Guys,

I had a partial Cric on the NHS nearly 2 years ago now. My story is on this site somewhere. I was told that a full circ was the only answer but made it quite clear to them that I wanted only a partial circ.

The Consultants houseman (intern) if that is the right name for his junior was adamant that only a full circ would do. I was persistent and said that if it didn’t work they could do a full one later but I wanted to keep as much foreskin as possible. On the day of the op they were all checking that I only wanted a partial and the consultant himself (first time I had met him) was very pleasant and agreed that it was no problem to do a partial. The worst bit was having to explain this in the ward with only the curtains round the bed!!

I would say come over here and see the consultant I had but I am on the Isle of Man and I don’t think that they would do it on the NHS here unless you lived on the island.

My advice would be to stand your ground and make sure that you get what you want. A partial circ has worked wonders for me and cured my phimosis. The whole thing was relatively painless - more embarrassing than anything else. My foreskin is still long enough to cover the head and feels great for masturbation and sex. I just wish I had got it sorted years ago (I was 30 when I had it done).

Good luck and if you have any questions just.

>>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
