Hi,

If we need to do circumcision at a Govt hospital for baby boy 8months, after some UTI infection, fever, etc. caused by lack of circumcision, as per specialist advice. How will that work ? How soon can get appointment/operation in Govt hospital these days of covid? In KL. UMMC/HKL ? Any recommendations..
THanks.

What do you mean by lack of circumcision?

Edit: I look it up so no need to explain.

As far as I know, the date depend on the severity of the case. If not critical, the date would be much later on. You have to go to the hospital first to see a doctor, then will they refer you to the specialist.

I don’t think circumcision is the key here. Must be bad hygiene that cause the infection.

Go consult a pediatrician at UMMC. As above poster mentioned, depends on severity. Can be within the week itself if very urgent.
There are children born with it, hygiene cannot fix it. The procedure is very quick and simple.

Really appreciate everyone's quick advice. I got the idea now, so it's win-win in both cases, if critical, they'll schedule fast, if not critical, they'll prolong (which is not a risk for baby anyways, if they diagnose so).

Thanks !!

Btw, actually the problem was, baby was treated for fever/infection at the private hospital using insurance, where the specialist recommended this operation. But, insurance (AIA) said they don't cover circumcision (unless it's for medical reasons) and rejected specialist claim citing it's not medical reason for circumcision and can be treated with other means.
