Dear doctor, My sone is 2years 9 months now. Now a days he is showing discomfort while passing urine. We did a Urine test,culture but results showed normal. Consulted a doctor and he gave antibitoics for 5 days. After few days, again he is now showing the same problem.We consulted a urologist and he suggested to have Circumcision.He said full anaesthesia will be needed since it will difficlult to control kids at this age. We are confused, whether we should make circumcision done at this age. Whether it is fine to wait until he reaches atleast 5 years.Anaesthesia can be done at this early stage? Please advice. (He had Urine infection at age of 5 months. And we did MCU ,Scan etc but it showed normal.)
Hi, From history it seems that he might be having pinpoint foreskin opening causing discomfort while urination. This might lead to some infection on glans due to not cleaning properly. In such case circumcision operation is a must. But as age is the problem, so initially one can do some widening of fore skin opening with forceps by which he will get temporary relief. Afterwards you can go for circumcision operation. Consult urologist and discuss this. Ok and take care.
