For those who's sons are NOT Circ'd...

[meow_173]

Luke is not Circ'd. he's 2 1/2 years old. And he hasn't pulled back the skin on it yet.
I'm just wondering if he should have done this already? I know that i am NOT to pull it back until he does (so says my doc), so i'm just currious as to when he will. I mean he doens't have his hands down his diaper all day, and there is a steady stream of pee every time he pee's so i know theres no medical issue at hand. I guess i'm jsut currious to know when this happens.

sometimes not until puberty hits, but for some boys it happens sooner. It's different for all boys. You're luck as heck to have doc who knows not to pull it back and was able to educate you properly on care. Logan's doc had no idea and pushed it back far, tore the glands slightly and there was a small amount of blood. I was so worried an infection would follow

Oh wow, ok good i'm so glad that my doc was right!

 

[fallon]

yep, I'd say that doc is a keeper for sure

My doc always told me just to leave it alone. Then when they go to school they get a medical check up anyway and have a look at it. At the age of your son it is okay if it still not possible to pull it back.

Doctor in the US are still not very educated on this topic, it's really sad
