If you agree that inability to retract foreskin is phimosis, why did you try blindly discredit my post and tell everyone not to listen to what I have to say ?

Based on didier's description, he has phimosis. Period. Any intelligent person on these forums knows that no diagnosis here is "final and official".

I reallyt don't see why this discussion would have degenerated into a USA RIC debate and USA doctors happy to cut off foreskins. "Didier" is not an american name. Didier is most likely from france or other french speaking country in europe.

He came in here with a clear case of phimosis and asked what his options were. I gave him options for stretching and circumcision (full or partial).

I don't underestimate people's intelligence and knew that someone like didier, upoin reading suggestions here would then make further inquiries. It isn't as if he would take his scissors and cut his foreksin off just after reading the posts in this thread.

Yet, SteveHD reacts as if this is what he expected to happen. If you visit some of those "rabid circumcising USA doctors" the anti-circ crowd loves to talk about, the doctor will not strap the patient down as soon as the patient admits he has a tight foreksin and perform a circumcision without getting written consent from the patient.

If the patient knows there are stretching options and there are various circumcsion options, then the patient can make sure those are discussed with the doctor. If the doctor is unresponsive to the more moderate solutions and cannot explain why they are not good for him, then the patient can go to another doctor.

People like SteveHD really underestimate the intelligence of people.
