Hi all, I have a little boys who's 3 years old who's had a few infections on his penis. I noticed when he was urinating that his penis was blowing up like a ballon and then releasing his urine. Last time we went to the GP I showed him a video of what it looked like and he was referred to urology. We had 1 appointment I explained how it ballooned up when urinating, he had a look and said he has quite sever phimosis and that he should be able to pull his foreskin back slightly to even just see the tip but you cant at all. He said he needs full circumcision and it is booked in for this month.
Is this a bit drastic? Does he need the surgery so soon? I am very anxious about this and would rather him not but obviously if really needs then thats fine, but I have read that sometimes this can be normal in toddler age.
Anyone help or advice please?
