A member asked:
Can you tell me the risks involved with a 4 year old circumcision and does the child need to be sedated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: Circumcision is a painful procedure that is likely to require deep sedation or general anesthesia in both small kids or adults. However, you need to discuss the risks/benefits/alternatives with your surgeon/ md who will perform the surgery.
