my ds, age 8 has just been diagnosed with bxo
(Balanitis xerotica obliterans) and we've just been told that he needs to be circumsiced. i'm devastated...i don't know why...i'm trying to be positive..it needs doing, but obviously will involve going under GA and a week or two of soreness and recovery. i could cry..he's already had to have surgery twice before and it was just awful waiting for him to come around afterwards...
anyone got any experience or reassurance?
