5 weeks today update...

I'm hoping this will be encouraging for those of you who have problems or worries after circumsicion. My issues were heavy bleeding, 3 extra hospital trips resulting in a second surgery for a big blood clot and popped stiches.

After perseverance though things are infinitely better at 5 weeks. The two main helps have been salt baths (actually in the bath with dead sea salt) and coconut oil on my helmet. I have no real sensitivity issues whilst wearing clothes apart from a tad beside the frenulum. Length seems to be returning to normal as well after feeling like it wanted to retract back into my body for weeks.

Cut and scar is pretty neat considering two surgeries also. Hope this provides encouragement for those of you having a tough time and worrying. Those first few weeks can be horrible!

Wow looks great man! Congrats. Glad it all worked out well!

That’s looking really good. Glad it’s all progressing well.

Looking good man! How's the sensitivity on the scarline? That's the only issue I'm having at the moment. I had stitches pop both top and bottom, and had two re-stitches either side of the frenulum so it's only just closed over. Could you have a look at my latest post and tell me what you think? Would be much appreciated!

Yes the first couple weeks are the most challenging, but things do settle down.

Glad you are happy now.

I kinda do have a problem with circumcision...they took too much when I was a baby!

Thanks for the kind comments. I was really worried in the initial weeks. Looked like frankensteins pet monster down there and had the usual worries of had things been messed up! Obviously the complications and repeat hospital trips didn't help that but I stayed positive.

I am going to go as far as to say I'm starting to like it better now. I like the clean look, it is certainly more hygienic for me (I had fairly bad phimosis and bxo) and it seems as if my glans has grown and flared out creating quite a pleasing aesthetic effect.

A lot of people report that the glans penis flares out after circumcision. Not saying it always happens but it certainly happened to me after my second circumcision, and our sons’ glans penises are noticeable large. Really glad that you are pleased with how your penis looks now.

Will post a better lighted picture again soon as that one is a bit dark but yes - after a terrible start it appears to be a success story and I feel liberated and brand new in that area of my life actually. Not saying either way is best but fir me this was definitely the right decision.

I also seem to have the opposite result to a lot on her in regards to urination. Whereas I always used to be known as the guy who peed on the floor at parties etc due to phimosis, I now seem to have gained urinating superpowers! I can literally stand about two feet away from the toilet and shoot it in there with laser like accuracy - it's great fun haha!

I hope mine looks as good as yours when I have it done.

Thank you. In the early stages I never thought I would receive a comment like that as it looked really awful. I'm sure you'll be fine and try not to worry too much.

I bet that baby looks great when it stands up straight. Nice crown and great lowhangers (balls).

You’ve given me some hope. I had to have two hematomas removed, which left a cavity. Wound had to be packed daily, which is still ongoing 9 weeks after procedure. Totally lost my length, sensitivity is zero, and certainly messed with my mind. Would post pictures, but doesn’t seem to give me that option.

in reply toErectile

Sorry to hear that and your plight is exactly why I chose to post this. It really does mess with your mind but it WILL be ok in the end.

Have seen my post about length loss? It really concerns me. I’m 8 weeks post circumcision & still having to visit a nurse three times a week. No length & certainly no chance of sex or masturbation ☹️

Certainly looks quite nice now.
