> Written by Robin at 14 Dec 2006 18:45:46: As an answer to: problem retracting written by sam at 14 Dec 2006 18:44:56: Hello sam, hummm what comes out of your letter is this. 99% certain that the something you ripped when 12/13 yrs, was the frenulum, this often bleeds and then simply rejoins due to coagulation of the blood. 99% certain that the hourglass description indicates a relative phimosis (ie one which can be retracted when flaccid but not when erect) So this means Im 98% sure that you have both a frenulum breve and a mild degree of phimosis. Which kind of doctor to see depends on what sort of treatment you choose ... simplest may be a surgeon ... however stretching and steroids are possible for the phimotic ring ... see https://www.male-initiation.net/phimosis_treatment.html Full circumcision can almost always be avoided. Its not an easy subject, and unfortunately few doctors have really studied it, so in my opinion this means you must do a bit more homework if you want an optimal cure. see also https://www.male-initiation.net/frenulum_treatment.html If you go to a doctor for diagnosis be sure to inform him of the mild degree of phimosis - in a flaccid examination he will ceratinly miss this, and it is only rarely that he will ask ... please read a bit more and good luck If you write back please tell us what your specific symptoms are, this site is established to inform on the sexual/psychological influence of phimosis - treatment is only an appendix on my site - treatment is the doctors department - once the medical profession start realising how much phimosis can mess up sex and emotions and behaviour etc. they could develop hundreds of different ways to check for and treat these conditions which I cant even imagine - my job is only to show what the problems are and bring this to the light of day. So please tell me what your problems were with your condition eg during masturbation etc. and did you attempt sex with this condition? what happened? cheers Robin >hello robin, > > iam a 30 year old unmarried adult. > i'd like to describe my situation to you and like to see what comes out of it. > > a little bit of history - it was not until when i was 13/12 yrs old i started masturbating. > and one of the times i ripped something and started to bleed. > from then on i changed the style of stroking thinking that it would help preventing a rip. > > i was never able to retract my foreskin before the rip or after it,when erect. > when flaccid though i am able to retract it fully- but my penis bulbs a bit when i do it. > like the hour glass thats depicted in the arc article. > > i really cannot make out if what i have is phimosis or frenulum breve. > > i would really appreciate your advice on this. > like what kind of a doctor should i see? > would circumcision help or can it be avoided? > > best wishes, > sam Answers:
