A1, I can totally appreciate how scary the decision to see a Doctor can be. Please don't let PaulB and his anti-circ pals fill your head with airy-fairy treatments. You NEED to see a qualified individual who can examine and make an objective diagnosis - NOT get a diagnosis and treatment advice from some guy from online (that could be dangerous). For all you know he could be a 10 year old punk with too much time on his hands that's just messing with you.

If you decide to go to the Doctor and you are not sure or are unhappy with what your Doctor says you can always get an opinion, or a third etc. It is so important that you do get a professional opinion on your possible condition. Stretching in some cases is far from desirable in some cases.

Perhaps you could discuss your concerns with your parents. I'm sure they will want to know and be able help and support you as they will want what is best for YOU.

Also, I'm not telling you that you need to be circ'd. Far from it. Only a trained professional can do that. I post here simply to help where I can. If you have questions about my circ experience that you want to ask me, go ahead and ask and I'll tell you straight.
