Dyspareunia
 * 1) Noting that Rxxxxx undid not only my addition of this one word but also the previously existing wording about painful sexual intercourse in the prognosis section of the article, I believe some work needs to be done. I propose including the following under the management section of the article:
 * 2) Phimosis can be the cause of dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse). Whelan’s statistics show that in 50% of the 48 adults circumcised at the Churchill Hospital, Oxford, in 1975 and 1976, phimosis had been the only indication, and that 40% of those patients had also complained of pain on intercourse.  Whelan’s statistics also show that ten of the 48 patients presented a short frenulum as the only indication, and that they had all previously suffered pain on intercourse.  The treatment completely alleviated all symptoms in 90% of patients with a short frenulum (i.e. the 90% who responded to the follow-up questionnaire, making the alleviation of symptoms complete in 100% of the patients who responded).  Dockray, Muir and Findlayson’s statistics published in December 2011 show similar successful treatment with frenuloplasty.  Whelan commented that a short frenulum should be sought as a cause of dyspareunia in patients who may erroneously be labelled as having psychosexual problems.
