I had the same problem last year and had a successful operation carried out by a Dr Wittaya who has a clinic in Petchaburi and operated at the Petcharat Hospital also in Petchaburi. I cannot recommend this doctor high enough, thoroughly recommend. The cost of the operation was just under 90,000 Baht.

Location of the clinic of Dr. Wittaya +66 89 775 9121

Thanks very much Dannie Boy

Did you end up visiting Dr Wittaya and if so, what was the outcome?

Hi Dannie , I’ve been waiting to find out if my insurance will pay out . I think I will try him out . Just one thing . What kind of anesthestic do they use . Spinal block , local or general ? . Got a feeling I’ll have to pay myself though .

I think it’s based on a number of factors - including age and general health, but I had a spinal block - believe me, you won’t feel a thing!! I can remember the anaesthetist asking me “can you move your legs”? I thought, move them, I can’t even feel them!!

After the operation, did you have to remain lying still, on your back, for 2 hrs.?

I assume you’ve never had a spinal block anesthetic? I don’t know if it was “compulsory” for me to lie on my back for 2 hours, but it was that or longer before I started to get any feeling back - from above the waist down I was completely numb, so I couldn’t move myself and the nursing staff definitely kept me on my back. I can only liken it, but in a much bigger way, to having a local anesthetic for a tooth extraction where your mouth goes number for an hour or more, before you begin to get any feeling back.

I’d be more than happy to have the same procedure again if required (but hopefully not).

I've had one, and what a weird sensation. The funniest part was knowing that I needed to pee, but when I took hold, it was like holding somebody else's (not that I'd know what it was like to hold somebody else's ).

Seriously, I had some crazy side effects as the anaesthetic wore off. I was so hot, the nurse had to give me a blanket bath to cool me down. I had to stay overnight in the hospital.

The lengths some people will go to to get a blanket bath

A spinal block used to be a common procedure for women giving birth. Some had serious complications from it.
