==Options for treatment of lost foreskin==
The options for treatment are few. [[Surgical foreskin restoration]] has been tried but is no longer recommended. Men, seeking to undo the unfortunate results of their circumcision, may opt for non-surgical [[foreskin restoration]], which uses [[tissue expansion]] to elongate the residual shaft skin to form a new foreskin. It is claimed that it restores about 80 percent of the lost sensation.Watson & Golden (2017) recommend that [[circumcised]] men "embrace the anguish and try to feel it as strongly as they can." They also recommend non-surgical [[foreskin restoration]] "since it empowers the patient."<ref name="watson2017">{{REFjournal |last=Watson |first=Lindsay R. |init=LR |author-link=Lindsay R.

Other regret men are awaiting the hoped for success of [[Foregen]] to regenerate a missing [[foreskin]] as a salamander regenerates its lost tail, however this is not yet a proven procedure.
