If it's only the frenulum which is causing the restriction, the answer is that it will allow retraction. However, you could stretch it as suggested and eliminate possibly creating complications or side effects. Whenever something is cut, there is a possibility of nerve damage. Most victims of circumcision report severe loss of sensitivity. Because so much of the sensitivity comes from the frenulum, it is important to leave it intact whenever possible.

Why not call the doctor and cancel the op, then try streching for a couple of months. Within that period of time, you should see some progress and then you'll know what you have to do to get it to work right. If you go ahead with the op, you'll never know for sure what could have been.


>>>>Are you saying that you are completely unable to move your foreskin back even slightly when erect but that it goes back easily when flaccid?
>>>In a nutshell yes
>>Hmmm, then it would seem to me that you need to stretch the opening on your foreskin so it can accomodate your erection, not a frenoplasty, given the dichotomy of being able to bring your foreskin right back when soft and no retraction possible whilst erect. I certainly would take care of the tight opening before they got out the scalpel for a go at my bits. Ask your doctor for a prescription for Betamethasone ointment or cream to help in loosening up the tip of your foreskin.
>>For all intents and purposes, your shooting in the dark here, talking about having your frenulum removed when you aren't even able to get to a point where you could actually see what your frrenulum will allow once some movement can be achieved.
>>Maybe Paul B. is lurking about and can add his thoughts on this matter, since so far, it's only the two of us talking. Since you're considering an op on your bits, the more thoughts on this the better.

>My frenulum is very tight and needs doing that is certain when i have unprotected sex the foreskin gets forced back i'd say i can get about a quarter of it over the glans then its painful underneath where the frenulum is.
>Is it the tightness of the frenulum that stops it from retracting?
>and will this op sort it out??? its getting done friday!!!!!!
