How To Correct Inverted Penis In Child With Two Tags On Top?

My son is 3 years old, and has had an inverted penis pretty much since his circumcision, which also didn t heal properly. There is also an area at the tip if his penis which adhered due to the pediatricians incorrect advice in telling me that I didn t need to pull it out regularly. My son also has two little tags at the top portion of his penis at the circumcision site. Every pediatrician I have seen tells me that once he loses the fat pad it should resolve itself but don t even give me the option of seeing a pediatric urologist. I live in Bentonville, AR what else can I do to try and at least see if this is something that can be resolved or if he will have to deal with this for the rest of his life? There is no known family history on either side of this condition.

Hello,

Inverted penis can be corrected with surgery easily. Need not to worry, it doesn't cause disturbances in urinary flow, also not affect renal functions.

Consult a pediatric surgeon, and if he advises for surgery, then plan it accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
