As an answer to: partial circ - just take the phimotic ring? written by mp at 15 May 2002 00:29:45:

You've received advice from a competent and skilled general practioner (one who is also knowledgable about surgical techniques) who is familiar with your situation. I have also given you advice on the use of a device to hold open the skin for hours at a time. This advice was given with my personal experience in the use of such devices since 1985. I have also been in personal contact with others who have used devices with success over those several years. Both Paul's ideas and my ideas are based upon sound and sensible real-life experiences and results. You can get busy and make it happen for you, or you can try rationalizing having some essential parts cut off, but continuing to haggle over it will not do the job. If you want the best results, Paul and I have done our best to get the message across to you.

>I don't know what a partial circ is - I have partial phimosis - can it just remove the ring alone that causing the phimosis and leave everything else? What scared me off from a circ is hearing that sexual pleasure would be impaired - but if the frenulum (sp?) is left intact then does this become moot?
>I'm thinking this could be great... Because so far, yes, the kenalog I've been prescribed does seem to make the foreskin a tad stretchable EXCEPT for the tissue that makes up the ring...
>Could it be because the ring is sort of under the surface of the skin that the cream has less of an impact on it??
