3 Tips To Make Circumcision Less Worrisome

Circumcision is an elective surgery that your child can undergo. Not like other emergency surgeries done to patients, elective surgery is something that’s not needed to be done immediately rather, you’re given with a schedule on when the procedure will take place. This will give you enough time to prepare your kiddo for their upcoming surgery but for your kids, this only makes them more anxious about it.

Well the good thing is that, there are few steps that you may do for your child to feel less anxious and more comfortable of the procedure. Providing them valuable information about the treatment and trying to explain it in a way that their minds will grasp is the key to help them prepare for the circumcision.

Following are tips to do it.

Tip number 1. Explain what the procedure is for and to how it is performed – the main reason why children are scared of this medical procedure is that, they don’t any idea on what’s going to happen. The best way you can do to help your child feel better is to talk them the procedure, explain what is going to happen and let them question you.

There’s a chance that they will be more concerned about the pain and as a result, it is vitally important to ensure them that they won’t feel a single pain since they’ll be asleep or numbed while the circumcision is carried out.

Tip number 2. Tell them that you’ll be beside them the whole time – kids are scared to be alone, what more if they’re left in unfamiliar places having to undergo a procedure. This is the reason why it is vitally important to reassure them that you’ll be with them the whole time when the circumcision is being done.

After all, most hospitals allow parents stay with their kids all time so this wouldn’t be a problem.

Tip number 3. Give your kid something to look forward – in an effort to make the concept of getting a circumcision more appealing, give something that your kid will look forward to once the surgery is done. This is just anything similar to family vacation, a trip to local theme park, a toy they want for long or anything that you know will motivate them. Remember that it doesn’t matter what you are going to give them, what matters most is that you have something they look forward to.

Your child will be able to be prepared for the procedure as you follow these tips.
