Circumcision

Skai, the doctor in Constantiaberg is Dr De Villiers, his contact details are 021-7617094, he is the specialist in CT (he travels in between CTMedi-Clinic, Kingsbury, Constantiaberg).

Thanks Julz, my paed said that the Urologist will only do the snip if the foreskin is causing urinary issues?

I also read what other men have said about the snip, and that is what is causing me to hesitate.

Jems-how right you are.

Skai- may I ask, who is your OBGYN?

And most men have a prob with premature ejaculation anyways... I kinda think we are helping our son's wife/girlfriends out here a bit.

I was anti but have definitely changed my mind. And it is easy to clean and you don't have to worry about stuff getting stuck under there... And besides all the men in my life - dad, brother, boyfriends, DH etc have always been dehooded so looks wise it looks quite normal to me. Hooded winkies look a bit strange to me sometimes!

If I ever have a baby boy I'll definitely have him circumsized! It decreases the risk to attract HIV and other STIs dramatically and unfortunately this is something to seriously think about since we are living in SA.

If it's done very early in their lives they won't ever know the difference between a Toyota and a Porsche

Ha ha Jems...Yes, that definitely is an interesting job choice.
Thanks for info...will give constantiaberg a call closer to the time.

Congrats Skai!

Yes best to get it over and done with while in hosp.

For the life of me I cannot remember his name. It was such a quick in and out that I really didn't take note and Troy was quite hysterical afterwards. It was the first time I had seen my poor boy so upset so I was so busy calming him down and DH and medical aid handled bills etc.

The doc seemed very nice. I couldn't go with which pissed me off a bit but otherwise he seemed very prof and Troy's little willy has healed very nicely and looks quite normal etc.

Give Constantiaberg a call. He is the only one as far as I know that does it.

I had Troy at Kingsbury and I think he travels to and fro.

Imagine chopping poor little winkies all day long!?

Hi Jems,

Do you remember the name of who you used? I found out yesterday I'm havinga boy and both DH and I want him to be circumcised...preferably when still in hospital. I'll be going to Constantiaberg. Will obviously ask my gynae and midwives etc but still nice to get referal from people with actual experience. Thanks!

Hiya Loll's!
As you know we did Troy when he was about 2 weeks old. Couldn't do him in the hosp as the guys was on holiday...

He was based in Constantiaberg. Maybe give them a call and get number? No anathestic was used for Troy but I am sure it is HUGELY different for older babies.

It cost us about R2500 altogether and lucky for me my maid paid for us - preventative wellness or something....

Who is your paed again? Can't you ask her/him to say it is needed or something?
