Hello,
I am the mother to four sons. My first son was circumcised due to my ignorance at the time. My other 3 sons are not circumcised. My youngest two are 5 month old twins. My smallest twin had a UTI at 7 weeks old. They did an ultrasound and VCUG to rule out any anatomical defects (they found nothing other than a kidney that was inflamed due to the infection). They suggested his very tight foreskin might be a cause. It was pretty red and inflamed at the tip.
He is now facing another UTI. The tip of his penis and foreskin are all red and inflamed again. Again, it was suggested that the foreskin may be causing the UTI's and circumcision may be an indication. I do not want to circumcise my son nor do I want him to have these repeat UTI's and keep having to go on antibiotics. We tried some other natural remedies such as homeopathy and d-mannose to no success. Can anyone please advise about some alternatives?
Thank you!
Mel.
