Day 7 - question on stitches and purple glans

[mcguc]

Good progress being made - nearly all swelling has gone and sensitivity hasn’t been as consistently bad as I thought.

One thing I’m still struggling with is pain/discomfort with nocturnal erections - woke up three times last night. How long does this typically last?

Picture included which shows progress being made - with most of the healing needed underneath. I can’t really spot where the stitches are in order to see when they are dissolving/falling out. I thought there would be small knots that would fall out. I want to monitor the stitches so advice on what to look out for would be grateful.

Finally, I’ve noticed that the ring right at the base of the glans has been going a bit purple. You can notice it very slightly in the picture on the left, but last night it was very purple and gave me a bit of a fright! Is this normal?

Any other thoughts or observations welcomed.

For the erections, try getting up and going to the bathroom to pee as soon as you feel one coming on. Sitting down to pee is easier with an erection. It should help make it go away.

Are they painful erections? I noticed that my scar line got tight around day 20ish and erections hurt for a while until the scar tissue and new skin started to stretch

Yes they are quite painful. I do get up to go and pee to make them go down but I find moving difficult as it makes the erection twitch and therefore more painful!

Any thoughts on this much appreciated.

One further development today is that one side of the ring beneath the head has swelled up a lot and feels a bit sore. Going to monitor it this evening and see where I’m at tomorrow. Hopefully nothing going wrong..

Dude that honestly looks incredible for only 1 week out, never seen such rapid recovery. They circumcised you really well, man, where and why did you get clipped?

You look really good!
