How I promessed to keep updated my personal experience with my 4 years old son. I will try to describe here what had happened since his surgery.
Once he woke up the pain was bad. They have to sleep him a little bit longer. When he woke up again he was fine for a couple of hours but later the pain came back. That terrible pain holded for a couple of days. During that time he was mostly laying on the sofa and didn't want to move.
On the third day he began playing almost normal again but still walking like you do when you came down from a horse after long horse riding.
About the foreskin retraction (adviced by the doctor twice per day during the first to weeks), It was hell on earth during the first 5 days. How the penis is so sollowed its was very dificult to see how much you retract.
If you are a parent who want to get the procedure must understand this is real tortur for your son and you must be cold as ice for doing it. My son bleeded a couple of times but not profusedly, I stoped when he started bleeding to much.
For urinating it was painful too. My son tryed to avoid going to the toilet what makes it get worse because the urine get strong (dirty). I tryed to put some local anesteshy cream before he pee.
On the 6 day there were no more pain urinating and neither retracting the foreskin and my boy was again playing and acting normal. For five days I was singing victory until it arrived the day 11th. On that moment the penis looks almost normal (just a bit sollowed) so I could really take a good look to the back of his penis, then I discovered that I haven't retract the foreskin well on the back. When I tryed to rectracted he started again with the agony screaming and crying.
Today (two weeks after the surgery) I went to control with the doctor because the awful pain continue during the four last days.
He checked him and told me that unluckily one side of his penis are fasted again. Almost all was lose except from that little part on the right side.
He told me that there is a chance It'll get lose but I have to still doing the retraction (tortur) twice per day during the hole next moth and If it's not lose we will have to put him under anesthesy again to lose it. I was very sad because I promesed him it was not going to be anymore necesary to do it twice per day but just twice per week.
My adviced for anyone who have to retract the foreskin check that you do it well all around, no mather If you can't see well how much you retract, just retract it from each side possible.
Check up and under the penis, try to change hands because I always used my right hand and I wonder If that was part of the problem that got lose from only one side.
Finaly If you are going to do it for your son It's better that someone strong (phisically and emotionally) retract the foreskin, that person must sit down on your son legs while another person hold your son hands and arms up and then start the retraction... do it on all the possible ways that will take around 3 to 5 minutes. I repeat... It's tortur, he will cry in agony. Again think twice before making your choise.
Good luck with the procedure for each one of you from the bottom of my hearth.
