son was born at a government hospital and they do not perform circumcisions. The hospital directed us to one of their pediatricians, but he said he only does the operation if it is medically necessary. Have any of you, or anyone your know had a circumcision performed in Thailand? Experiences and cost? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophers200 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The paediatrian was correct this operation should never be undertaken unless medically necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 There are differing opinions on this. Many ethnic groups and religious groups do it routinely without ill effect. In any case as prior Mod said this thread is for orividing info on drs and costs not debating oros and cons of the procedure.OP you can certainly get this done at Bumrungrad as they cater to large number of Middleasterners. I can't recommend a soecific doctor though. Call or email them.Sent from my SM-J701F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal129 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 UPDATE: I shopped around and found Bangkok Hospital Pattaya to be the winner. Other private hospitals quoted me B25,000, B32,000 and B75,000. A simple outpatient procedure was only B12,500 at Bangkok Hospital. The service was excellent and I am very satisfied.

I just hope your son doesn't grow up to loathe you for unnecessarily mutilating his genitals, depriving him of sensitivity. On the plus side, there are foreskin regeneration techniques that he may want to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thank the Lord that my parents had me circumcised, as my wife and I did for our Son. And if it has in some way reduced sensitivity in me, well, sometimes, that is no bad thing.

richard_smith237 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 After my Son was born my Thai Brother in Law asked if we were going to have my Son circumsised - until then it wasn't something I'd thought of. I always assumed it was something we wouldn't do. My Wife assumed it was something we would do. We'd never discussed it. Our pediatrician asked if we wanted the procedure.... We realized I didn't want to do it because I didn't consider it necessary. My Wife thought we may have our son circumsised because thats the norm here, her friends son's are circumcised. We discussed and couldn't come up with a reason why it may be necessary, his Pediatrician said there is no medical reason for circumcision, so we just decided against it and didn't think any more of the issue. At Bumuringrad I think we would have had to pay for the procedure - I never assumed it would have been part of the 'birth process'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circumcision seems to be the norm here, at least amongst my Wife's family and friends (central Bangkok)... this 'norm' may be different in different areas of Thailand, I have no idea, its not a topic I've discussed with my Thai mates.

(Typo on Bumrungrad hospital) I just googled it, just out of interest. I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_circumcision Thailand is in the <20% group and that is the lowest group. So it seems not that usual all over Thailand. But yes, I understand that there might be big differences with different groups and regions in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
