And the "urologist" didn't enquire about or check for that before recommending a circumcision? That would be prima facie negligence if it were true, for what you describe.

You need to know, as if you are diabetic, you will need to control this and use an anti-fungal preparation as well as the steroid cream or the problem will never improve (and will be but the least of your worries).

> Th' urologist I saw said he had to circ one man that had urine backed up on him. Maybe a scare tactic on his part.

Oh, it can happen. He probably didn't mention the age of this one victim, or whether he was in a nursing home, or whether he was diabetic which - if he, the "urologist" never checks for, - is a "minor" detail he obviously wouldn't know or care about.

Do I sound scathing about this so-called "specialist"?
