10 YEAR OLD BOY SUFFERING WITH PENIS THAT FREQUENTLY RETRACTS INWARD
Hello. I have a 10 year old boy who for the last 2 years has complained of his penis retracting inward. I have seen it happen. He is circumcised. Every day, multiple times a day, he has to push on the area just above his pubic bone for relief. Yesterday he broke down crying, saying that this is ruining his life and no one seems to care. I have taken him to a pediatric urologist who said everything looked normal and that his penis was fine. The DR said it could be that my son has a little extra belly fat that could be causing the problem. My son is maybe 5lbs overweight. There are many kids who are much fatter who don't have this problem. It gets much worse whenever he is under any stress or performing in front of people. I promised him that I wouldn't stop until I found him help. PLEASE HELP!
Take him to a different pediatric urologist, and have the urologist talk to your son without you there. (You can brief him beforehand about what is happening.) The urologist should be able to get through to your son, or your son should be able to explain to the urologist that this is painful.
