11yo DS has a very tight foreskin which has never retracted and has been referred to a urologist, with circumcision of course being mentioned as a solution, though the doc did say something about 'surgical stretching' as a first step. At the moment DS has some steroid cream which is supposed to stretch the skin a bit, but GP didn't seem particularly hopeful that this would work.
Just wondering what other people's experiences have been - have you managed to avoid circumcision in a case like this? And did you have to have a fight with healthcare peeps not to immediately send your DS straight for the chop? Really don't want to if it's not 100% essential.
