What causes sluttering after taking anesthesia for circumcision?
Patient: Hi, My son had an operation this week and was given anesthetic to make him sleep before the operation. (Circumcised) he is three years old and never stuttered in his life before, now he stutters on almost every sentence, is this a result of the anesthetic or operation and will it go? Doctor: Hi,Thanks and welcome to HCM .Anesthesia and circumcision are no way related to stuttering .Intubation may sometimes cause injury to larynx and give rise to problem while speaking temporarily .This will pass off in due course.Hope this answer is clear to you.Further queries invited .Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam.
