So we noticed a few days ago that some of the skin on Jasper's pee pee was growing back together. I took a pic and sent it to my pedi phone and she said we would look at it today. So today she checked it out and said it was a incomplete circumcision ( so done wrong or not completely cut ) and we *may* have to do a minor surgery to fix it when he is a year. She said its a skin bridge right now but she wants to watch it to see if it works itself out.
I totally almost started crying and I feel super guilty and bad and everything that comes with it.
Anyone have experience with this ? Tia
Re: Incomplete Circumcision
Ugh, no advice---just HUGE hugs! I hated our post circumcision experience.
My husband had his first done in Russia and had to have it "fixed" when he moved to the US and was 6. I think it was an "incomplete". His mom just says that there was something extra. He remembers a) being excited to look like his brother (more than his dad LOL) and b) sitting in a bath afterward to help heal.
Having said that, the pediatric urologist that did L's said that sometimes part of the skin will grow back over the incision site. but that it can be rectified if caught early. And when we brought him in for his post-circ checkup, the doc definitely pulled back some tissue harder than we had been to keep it healing in the right place. Maybe you could take him to a specialist for a second opinion?
Are they concerned for cosmetic or other reasons? I know a few adult males who had incompletes and it doesn't affect them at all, other than giving them little turtlenecks. :P
(I am, of course, taking their word for it, since it merely came up in a circ conversation once, not a bunch of guys whipping it out for comparsion )
