# Re: stretching secondary ring Written by Robin at 16 Feb 2005 19:23:41: As an answer to: treatment - phimosis written by RS at 11 Jan 2005 17:11:36: Hi, I now get time to answer your amusing letter "The Trials and Tribulations of a Stretcher" Very interesting for me is the description of how the white ring turned red, - Ive heard this before, but never had an explanation why. Youve obviously got a secondary ring, and are set to do a life long battle against it - I wonder if such heroism is awaited in the modern world - Perserverance is certainly a good quality, but in the face of the mongolian hoardes little Peter with his sword dont stand much chance. -- I think Id go for a partial circ. - or someone was suggesting a pediatric urologist would do minimal plastic surgery on just the ring area. As youre in the UK I know Dr. Cuckow in London does plastic surgery. (costs about 2000 quid I imagine these days). Still, dont let me silence your battle cries, if you want further info. call back here thanks and all the best Robin >English Male, 36 yrs old,, obviously un-cut,, >I really don't know how the necrotic process began,,, but >intimacy issues arose literally between my wife and I >flexibility was starting to decrease, bringing first of all >discomfort and then pain,, the pain I fear to say would >over-ride the pleasure of intimacy, so ED arose only when >the head was fully exposed,, otherwise excessive >lubrication had to be used as not to force the skin to >retract,, this theory did work short term for me but not >for my wife who would complain about excessive 'moisture', >thus, this treated the symptom not the cause... >Being an Engineer,,, like all mechanical function,, the >idea of inserting >cylindrical object to stretch it out,,, this I did for what >must seem to be at least half a year,, but it only gave >short term stretch/relief but the continual pain/itching >did not make me a social/sexual creature, plus >the continual adjustment did make me look like I was >infected,, according to my wife I would 'adjust' >automatically without thinking where I was,, so onto the >next step >At its worst, I paid a visit to a Urologist early February >2003 where constriction was about 3/4 Diameter, with >excessive pain to retract, I had the dreaded hour glass >silhouette. >I asked about d-slit, cream or some new procedure, being >cut wasn't preferred but an option he wanted, >at the time I had a rash so he prescribed a steroid cream >0.25 percent which cleaned up the rash (this will become >apparent later) So being cut wasn't what I wanted to hear >so I decided to do some internet search, hence your >website.... thanks >So, the theory of a more aggressive stretching came to >mind,, now for the last 6 weeks,, every time I use the >bathroom I do some therapy,, >started out with being able to insert 2 index finger tips >and manipulate the 'ring"...
