Hi all. I'm day 8 after a circumcision. Just wanted to know if people think, it's healing ok? It's swollen up at the back and sides which I've read on here might take upto 2 months to heal which is expected. I'm doing salt baths 4 times a day which seems to relieve pain and give it a good clean round the stitches etc

Night erections are still keeping me up at all hours but it's getting easier. Had my first stitch come out in shower this morning also.

Had a suspect infection so was put on antibiotics , why risk it ! Hope I'm doing all I can to keep on top of the healing process. I know it's going to take a long time so just being paitent.

Any advice welcomed thanks !

It looks fine after being only 8 days post op. The swelling will go down. Just give it some time. Everything looks fine!

Thank you 😁

Looking awesome man , swelling goes down , use briefs and keep the penis in a gauze for about 1 more week in upwards position .

Penis needs to stay in place and not wobble in the pants .

Follow my aftercare guide on my profile , it does wonders for the recovery and it works .

Hi Man, it's looking good keep going with the salt baths the swelling will go down gradually you could use some wet ice cubes and keep him upright as much as you can. but for only 8 days it's looking good.

Hey,

I’m in a similar position to you and at the same time too. My question is, I like you have swelling on the skin and this has left the stitch line / cut line kind of hidden below the skin. How did this effect your healing? Does it even out so that you get the smooth and flat look when erect and the swelling has gone.

I’m also fearing infection due to a slightly gooey look to the stitches below the skin edge.

Thanks.

How did it All end? I had the same “infection” as you? And when did that shit go away?

Not what you're looking for?
