Unfortunately NHs will only do if is medically necessary or emergency. I'm due in Jan and I'm not sure yet what we are having but I know for fact that if it will be a boy we'll have to find private surgery for that
There’s a doctor in Glasgow who performs circumcision procedures privately. He was excellent with our son who was 6 weeks old at the time. Healed up within ten days - definitely look him up - Circumcision Clinic Glasgow Dr Anwar Khan
NHS Scotland performed my sons circumcision for religious and cultural reasons! We had it done a couple of months ago , it's usually done after 6 months of age, we were on a waiting list for a long time but it was done eventually, this was in NHS Grampian! Not sure about other areas
Thanks all, will do some more research and ask around... I am based in Highlands so no sure what they do here. 😊 x
I think you need to go private as NHS will only do it if medically necessary. I would encourage you to wait as long as you can if religion allows as it’s not a very nice procedure for a baby to have unless they really have to(no judgement here!) xx
I was gonna say same as Anan. We did it for cultural reasons and they will only do it when the child is 6 months plus. And this was Aberdeen. You can be put on a waiting list if he’s not 6 month yet. Worth a go.
The children’s hospital have released a leaflet on Twitter stating they do it for religious and medical reasons may be worth speaking to medical professionals
@Kirsten Is this the Plastibell procedure you’re talking about? Xx
@Teri yeah it is
I’m pretty sure NHS only do it if it’s medically necessary. You will have to go private. No idea on the age
