# Re: Doubts on diagnosis Written by Robin at 26 Oct 2005 19:25:15: As an answer to: Doubts on diagnosis written by Irwan at 20 Oct 2005 18:19:16: Dear Irwan, One problem for me is the new laser techniques - in that I havent heard any results from these. But I am amazed how very modern they are in Greece!! The partial circumcision went well then, and approx half the foreskin you used to have is to be expected, so that in the flaccid state there is no overhang, but the foreskin covers the glans. Ive never heard of any regeneration of the frenulum tissue - maybe this can occur when the frenulum is lasered ..? I doubt it, but I cant answer this Then I quote you - first "I can also feel the area where the frenulum was a bit hard, and it also looks white (just like the frenulum used to look). Does that mean there is more frenulum there that needs to be removed?" After a normal frenuloplasty there is also the white coloured "root" of the frenulum - if this white colour is truly the root, or if it is simply scar tissue is irrelevant, this doesnt need removing. If its scar tissue then it may be rather hard for the first few months, this will decrease but there will probably always be some stiff tissue there. "And here is the question : should my foreskin now unfold completely?" I feel you are expecting it to fold back evenly like the cuff on a shirt , and this doesnt happen. To explain better we must first look at the next quote. It really confused me, I could see you had made an effort to express yourself clearly, but Im afraid I could only understand it if you were standing on your head :) aha I thought so maybe your descriptions are when you are standing and holding your penis up to look at it - either that or you have erection like one of those Greek Gods - Pan and the satyrs, where it curves upwards :) " ... the way I see it there is still no elasticity on the front part where the frenulum used to be (or is still there partly) so the front part of the foreskin cannot move down as much as the back part," so the front part where the fren. used to be, means the underneath (for one of us with normal human erections and penis which hang) - and the back part is what is normally the top part (but in your Godly stance this shows to your belly button ...) Ok I got it - so lets put it in my language and I hope this helps. Underneath (where the frenulum was) the foreskin is always nearer the glans and a normal foreskin slants backwards (towards you) on the top side when pulled back - If you look and check the shape of your glans then I think you will find .. well with me the glans underneath to the meatus (the urinary opening) is aroung 2 thirds the length of the glans on top, ie. the glans isnt evenly round. So, the foreskin now fits neatly. I think everything is Ok and how we can expect it to be. If you send me pics I might be able to say more. If you really really want a foreskin which folds back evenly then this will require plastic surgery, a cosmetic surgeon, and Im not sure if it would work anyway, ... but there must be a way if youve got the money. The important question for me is do you suffer ANY pain or discomfort during masturbation? would you have any problems with love making or using condoms? cheers Robin PS. Hey and I notice youre from Greece - one could imagine you speak Greek as fluently as English ... I have a question: the word "phimos" comes from ancient Greek meaning a horses muzzle - is there any modern Greek word related to this? Any uneasy personal sexual experience or development which would add to the evidence supporting monitoring boys before puberty - would be appreciated - anonymity guaranteed - please note I am only online once a week (usually on Wednesdays). I collect mail one week and answer the next, thoughtful replies can take 2 week delay.
