Foreskin growing together Posted: 01-21-08 13:22pm
Has anyone ever noticed their son's
foreskin growing together? I was changing
Chandler a little while ago, and I noticed
that his is almost completely grown
together. He only has a small area left to
pee out of. I am calling my doctor today
to make an appointment, but was wondering
if anyone else has had this happen to
their infant.
Hmm I had my son circumsized the day he
was born and he will be two weeks this
weds, his penis looks fine now, not red
anymore. Never seen what your describing
though, sorry. I hope all is fine!

Thanks, I looked online, some say its
normal, others say its not. So, I am going
to take him in to the doctor and see. In
Canada, well Nova Scotia, they do not do
circumsion anymore. So, unless your child
has problems then they wont do anything or
you can pay 1080 dollars to get it done.
Pretty sad.

YIKES!!!
I'm in Canada and we only had to pay $200.
I have not heard of the foreskin growing
together, but I suppose it could happen.
We had a problem with DS circ being
"loose" which caused the head of his penis
to kind of hide...so it almost appears to
be uncircumsized.
The only advice I can give is to NOT
retract the foreskin at all.
I think your doing the right thing taking
him to the DR.

I did take him to the doctor and she gave
us a steroid cream. It has opened it back
up, and is continuing to do so. Apparently
it is very common.
Did you have your littl guy circumsized
right after birth? If you do not put the
order in right away to have it done before
they are 2 wks old you have to wait till
they are 6 mths and then you pay the $1080
for it. Nuts as far as I am concerned.

That is outrageous to have to pay that
kind of money, $1,080 for a circumcision.
I thought Canada had national health
care.
It seems people are no longer treated with
any regard to giving this real
consideration. Decide right now or you
are out of luck and you will be penalized.
Nuts as mayhi said.

We decided to get it done at birth so it
was done before we left the hospital.

I do think all boys should be
automatically circumcised. It would
prevent lot problems later in life.

I agree. It is such a pain because its all
grown together again and he now has HUGE
calcium deposits under the skin and along
the sides of his penis that I cannot get
to, to clean out. I am praying that he
does not get an infection.
