Phimosis, expect lower circumcision

Had a very wonderful Greek patient here 2 days ago with retractable phimosis, but cracked and was painful after sex so much, that he needed a week to recover every time he penetrated.  Time for cosmetic circumcision.

Yes, by touching and looking at the white inner skin, I can tell exactly how much is inflamed and non-elastic.  This definitely has to be removed, otherwise the problem will recur.  With careful approximation, was able to do this without a lower V-cut.  He wanted the frenulum preserved, and that’s OK.  It was not hard, cord-like and fibrotic. 

Seen the next day at the office with his beautiful girlfriend and is doing well.  Not pain whatsoever.
