Not for religious reasons, but I noticed in the bath that he can't roll the foreskin back. He says it's comfortable now but his dad needed the op for the same reason.

How do I go about arranging this- GP first? Any experience? He's about to start school so not ideal but hey ho.

Hey my son and his DF were the same. GP first, my DS was 7 and was given some cream to try. We were then referred to a consultant who had a look and decided a full circumcision wasn't required and just sort of did a cut to try and release it.
However DS is now 14 and from what he says he probably would have been best having the full circumcision!
I am trying to persuade DS to go back to the docs but he is embarrassed obviously!

Go to GP who will refer if needed. Our GP referred my 3 year year old. We have had appt and now have to wait a year to see if it releases (with help from us - not going well and ever so slightly concerned that this will definitely mean he needs circumcised)
