>I was diagnosed with white ring phimosis, possible bxo. Urologist said need full circ but thought i would try stretching to no abail using steroid creams. A while ago everyone on here was ranting about stretching and to not get circ, now though the posters seem to have swung towards the op and their experiences, have attitudes changed and I'm the only one who is sh1t scared of the op.
No you're not. I too was sh*t scared of having it done & took years before I finally did. I also had BXO with my phimosis, & also tried stretching with steroid creams to no avail for some while, & also was told by a urologist from the outset that a circ was needed. The whole idea of people posting their experiences is surely to let others see that a circ is not as bad as some people(including myself originally) might imagine, & that it is a very good cure for disorders such as yours & mine.- Stef.
