    Circumcision generally costs 1,000-5,000 yuan. The specific cost may be related to local economic level, surgical method, anesthesia type, postoperative care and other factors.

    The cost of traditional circumcision in public hospitals in first-tier cities is usually 1,000-2,000 yuan, and if you choose laser or stapler surgery, it may be 2,000-3,500 yuan. The cost of similar surgeries in second-tier cities can be reduced by 10%-20%. Traditional surgeries cost about 800-1800 yuan, and new surgeries cost about 1800-3000 yuan. Traditional surgery in third-tier cities costs about 600-1,500 yuan, and in some primary medical institutions the price drops to 500-1,000 yuan. General anesthesia is 500-1,000 yuan more expensive than local anesthesia. Anti-inflammatory drugs and dressing changes are required after surgery, and the drug cost is about 200-500 yuan. If bleeding or infection occurs during the recovery period and requires follow-up consultation, the treatment fee may increase by 200-800 yuan. The preoperative examination, including blood routine and coagulation function testing, costs about 100-300 yuan. Postoperative suture removal or dressing change requires a total of 3-4 times, each time costing 50-100 yuan. The recovery period for different surgical procedures is 7-30 days. The recovery period for stapler surgery is faster, about 7-15 days, while traditional suturing takes 15-30 days. Summer surgeries require more attention to wound care and may increase the use of disinfectants and dressings.

    It is recommended to choose a regular medical institution for surgery, keep the wound clean and dry after surgery, and wear loose cotton underwear to avoid friction. Within 1 month after surgery, strenuous exercise and sexual life are prohibited. Disinfect with iodophor 1-2 times a day and take antibiotics on time. If the wound is red, swollen, exuding, has a fever exceeding 38°C, or has persistent pain, a timely review is required. Eat a light diet, consume more high-quality protein and vitamin C to promote healing, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
