How To Remove The Stitch After Circumcision?
Please help.My 7 year old son has been circumcised 2 weeks ago. He still sprays when he urinates and cry when urinating. I went for a second opinion and the dr said that the dr that done the procedure on my child has used thick stitches and there is one stich that needs to fall off. It seems it s tightening the urethra. He gave me antibiotics and pain medicine. I can no longer see my child suffering like this it is torture. He has sudden urges to urinate and it affects school. Can this stich be manually removed?

Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
No, you should not attempt to remove it manually. Please consult your local doctor for removal under aseptic conditions. You should fix a urologist appointment beforehand to workup the urinary symptoms of your child. Urine R/E , C/S and an ultrasound abdomen pelvis would most likely be advised.
wishing you best of health
thanks
