Bad Circumsission???????

My son is now 3 years old and it appears his foreskin (which is long) appears attached to the head on the ridge. I have brought him to 2 doctors who say its fine but every one of my friends that have had this done there childrens' skin goes back all the way leaving the head out completly no skin attached. I dont want to take any chances with "skin bridges".

The outcome of a circumcision depends on the skill of the surgeon, doctor who does the procedure. The outcome is also  different from person to person.

In todays time and age there really is no need for circumcision unless there is a medical need for doing so. It now would be best to leave things as they are. Further surgery can be done at a later age should it be required.

All the best

Hello,
It can be due to adhesions formation or frenulum breve. Frenulum breve (or a short frenulum) is the condition in which the frenulum, which is an elastic band of tissue under the glans penis that connects to the foreskin and helps contract the foreskin over the glans, is short and restricts the movement of the prepuce.

Treatment is by frenuloplasty, or by complete circumcision including removal of the frenulum (frenectomy).

I hope that helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
