[quote=Anonymous]My best friend had to be circumcised when we were around your son’s age. Of course, I don’t remember exactly why as this was about 30 years ago. However, I do remember he constantly had trouble peeing. His foreskin would balloon up as he would pee, and it would take a little longer for all the pee to come out of the opening.

I had it done almost 20 years ago at 17 due to non-stop infections, so my tips might not help, but here they are-- I wore normal briefs (the “tightey-whitey” style) as my normal boxer briefs were too loose. I put some gauze in around my penis for a few days to ensure that the stitches didn’t catch on my underwear and to keep sort of a soft padding too. Have him where he won’t move around too much his first day or two afterwards as too much movement may make it sore. Try to encourage him not to touch it too much for the first few days as well as it can be very sore. I would sit to pee, to make sure I didn’t touch it any more than necessary. I was nervous about cleaning it after the bandages came off, but it was simple like any other time I would clean it in the bath or shower.  And of course, follow any care procedures you are given. It may seem a little traumatic the first day or two, especially how his penis may look when done. But it will get better over time.
