In your case if the ring is too tight to even get near retracting, then there is no danger of paraphimosis and therefore your option is to get the frenulum done first, because this will make stretching easier. It really is a complicated little question which to do first, then, with a pinhole phimosis you cant even get to the frenulum to treat it, so here you must first stretch a certain amount (not enough to cause paraphimosis) then get the frenulum fixed and then continue stretching ... Thank you for reaqding my site so thoroughly ... ther is always something more which could be said ... for example with stretching anyway in all cases there is a danger zone when paraphimosis could occur ... so you must read the paraphimosis.html --- I have never done it myself but it is apparently quite easy to reduce a paraphimosis yourself. anyway sorry for this very complicated little answer ... (there must be an easy answer somewhere!!) cheers .. tell us how it goes Robin Answers:
