Thanks Ivan
>I still have no preferencial treatment.
For what? Circumcision on healthy foreskins doesn't seem to be a treatment for anything.

Obviously and its not even a question. Treatment means theres something wrong, a problem.

>Phimosis can be treated by stretching, with or without the help of betamethasone, and if the resuklts are coming too slow for someone, they are still able to get circumcised; that's why patient and diligent stretching should always be the first choice for phimosis. Of course, for cancer in the foreskin, surgery makes sense. And there is some argument in the case of LSA,

Thats almost the message, but the first step should always be DIAGNOSIS
Amost everyone is stuck in their own one method of treatment, and advise this even without a diagnosis with the result that someone with a "tight" foreskin can take ages of frustration trying a useless stretching method with a condition which cant be stretched.
If we take the first step a little further then I always keep in mind the importance of checking kids before they even start having problems ...
