Does Over Circumcised Foreskin Cause Pain When Erected?

My grandson was circumcised at age two. His foreskin was to tight and would not retract was the reason for the surgery. It has been six months since the surgery. Now we have noticed that when he has an erection he is in great pain and cries saying that it hurts. It seems that possibly to much skin was removed...can this be rectified?

Hi and thanks for the query,
It is possible depending on how the circumcision was done. It also depends on the age at which circumcision is done. generelly, when well done in children. the complications are generally very few. In adults, with recommended techniques used, they are rare but more frequent than compared to children.
In your case, i think there should a complete urological/surgical review to remedy the situation. Kind regards
