CONSULTATION & DIAGNOSIS

As mentioned in my previous post i knew i already had been suffering from phimosis. I have decided to pursue higher studies and have gotten an admit to a college in another country. Before leaving my home country i wanted to make sure that i would be 100% OK and that nothing should come in the way of my studies for the next 2 years. Medical treatment in India is also much easier and affordable than in other countries.

I was referred to Dr. Vernon Sequira by family friends who are also doctors. Dr. Vernon is a general surgeon and well versed with adult circumcision. Durring my first consultation he examined me and tried to pull back my foreskin until it hurt me -- which really wasnt very far. After inspecting my penis he told me that i didnt have full blown phimosis since the tip was able to open slightly. My foreskin was very tight though and he said that there is inflammation on the foreskin and penis glans called Ballanoposthitis.
He recommended that the surgery be done to take care of the Phimosis and the Ballanoposthitis.
I had about a month to go before flying out for my studies and asked him to schedule the surgery asap.

He wrote down a bunch of pre op tests to be done and also a general physician check up to be done. He also gave me a dosage of antibiotics to be taken for 5 days before the sugery
I completed all the required tests and was declared fit for the op. Dr. Vernon scheduled my surgery on the 25th of July at 8.30 am.
