> While stretching of the foreskin may help relieve the inflammation of mild phimosis,

Ralesk has picked you easily on this one. You are not a graduate of a medical course.

> it is characteristically only temporary (if of any benefit) to any degree more severe.

The same is demonstrated here - you know nothing of surgical techniques.

> The stretching of the frenulum is not something I would ever suggest given the amount (or lack thereof) research done in this field.

Then it's just as well no-one would ever ask you. They'd surely ask someone who knows instead.

Skin expansion (yes, fraenulum is definitely skin) is an eminently well-researched field, but skin stretching is something on which every surgeon depends - and always has. Your suggestion is about as meaningful (and as dangerous) as "researching" whether a brand-new scalpel (blade) will cut skin.

> I would not be inclined myself to offer any treatment based on what a relatively small number of individual(s) have reported on the Internet as an approved or accurate representation for a study.

And a good thing too, as you have demonstrated you have neither medical qualification, nor expertise. If you had, you would know far better than to parrot "AJ".
