After circumcision

[pickanajveca]

I got circumcised 4 days ago now and since the day I got circumcised the first thing I noticed is that my penis seems 2 or 3 cm longer?

Is that normal?

I also get really painful erections which wake me up from sleep so I only sleep for a few hours.. What's the best way to kind of stop the pain?

I also feel very uncomfortable when I walk that's why I don't wear any underwear and just wear loose trousers, should I be doing this?

Last question is that how will I know when the stitches are dissolved and how long does it take after circumcision for them to dissolve since only the half of my foreskin is circumcised.

Im on day 14. Im not sure about size but night erection were a painful thing for about a week.

Try to not drink much a few hours before bed and i tried to lay on my side with legs up, but some nights a pillow under my knee and layed on my front but its however you sleep best. You could take some painkillers if its that bad too but i didnt need to.

If able to walk around indoors naked or lose clothing thats ok but i also bought some tight underwear like Y fronts not the best looking things but they keep it still and stop it moving about which helped alot.

Im at day 14 and have only lost 3 stitches, most of mine are still in place yet seem to be getting looser. They said somewhwre around the two week mark 10-14days on average for them to fall out but mine seem to be taking longer.

When i clean i just run water over it in a shallow bath and dab it with a cotten pad

Thanks, but basically I can't even see my stitches because they are covered with the skin so thats why I am confused like how are they even going to fall off?

I didn't have a shower yet anyways cause they also put a stitch on my phead after the surgery because it was bleeding from it and I am afraid of it falling or something

Hi Man, it is your inner foreskin that has swollen slightly that's why you can't see the stitches it will go down in time it varies from person to person if you use a wet Ice Cube and gently rub the swelling with it every few hours it should help. if possible try and keep your penis upright as well this will help. the stitches will eventually dissolve and some will fall off.

But I don't see it like swelling I thought it was because I only got half of my foreskin removed

[MrMac99 in reply to pickanajveca]

Yes You could have had a loose cut give it some time it could be some swelling

I have been having the same sleeping problems, I haven't gotten much sleep since. But to help with just walking around I highly suggest wearing tight underwear. It helps keep it from swinging around and being painful when walking. I've been out and about the past couple days and it really helps. And if I were you, I'd try to take a bath if you aren't going to shower. It's a fresh wound, so cleaning (or at least rinsing it) is vital. Best of luck my man!
