Our 3 month old baby was circumcised right after he was born, and all appeared to go smoothly at first. We are concerned because for about the last month, his penis has not come out from the surrounding skin. The first couple of months he had erections, but not recently. Is this a problem?

Hi, its been awhile since your post but if you havnt gotten any answers.. here goes!
My son had this problem and what happened in his case is that the raw skin after the circ grew and attatched over most of the head of his penis. It had to be surgically recut due to the scar tissue and possible bleeding.
Id have his Dr address your concerns about this asap. If they need to perform another circumcision its best to do it while hes as young as possible.
Good luck!!
For any future children, the problem could easily be avoided by not circumcising. It is an unnecessary and harmful procedure. There is NO major medical association in the world (The AAP included) that supports routine infant circumcision. Please do the research.
