we took benjamin to the docs today as he has really bad constipation he goes red in the face and cries with the pain...then he literally cannot go to the toilet...anyway...at birth his right teste hadn't dropped down, so they observed that and it dropped down at his next appointment.
well today the doctor noticed his testes were both up and she couldnt manually move them down
she said by now they should be down, and we have to keep an eye on them, as if they're not down in a week, we'll have to go see a specialist, who will try to move them down, and if they're not moved down he will have to have an operation
i cannot imagine how i would cope with having to hold him whilst they put him to sleep oh gosh... i am getting all sad at the thought of it just now

has anyone had this done?
anyone got any tips for them moving??? she literally had a good hoik about and still couldnt get them to move

poor lickle benjy

oh my poor little bean i really hopes he gets better soon I have a story but i wont tell it and anyway medicine has moved on a hell of a lot since my baby brother had a bowel op

my nephews are both still up and saw aspecialist and they wont do it till he is older he is 5 now and they rekon they are going to wait longer which im not sure is a good thing :O( his are both up too x

Poor little dude. I hope that they come down on their own.

I have no experience on little boys bits, but Aimee has had two operations and the hospital are really good at putting them under. You cuddle them while they put a little mask on them and wait for them to doze off. I'm sure it won't come to that though hunni x

Awww bless him,I hope they come down on their own, poor little mite x

I hope it all sorts it's self out without needing an op!!
Xx

poor thing hope his bowel movements get easier xx

my oh had that problem when he was a baba also his didnt split so had to have an op, he doesnt remember much about it but is fine and dandy now 26 years on!

fingerscrossed they desend xxxx

Aww poor little guy, hope they drop by themselves and he does have to go for an op. Hope his constipation eases too, did they give him anything to make it a bit easier.

oh no poor benji! like the ladies say im sure it wont come to having the operation but if it does its for the best and im sure him and u will both be brave enuf to cope. i do feel for u tho hun - i cudnt imagine the thought of alfie having to go under anasthetic x

Ah bless his poor bum...
I took Hayden for his 12 month check and they realised his left one hadn't descended however, it could be he was cold.. apparently they go up and down when cold...
Check him every couple of days - I was told with Lewis now 11 also one short at 8 month check (now 12 month check) that they would drop when he started walking and if they hadn't they wouldn't consider an operation until at least age 4 - so his got ages xx

poor wee thing i hope they come down soon i cannot see them doing surgery unless it was really necessary xx

I thought it was quite common for them not to come down hun and I know my cousins hadn't descended - I think he had an operation for it but not until he was at least 4!

i'm sure they will hold off for a while and see if it happens naturally
x

ah well that's made me feel a little better...but, i do know of a lot of ppl around this area whose little ones who have had similar op or an op on their actual winkies very early on

felt them today and theyre still not down...but OH said they go up n down all the time, and theyre very small like pips (i wouldnt have a clue what to look for lol)

yeah his constipation is still bad they gave him lactulose and it seemed to make him have bigger no.2's but not softer

i wish he could have some relief from that too, as its so upsetting seeing him cry like that when trying to no.2

eeeee i hope they come down by themselves, but the doctor did say they usually come down by themselves earlier than this if theyre going to.

xxx

thanks for all ur kind words xxx

poor benji, im sure it'll be ok but i would be very stressed too.

have you tried changing his diet to help with constipation? ava's had it really bad before and i realised it was bananas causing it.

i've added loads more fresh fruit/veggies/water and it's softening up a little, but not making much difference really...OH will kill me lol but OH suffers with it bad too, so wondering if it's hereditary lol
He's suffered from a v small age too

eeee when will all this crap for me and my family end

Aww bless him. They might drop on their own. My friends little
boy had a
op for that when he was one, and he is okay now,

as for the
poo thing. Have you tried pure apple juice?
I
give paige a small carton of
it
and then behold, a few hours later,
soft poo!
