Hi guys,
I have just discovered that my 9 year old sons foreskin cannot be pulled back yet. I have read a lot on this and other sites about circumcision, dorsal slit etc. I took him to the doc and she has given me anti biotics in case there is infection. He has to go back on Monday. The doc managed to pull it back, with a little force.. (which I am not pleased about as I read that shouldn't be done)...but anyway, it only went back enough to just see the tip of his glans underneath.
I have read that some boys foreskins may not go back until they are older, maybe 14-18 sometimes, so what do you guys think.....should I leave it longer , a few years maybe, and see if maybe he is just developing a little late??
Are there any men here who know of friends, whose foreskin didn't go back until they were older than my son?
All comments welcome and thanks in advance.
