I can't recomment circumcsion for the OP because I don't know what he has. But in the sam vein, the anti circers cannot say his condition does not require circumcision because they do not know what his condition is.
The OP wanting alternatives to circumcision indicates he places value on his foreskin. On top of that, the number of cases where circumcision is medically necessary is ridiculously small. In countries without a cultural tradition/history of circumcision, the adult circ rate is about .3% for all reasons combined, including cosmetic, medical, and religious reasons. For you to recommend circumcision both in spite of the facts and the stated preferences of the OP is both absurd and disrespectful. Why do you push for it so hard?I can't recomment circumcsion for the OP because I don't know what he has.

Let's say I am diabetic and have chronic recurring pains in my foot. I come in for treatment every so often due to muscle spasms and intense pain. My doctor and I don't know if the treatments are ever going to keep this problem from reoccurring. We do know that I wouldn't have to worry about my foot anymore if we had it amputated. Due to the diabetes, I may need to have it done eventually anyway. I'll even still be able to live a long full life, because prosthetics nowadays are nothing short of amazing. Even though I place value on my foot, should I have it amputated, seeing as how it's a sure fix and might need to be done at some point in the future anyway?Once at adulthood, a foreskin that begins to tighten when it was never tight before is not a normal condition.
Nobody can deduce his condition is fixable by stretching or some steroid creams.
It could be a simple infection that can be fixed with some polysporin/neosporin/ozonol. Or it would be a more serious condition that can only be fixed by circumcision because the odds are very high it woudl be arecurring problem.
That's actually not a bad comparison. It's even kind of the same issue. Doctors will sometimes recommend surgery or a more invasive treatment simply because they think they might have to do it later. If stuck choosing between two options, they often choose based solely off of what they feel will have the greatest chance of success, ignoring factors such as the possibility of a less invasive treatment more to a patient's liking.I would say that you should have a second opinion before doing any sort of surgery. It's clear you don't want to have to get circumcision and it's my experience that there are a lot of medical professionals who come to a conclusion of what they think is right medically and will refuse to pursue other options.
Not the same situation, but: My dog has a trick knee. Took him to the vet for the sporadic limping and the one doctor insisted I consider surgery because it was "the only way it would be fixed." I went to a veterinary surgical specialist and they said I should try putting him on glucosamine supplements to see if there was improvement, which has worked fine.
As I said, definitely not the same situation, but the point is valid--sometimes doctors won't consider any other options but their own, and sometimes they're not necessary.
Okay, the photos on here are quite old. In the last few months I noticed the skin got a bit tighter. I noticed it when I was hard that it was more difficult to pull it back. The bottom part of the foreskin started getting harder and harder and I have noticed some small cracks in the skin. It has now gotten to a stage where it is difficult to pull open when flacid. Some times I do get it open, but it varies. I have now started applying baby oil every morning and when masturbating, I try to strech it. It has gotten better. The urologist was quite proffesional, but only have one treatment in mind and did not eveven want to suggest anything else. Thanks for all the comments, ill go for that second opion before I have anyone cut off anything
I dare you to go for it.
Oh I don't know about that. Death is a very rare outcome of adult circumcision.Go and see a good jewish doctor and get yourself circumcised.It will put and end to all your troubles.
There's a word for that - apotemnophilia.I wish I had me foreskin back so I could have it cut off again.
"Death is a very rare outcome of adult circumcision"
Death is a fairly common outcome of adults driving a car.
I'd choose circumcision.
