Phimosis patients, regular visitors
In the past few months we had seen several cases of bona fide phimosis which has not responded to conservative measures. You may wish to scan some before and after photos ttp://www.penisdoctor.com/photo-circumcision.htm taken during our adult circumcisions. What surprises us is that patients have quietly suffered with this for so long when the remedy is so simple. Often it is their wife or girl friend that pushes them to Dr. Reed’s office, and not uncommonly they accompany the patient to Bay Harbor to be present, lend moral support, see our facility and even watch. Hey, that’s OK. We love vocal anesthesia supplements, and tender hand holding.
Important to keep in mind that the phimotic process, read scarification, involves more of the foreskin than just the very tip, and if a substantial amount is not removed back towards healthy skin, a waist banding effect will occur. Or thinking about this another way, the more inner skin removed the lower the circumcision, but patient health is number one. Bye-bye cracking, oozing, bleeding and recurrent micro-trauma and pain.
All in a days work,
