HELP!!!

Tags: HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

I have been circumcised from birth and I NEED to fix it. I NEED full foreskin restoration, the nerves, vessles, frenlum and everything else that was stolen from me. I know about stretching but that only helps with appearence and though I need to look natural, I need the sensation of being uncircumcized. I need thse sensory receptors back! This situation is tearing me apart, it has caused anxiety and depression and i dont know what to do. I NEED a trans plant or some way to grow everything back. PLEASE HELP ME! I am at the end of my rope!

Although there are techniques to surgical mimic and recreate a foreskin, they will not necessarily create better sensation or improve your mental wellbeing. The surgery requires multiple stages using scrotal skin and is quite an ordeal to undertake.

The only way to get what you are asking for would be to regenerate a new foreskin.I have seen on the news recently that a new technology exists to regrow body parts being used on soldiers that lost body parts in the war.It involves using a powder made from a pigs bladder being implanted in the area of the missing body part.This could be used to grow a new foreskin.Your only other option would be the stretching restoration that you mentioned or reconstruction that Dr.Rosenberg mentioned.A transplant is possible but not practical due to the anti-rejection medicine you would have to take.

You might also want to join a lawsuit and get therapy it could help you.I do not know if these therapists are still practicing but you can contact them.Also becoming an activist to help stop circumcision might be helpful.
