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

I need some advice.

My son had to have it done when he was about 7 for medical reasons. In the U.K. it is not such a regular thing for a boy to have done so it was a big decision. He would've had problems if it had been left so we had very little choice in the end. When he came round from the anaesthetic I felt so bad, almost as if my son had been butchered. He is now 28 and we have had frank conversations about it on several occasions through his life. He has completely reassured me that it has never been an issue for him, it has never bothered him and he doesn't remember it being as traumatic for him as it probably was for me. I hope this helps.
