First into the clinic is 50 year old Mark, who after 30 years of putting up with phimosis (a tightening of the foreskin around the penis) has finally decided to seek help. This condition affects around 10% of uncircumcised men and Dr Pixie advises Mark to visit a urologist to decide which treatment would be best, which can include the use of steroid creams, stretching methods and circumcision. Mark opts for circumcision and joins the 12,200 men who have this procedure for medical reasons every year. It is a simple operation where the doctor removes the foreskin, keeping the glans permanently exposed and now Mark is able to have sex without experiencing any pain at all.
