Will has a wonky wiener. We might need to chat soon. He's tethered/webbed. Getting through heart surgery first then looking into a urology consult. I might need you to hold my hand.
I'm good at hand-holding! PM any time. I will try to actually check them. :-)
Awesome! Thanks! I will admit that after they said he was too small to circumcise I went home and googled micropenis. Luckily that's not his issue - it's just the attachment on the underside. I have looked at way too many pictures of baby penises lately.
@babycaps hydroceles are pretty unpredictable! In adults they tend not to go away on their own. When babies are born with them they DO tend to go away in a few months to a year....but not always. So......within a few months ot maybe not at all is the only real answer, unfortunately! Happily they are totally benign and not associated with anything bad (people often ask whether there's an increased risk of cancer. There isn't). If they need to be fixed it's a pretty straightforward procedure and one I'm reasonably familiar with as I see them regularly pre and post op. (Though in adults)
@babylimas honestly I am not super up on webbed penises. I know what they are, and that they're considered benign, and it's supposed to be an "easy," primarily cosmetic fix. I haven't had any experience with the surgery for them. I have seen a number of unrepaired ones in adults. Often the milder ones are left. The degree is obviously important in whether repair is needed! But LIS I can be a pretty good medical interpreter and hand-holder if needed so I will be sure to get off mobile and check those PMs. :-)
@babycaps and @pepperedmoth... Very glad I opened this thread... Charlie had a hydrocele at birth, too, so I'm grateful for that information. Our pedi said not to worry, but it's nice to hear it again. Thanks!
And it's good to hear from you, @babylimas. I miss you guys!

I've always been so good at making the boards a priority, but I've been falling behind lately. I need to get back on my game! I miss you guys too!
Re: Penis Expert! Aka @peppermoth
Thanks. I obviously proofread my posts.
