This saturday it will be my day 7 post operation and i can see spelling going down. However, i cant understand why my surgeon used two type of sutures, all of them are booking outside and making my life hell i am literally walking like a penguine 🤣🤣🤣. I will post a picture after 7th day of my circumcision. I want to know for how long i should have sitz bath or sea salt bath. Plus is there anyway to de create the irritation and discomfort due to the sutures.?

Lookin good. Tomorrow is day 7 for me and there is still a bit more swelling than I'd like. Were you prescribed antibiotics or medication?

Yaa I am having antibiotics..cefixime and ofloxacin. They have also asked me to apply iodine ointment topically over the stitched area and take sitz bath with iodine solution water. Have u been suggested with the same? What about your stitches, are they falling off? Mine is still intact and bleeds few drops after erection. Please tell are u washing it warm water daily?

I also want to see your status and compare with my healing. Can u share a pic. Plus tell me what u r doing to overcome the irritation or poky sutures. Walking naked is not a thing as I am here with my entire clan.

If you check my profile I posted a pic a few days ago. The swelling has gone down a lot but it's still noticeable. I'm hoping by Monday the swelling will subside. A few of my stitches have fallen off but for the most part they are still in tact. I think the ones that fell off were due to erections being that I haven't jerked off in a week, they are pretty frequent. Yes, I wash my body with warm soapy water and let that water run over my penis but the shower water doesn't hit my penis directly.

The swelling you have here is similar to what i have, but i have some more brusing on the skin and sore on the glans. Is it causing you pain at all? Mine is hurting where it is swollen. Has your swelling gone down since you took this?

At that moment it had painful sensation while touching or erections. Now, it's mere discomfort. Yes whenever the stitch touches my boxer fabric it feels awful. It feels heavy inside. I also have a swollen portion which you are talking about and I saw that one of the member of this forum also posted something regarding that so I hope that's normal and my doctor also said that such things will go away with time. It's your day 6 so be patient within 4 more days you will feel comfortable. I have sent you a personal message., Do check that.

Not what you're looking for?
