Hi,Good day,
I am a 40yr old male and I have been having this discomfort for about 3yrs which has gotten worst to date. I have visited 3 different doctors one a specialist and two were family doctor, two of which suggest that I be circumcised. I have no problem with that...my concern is that my balanitis got a little worse in that 70% of my foreskin has stuck and fused to my gland or head of the penis so now 70% horizontally of the circumference of the penis head cannot be seen and the foreskin has fused to the head about 20% up or vertically..I hope this explanation does justice and gives a proper visual image. So the point where the penis head joins the shaft there is a little.......Ok....I found this diagram...from the Frenulum around to the Sulcus 70% of that ridge is now missing...the fused foreskin makes my sulcus to my Frenulum appear non existent...only about 30% of that ridge can be seen with extreme care when trying to pull the foreskin back to clean...so there is also a lot of phimosis and scaring tissue also.So I was wondering should I be treated first for the balanitis problem before the circumcision takes place...because when I look at a normal circumcision..I wonder what problem will the fused foreskin cause to the operation procedure...Thanks for any help or suggestions because....in my opinion the doctors seem not to treat my concerns or problem but just quoting me a price for the surgery..I know they want their money but they are not reassuring me of success with the procedure given my concerns.I tried to take a picture of my penis I hope this may help.Image attached.Thanking you in advance for your assistance or suggestions.
