He doesn't seem to be in any pain but when he pee's it comes out slightly to the left and not straight down in the toliet. I have heard that this is something that will need surgery and then I've heard that it is nothing to worry about. Please if you have information on a child or adult with this problem let me know what was done if anything.
His doctor said it was okay but people are telling me I should take him to see a different doctor.
He was curcumsized at birth!

I would get a second opinion. Make sure you go to a doctor that specializes in that area.

My son's penis was completely sideways when he was born the whole was that is, and he had a turned Urethra. This can be a serious problem if not fixed. The Penis can be turned part way or all the way side ways, and also the whole can be up at the top or it can be to small, this needs to be taken care of, and it needs to be done by a Urologist. Ask your childs pediatrition to send you to one. My son's penis required two surgeries but his was bad anyway and then the surgery did not do right, but if the problem is not corrected your child will have problem with urination and with sex when he is an adult so go get er done. It is easy to fix we had an unusaul problem so that is why we had to do two surgeries but that does not usually happen.

My daughter went through this stage at about the same age too. Try not to worry - with her it really was a case of just getting so distracted by playing games/with friends. At night time we used reward stickers everytime she woke up dry but during the day we just went back to basics - i.e. jumping up and down like a lunatic and shouting hooray everytime she did use the toilet. At the time I spoke to my daughter's pre school about this and they agreed that it is a stage that will pass - it does.

This is called penile torsion. Mild degrees are normal and do not need surgery. Severe forms, where the penis is literally upside down, do need minor corrective surgery. This is unrelated to the circumcision-which is a good thing to do. As your baby grows, there is a natural tendency for the torsion to improve, not worsen.

The bady is all right. The child has 19 more years of growing to do. If the Doctor its ok then it ok. Don't !!!!! Follow the advice of non-Doctors, You will only get embarrassed for following their advice.

Do not worry. A friend of mine has had that problem his whole life and he is 28 now. It is not a big deal, he just needs to aim "sideways" instead of straight on.

It's normal. Unless it causes pain, don't worry, and you don't need a new doctor baised on that advice.
It's perfectly normal. We are not perfect. Not 100% symetrical. It's like women having one breast larger than the other. It's normal.

My middle son has a 'crooked stream' too. It just means he'll have to be careful about his aim so he doesn't get it all over the place. It's nothing to worry about an it's fairly common.

Don't you think you've done enough to this poor little boy's penis by cutting off his foreskin? If he can pee ok (even if a little off centre) why put him through any more surgery? Leave him alone until he can make his own mind up whether he wants it to look any different or get it corrected.
Why do you feel you need to alter his anatomy to some perfect "norm"?
I say, if it functions ok, leave it alone!

He's just fine. That's actually pretty common, like a deviated septum. So don't worry and tell all your friends to relax too. I promise!!!
