Where to find a hospital which performs circumcision for Muslim babies in Japan?
Written by TASMIA| 2022-09-04| Circumcision in Japan
Circumcision is a procedure that is a recommended practice in Islamic culture. Circumcision is not mentioned in Quran but it is highlighted in the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammad SAW. In SUNNAH, Mohammad SAW stated circumcision was a “law for men”. The preferred age is usually as early as the seventh day after birth.
We like to help the Muslim families in Japan who have difficulties in finding a proper place for circumcision for their children because many people end up going back to their home country or delaying it.
TOKYO MEDICAL AND SURGICAL CLINIC is one of the most famous clinics in Tokyo. For a week up to 3 months, a baby is eligible to go under circumcision procedure in this clinic Unfortunately, national health insurance does not apply. It will cost around 75,000 yen. You must make an appointment by calling the clinic 10-15 days before. If you are unable to visit them, they send you all the related information regarding surgery, the before and after care of the surgery, and everything in detail through email.
The doctor who performs this surgery is DOCTOR THOMAS LOMAX. He is a British doctor and can speak English and Japanese both. Parents are allowed to be in the surgery room. He uses the BELL-CLAMP method for the surgery and a local anesthetic is performed under this surgery which makes the baby feel no pain during surgery. But of course, the baby will cry as their hands and legs will be strapped so that they won't move during the surgery and this uneasiness will make them cry. 1-hour gap is recommended for feeding the baby before the surgery but right after surgery babies can be fed milk. The doctor and nurses are very kind. Doctor Thomas is a very nice doctor and is a specialist in this field. He performs surgery very fast and smoothly and in just 30-40 minutes the surgery gets completed.
I highly recommend if you are expecting a baby boy to be born then for the circumcision procedure must consider this clinic as it is the best. Even after surgery and home care if you need any assistance, they guide you through emails and you can freely visit the clinics and get checked by the nurses freely. But if you want to consult the doctor it requires a fee. Many Muslims go here and there to find a clinic but this clinic in Tokyo is very trusted and many Muslims have considered this clinic for their new baby boys.
