>>I'm very puzzled by this statement. Given that you now have your foreskin retractable and realise that stretching is the way to go, why would you be thinking about circumcision?
>Quite simply because thats all the docter had to say to me when i went to see him about this.. he told me i had phimosis and circumcision was the only thing to sort it outAnyone who does not become a partner with his doctor in his own medical treatment is acting very foolishly. Doctors are so busy with their practices that they cannot possibly keep up on every possible treatment for the myriad of things they see every day. Your doctor is acting upon the only knowledge he has about the subject, information we now know to be old-fashioned. Don't take everything the doctor says as being the last or only word on the subject. Sure, his method will work, no doubt about that, but you'll get other problems right along with it. You've already had progress from doing what we know works and it's just a matter of doing a bit more to finish the job.
