Is Manual Retraction Of Foreskin Advisable For A Child Post Phimosis Surgery?

My 9 year old son was doing an operation for phimosis last week. His mum is now telling him to pull back the foreskin as much ass possible so that it will not grow back and he will need to do a new operation. Is that the correct way to do this? I would like to think that it is better to wait at least a couple of weeks until everything has healed before he try that.

You are right. Wait a little.no urgency here. It will be quite painful to do so right away too. Circumcision is curative. Nothing to worry.
