sorry i havent been online a while. The comment by coalbear_1 IS weird. I would rather wet my bed forever than stick anything in my **** hole. Have you ever considered golf as a hobby? As for the urination pain. It was quite a while ago as I am 41 now so my memory fails me. But I'll never forget the first time I peed afterward. Then I was scared to go after that 1st time. I do remember it getting more comfortable after every time. Its not like I lost my mind when I went It just really burned. It sucked but it passed. Everything will be ok, I cryed a little but it got easier after a few days  I guess I cant exactly remember how long. So sorry. A mothers consolation is amazing for any kid. He'll be in my prayers.

I had this problem and cured it myself.   This might sound weird but I used a sex toy called a sounder.   It's a metal rod that is used to insert in the uthera for sexual pleasur.   They come in many sizes.  I slowly streatched the opening with no pain and after a month everything was fine.  Just a sugestion instead of surgery which in my opinion is used much to often.

Thanks so much for your response,I appreicated it. How long did it hurt to pee? I'm so worried for him. When he was only 12hrs old he had a 6and a half hr operation and then two more afterwards.He was in the hospital until he was 3mths old. I guess I am just remembering that all I wanted was to trade places with him and when he was in pain I couldn't do anything to make it go away.
Your honesty is soo much appreciated!! And yes I will keep u informed.

i had this problem as a kid. I was discovered by bed wetting up till about 11yrs. I had a minor surgury. They widen the hole somehow. im not a doc. Since then everything has been fine. peeing, sex no problem. One thing i have some scar tissue in side or on the very edge of hole (the hole was notically bigger) its cool but sometimes when i go it causes the pee to spray to the sides(sometimes Usually if i havent gone for a while) sometimes I sit, its easier, no mess. One thing. It will be very painfull after surgury when peeing. It should disapate as time passes but it will be tough(just being honest)

Hi,
It seems probably your son is suffering from urethral meatal stenosis. In this disease, there’s a narrowing of the opening of the urethra and this leads to increased force being applied to pass the urine. In the case of boys, a minor outpatient surgery is done known as meatoplasty and everything will be fine.
I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.
