>Hi guys,
>I've had a phimotic ring for around 4 years now, and being a typical guy I was too embarrassed to see a doctor about it until last year. When I eventually swallowed my pride and went to see my GP, he referred me to a Urologist in Newcastle upon Tyne.
>It would appear that this particular Urologist is from the old school because after examining me he recommended a full circumcision and when I raised the possibility of a partial circumcision he said that it wasn't possible. I've read a lot of documentation about phimotic rings and LSA, and I'm happy that there's nothing strange or complicated about my case so I'm a bit upset about the whole thing. I refused his advice and told him that I'd rather live with it than lose my foreskin.
>Therefore, can anyone give me the names of Urologists in Northern England (either NHS or private - I really don't care, I just want to get this sorted out!) who could offer me a second opinion and hopefully offer to carry out a partial circumcision?
>Thanks in advance,
>Steve
