Aposthia Mothers.
Answered 4 years ago
My son (2 years old) was born with aposthia (bien without foreskin). He looks as if he was circumcised big still has the foreskin features. It looks like it’s been retracted. I am now due for my baby boy in December. Should I circumcise my new born or leave him intact?
Have an answer?

Unless medically necessary leave him as he is. I find it so cruel, but just my opinion.

Absolutely leave him intact, he can choose what he wants to do when he is older. Which I am sure he will be to just leave it as it is. My husband is circumcised, but our sons are not. I've experienced both and but it's so long ago I'm just used to his circumcised one in terms of sex and intimacy. My husband wishes he had been given the choice to stay intact as he was circumcised as a young boy.

If the boys notice they're different then explain that your eldest was born with aposthia which is why his penis looks like that, and your youngest wasn't which is why his penis looks like that. If you had a child with alopecia you wouldn't shave the other one's head 🤷♀️ Children are different, medical situations are different, and that's ok!

What are your reasons for circumcising him? Is there an added health risk? Speak to your doctor if you’re concerned about anything and get all the correct medical information. On here you will just get a whole lot of uneducated opinions.

Op here. My husband is uncircumcised but we don’t want the boys to think they’re different. We’re both against circumcision but I’m trying to think what would be best for them

That’s understandable not wanting them to think they’re different but imagine your younger son needed to be done for medical reasons. Would you get your older son done too so he doesn’t feel different? I’m against circumcising except for medical reasons so my opinion is going to be biased in this. At the end of the day, it’s your’s and your husband’s choice.
I will add that kids really don’t notice much and if they do then most of the time aren’t going to be dissatisfied with an age appropriate explanation. That’s just my experience though. I can understand why you wouldn’t want your son to feel left out, so to speak, but you have some time to make the right choice here for your children.

OP, that's a learning point for your kids - that everyone is different and that's what's beautiful about life. Its something to be celebrated ❤

First I have heard of this. Just done a little bit of research lol. I’m like you, my hubby is uncut and so is my son but we wouldn’t get him circumcised as we’re both against it.
Have a talk to your hubby and see what’s best. If it were up to me I would leave him intact
