Question:
Concerning infant circumcision. Is there any specialist out there who can fix a bad one?
My grandson's circumcision was not done correctly. Instead of taking him to another doctor, my daughter in law brought him back to the same doctor, who chopped off even more. My gradson is now 10 years old and basically has about a 1 inch penis. Can anyone direct me to a doctor that can help him before he reaches puberty. Someone who perhaps specializes in this problem. Thank you
Answers:
It sounds like too much skin was removed, which means that skin pulls back and restricts the size, which reduces his size. Dr. Greene describes it here.

That's one of circumcision many risks.

Unfortunately this is no easy fix (removing is easier than adding). My advice is to take him to a urologist that also specializes in pediatric urology (because chances are that he has seen similar cases before). From there, he/she can describe the options; it may be possible to use surgery to restore his foreskin or add some more skin so that it isn't restricted.
Heck, if that same doctor is still in practice, take him back to him so he knows what he has caused, and see if he can refer you to a good pediatric urologist.
I wish your grandson the best of luck. =)
