I am about to save an adult male friend of mine from mutilating himself! He has been dealing with some phimosis issues and is at his wits end.

I need links to stretching info and what the heck is the steroid cream?

He's 37 and lives in the UK.

have him call Marilyn Milos, RN, Executive Director of NOCIRC - 415-488-9883 or if he won't, you can e-mail her directly - just go to the www.nocirc.org website and find her e-mail contact info - she's really the expert on things like this.

In most cases phimosis can be treated with steroid cream, surgery is not necessary.

His GP hasn't recommended the stretching and creams? I understand in the UK they're well-versed in these treatments.

: But I have read of some pretty circ happy Dr's in non circing countries.

Links on phimosis:
Phimosis treatment: http://www.norm-uk.org/circumcision_...reatments.html This one is a UK Dr. He may even be able to contact him.

He's scheduled the surgery for the 22nd of Sept.

I gave him everything I had and then some...at least he's an adult

I hope he is happy with whatever decision he ends up making.

I'm going to PM you the url to a medical forum where he should be able to get some good advice and support.
