Hello,

My boyfriend is going in for a circ in 2 weeks to treat his phimosis and he is too nervous to do any research into it himself, even thinking about it is making him ill. Anyhow, I have a couple of questions;
1. He is concerned about losing his frenulum. Can't he just ask the doctor not to remove it?
2. How often should bandages be changed after the op? How soon?
3. I told him to take a week off work, he insists 2 days will do (he works in an office) suggestions?
4. Any advice on ways that I can try to make him more comfortable when he first comes home from the docs?

Thanks a ton, it is nice to finally find a resource that isn't COMPLETELY biased. My bf is having the circ out of medical necessity, not because he wants to. ;)
