what is the cost of circumcision in canada?

Question

I want somebody to tell me the price in canada about circumcision.

Answer 1

In Canada it's no longer covered by insurance, as in most developed places. The cost is rather high (here in the USA it's over a thousand for adults, since unlike newborns you'll actually put to sleep and medical costs have skyrocketed over the past few years). You'd really have to ask an urologist, though. Costs also vary by office and geographical location (in some sections of the country it's cheaper than others).

Otherwise, if you have a tight foreskin or extra sensitive head that you'd like to fix, you can do that using much cheaper and high successful ways; circumcision isn't needed for that (I went through a tight foreskin and once I stretched it I haven't had a single problem since).

And make sure you research circumcision well before you undergo the surgery. It's one that cannot be reversed.

Answer 2

The practice of medically-unnecessary, non-therapeutic child male circumcision has been declining for decades in Canada. Although many older Canadian males were circumcised decades ago, they are dying off. In the present day, few boys are circumcised.

The French-speaking people generally do not favor circumcision.

Male circumcision is offensive to the culture of Inuit, First Nations, and Métis populations.

The Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) has favored genital integrity (non-circumcision) for children since 1975. The CPS says circumcision should not be routinely performed (meaning that circumcision should only be performed when needed to treat existing disease).

The fourteen health insurance plans stopped paying for non-therapeutic, medically-unnecessary circumcision a decade or more ago. Parents who want a child circumcised must pay out of pocket.

When boys in Canada are circumcised, it is usually because the father is circumcised, not because of medical need. The number of circumcised fathers is gradually declining, so the incidence of circumcision of boys is also declining. Fewer than 1/3 of Canadian boys are circumcised these days.

A survey of mothers carried out nearly a decade ago found that about 31 percent of boys were circumcised.

Since the practice is in a long-term decline, it is likely that the rate of circumcision is even lower today. Foreskinned boys are in the majority in every province and territory.

The rate varied from province to province but in all provinces and territories, non-circumcised foreskinned boys were in the majority. Newfoundland boys are almost never circumcised.

Answer 3

I'm not sure of the costs in Canada, but as Jorge advised it best to speak to a specialist at your local hospital. Jorge has made some good points, including the fact that you should research circumcizion at length before deciding on having it done. Unless you've been strongly advised by a medical professional its unlikely your penis actually requires the operation.
And despite what the previous answerer has said, the guy before him knows a lot more about the topic. Its 2007. Things have changed a lot since the 90s. I highly doubt you could walk into an 'office' and watch your foreskin being cut off.

Answer 4

Call a Urologist! I was done in the late 90's in California and was charged $400usd. It was done in office, so no hospital costs! Just tell the DR that your foreskin is tight when you are erect and I am sure even Canadian insurance will cover it!

Jorge, you are again talking about something you have no clue about! I was done with a local and watched the entire thing! More than a few doctors will do it in office with a local!

Mike H- You are wrong just like our Mexican friend Jorge! Amazing the doctor who circumcised me is still practicing and still doing circumcisions in office! Exactly what country do you live in?

Answer 5

I would make sure you've exhausted all other options before undergoing this. A few months of trying could help a lot, but once you do this, it can't be undone.

Answer 6

I assume you are over 40, if not I would wait on that

Answer 7

I assume you mean for men as the mutalation of women is illegal.
