Penis retraction since circumcision

[blush1212]

my son had been severely cut on the bottom base of his penis when he was circumcised as a newborn and now it seems like if his penis has retracted into his body.  I am concerned about his health and if he has been deformed somehow by this occurring.  It took a very long time for his circumcision to heal (about 3 months or more) and the doctor showed some concern but then said that he heale d fine.  Now it seems like if he has no penis at all.  Sometimes I see it when he takes a bath but rarely do I think he has a normal phallic region.  I would say that he probably had more of a penis when he was a newborn.  I am afraid that maybe he will never be normal now.  He is 7 years old and at first I thought I was being paranoid and now I am really afraid for him.  I was told before that it can look retracted if he is overweight so I decided not to worry but now I am really worried about this.  Should I be worried?

If I were you I'd take him to a different doctor to have the circumcision proceedure checked out.  Just in case something went wrong with the op. Hope all goes well.

Hi,
   If he is obese, it is most likely due to that and he will be alright when his puberty sets in. Nevertheless, it is better to get a doctor's confirmation during the next visit to his doctor and most likely, the doctor would advise you to wait till puberty.
