phimosis & surgery

[FallsEch]

my 12 yo was seen by urology surgons today after months of back to back uti infections and pain. they have said then next option is surgery after cream and stretches havnt worked. i found a few threads but all are old and wondered if anyone else has been through this in recent months? is there any alterntiviy to the surgery
thank you in advance x

Our 9-year-old had his circumcision done about 18 months ago. He was in a fair bit of pain for about 2 weeks and another 2-4 weeks of being very sensitive. He had surgery over the summer, so he managed to avoid wearing his undies for 2 weeks and another 2 weeks of wearing them now and then. It's a very sensitive surgery and takes weeks if not months for the willy to get used to the new normal. He was sensitive now and then for about 2-3 months afterwards. Surgery-wise, it's okay, takes about an hour. Sunny's surgery happened just after the summer holidays started, so he was okay to roam around the house bottomless. In the last 18 months, he has had 1 UTI, when, before surgery, he had 6 in 6 months. Hope all goes well

Thank you! I have been looking at all the options, but we don't think there is any but surgery! Just on a waiting list now to find out when it might be

Our 10 year old had it last year. Been flying ever since. Was sensitive for about a month after
