Are there any mom's on here who had to get their boys circumcised due to medical reasons?

I need some advice.

Not a mom but I was circumcised at about 5 years old for medical reasons.

@hippyjoe1955 Do you still remember anything?

Of course I was put under a general back then and I remember not feeling well from the anesthetic. It hurt to walk after and I noticed things had changed down there. My Mom felt so bad when I pointed out the changes.

@hippyjoe1955 My son feels so emotional about the changes,he cried alot questioning me. I feel horrible but I had no choice.

@WildHeart Yeah he'll get over it. lol I did. It is a bit of a shock to find part of your penis missing and very sore.

@hippyjoe1955 Was your son a full circumcision or like me just have some of the foreskin removed? I call it semi circumcised.

@hippyjoe1955 Okay there are two types? 😨
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@WildHeart Yes. It is possible to have the entire foreskin removed or simply trim the foreskin back so that it can be pulled back to clean underneath it. Mine was the latter. However when it was done it looked like a full circumcision but later the foreskin covered most of the head.

@hippyjoe1955 i just worked on pulling it back, eventually it wasnt so tight anymore lol

@xSharp Yeah we were able to do that with our sons as well. Mine was just too long and too tight. I think that is what frightened me most when it was done. I could see things I had never seen before.

@WildHeart I think a lot of Mom's fears were related to how I would fit in socially with a 'modified' penis. As it turned out about 1/2 the boys were circumcised and the other half were not. No one thought anything about it when we were in the communal shower following gym class.
