Hi Guys,

I thought I’d share my experience of Circumcision with you. If found this forum really helpful, so thought I’d my experience could help anyone else then that would be great.

I had a condition called Bxo which you can see in my photo, it a skin condition that causes scar tissue to form. Basically it made the retraction of my foreskin really painful which didn’t make sex much fun. After swing my dr a couple of time I saw an NHS urologist who said that circumcision was the only way to fully resolve. Concerned regarding who would do the operation and their experience I decided to have it done privately at the London Circumcision center. Everything went smoothly and I followed my aftercare instructions and here i am today a month later.

I did not experience any lasting pain. Local anaesthetic was not nice and some night time erections hurt. It has been more uncomfortable than painful but I’m now getting used to it. All in all it been a straightforward experience.

Thanks to all those in the forum whose post have been really helpful. Any questions feel free to ask.

Stellar result mate . Glad you are going well . Rub Bio Oil 2 times a day for proper recovery . At least 3 months .

Hi Ed, you have healed really well for only one month it's a very good result it looks to be high and tight cut and there's no sign of any BXO circumcision should be curative for THIS, having phimosis with BXO is not nice. I would continue to use some bio oil it should help

Ed84 in reply toMrMac99

Yeah not too sure about the style of cut, I think it was just what the surgeon needed to do to get the scaring away. I’ve been using the bio oil, I’ve found it makes me itch on the scar for a while afterwards, is this normal?

MrMac99 profile image
MrMac99 in reply toEd84

Yeah it looks good anyhow I'm sure your surgeon only removed the amount of foreskin needed you did go to one of the best clinics. The Bio-Oil shouldn't really make it itchy I'm sure you are still healing and it can itch then. if it's not too severe I wouldn't worry. Did you have the BXO for long?

Ed84 in reply toMrMac99

Thanks, yes your probably right. I think I noticed the bxo around a year before was circ’d

MrMac99 profile image
MrMac99 in reply toEd84

You're at the right side of it now though. Bxo can be slow but progressive and creams usually don't cure it.

Yeah, really happy James, I wouldn’t have had the procedure done if it wasn’t on medical grounds, but I’m ok with it.

Very nice circumcision. How far can you pull the shaft skin over the glans while flaccid? While erect?

Ed84 profile image
Ed84 in reply toAt1012

Thanks man, maybe half way when soft and a bit less when hard.

your shaft skin is so nice and smooth. The shaft skin on your penis was completely left intact, which will keep your testicles relaxed, which is extremely important. Your uncut penis was very nice as well. Also it appears that you have kept all of the smooth mucosal tissue on your penis.

Wonderful result !! I get circumcised by the same surgeon on the 25th for aesthetic choice, I want the same result, a little loose when flacid but tight in erection.

Ed84 in reply toflorian13

Good for you florian13. He’s very experienced. Are you going to get him to remove your frenulum? Mine was removed as it was scared, but I still have lots of sensitivity there however I know that’s not the case for everyone. Good luck with it.

florian13 profile image
florian13 in reply toEd84

my frenulum is already gone! I only have a small, barely visible scar which is the most sensitive area of my penis.

Can you post a picture of your erect penis to see if it's really tight? And the proportion of internal foreskin that remains compared to the external

Ed84 profile image
Ed84 in reply toflorian13

Oh, ok have you had it removed in the past? I haven’t got any photos of me hard, I’ll try take one soon and I’ll pm you.

florian13 profile image
florian13 in reply toEd84

Yes it was removed a long time ago ...

try to post the erect photo before the 25th so I can show Dr Khan what I want ;)

in reply toflorian13

There is no need to ask for people to post pictures

florian13 in reply to

sorry my request is only to have a model to ask the surgeon for a similar result, i will see the same surgeon (dr khan) on january 25 and we have a similar anatomy, there are no bad intentions in my request and i will post before / after photos when my circumcision has taken place.

in reply toflorian13

I am sure that a discussion with Dr Khan will produce the result you want. There is no obligation on you to post your pics unless it will assist the forum to give you support. As to using pics of other guys outside the forum??? There are plenty of pictures of penises on the internet if you want to supply a pic to your surgeon.

florian13 in reply to

ok ok I totally understand your point of view. from my point of view I am French to explain to Dr Khan what I want is simpler with photos of his patients (and not photos of men who may have been circumcised at birth in the USA .. .). I’m not going on sites with penis photos, I just asked for help to be sure to make myself understood.

Stop I don't ask for anything more, it doesn't matter, I'll manage on my own!!

in reply toflorian13

There are many pictures of penises of various kinds already on this forum. Feel free to search the forum.

florian13 in reply to

yes I have already seen and commented but no anatomy is as close to mine that's why I allowed myself to ask for an additional photo but I did not oblige it and I will not renew this request, I respect his choice.

Ed84 in reply toflorian13

The dr is very skilled and knowledgeable, I think you’ll find he will give you exactly what you want, just from talking. You could always chat to him on the phone first as I did to discuss. All the best with it.

florian13 in reply toEd84

thank you for these extremely reassuring messages, i'm stressed i'm going all alone i was very hesitant to make an appointment but i want to be circumcised since i'm 14, i'll soon be 34...

I am French, I speak English but I am afraid of not finding all the words to explain, this is why I will show photos to the Dr ;)

Beautifully circumcised. I was recently re-circumcised, after foolishly restoring my foreskin. Hope I get the same results you did.

For those who are not aware of it, Dr Khan is an NHS Specialist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.

Hi man, how long does it take for complete healing ? (No swelling)

Ed84 profile image
Ed84 in reply toCutcock123

Maybe around a month, but then if your rough with it i find that the inner skin swells up a little bit and takes a day of so to go back down. However i think it varies hugely between different guys.

How are you now?

Ed84 profile image
Ed84 in reply toJack1985

Doing good thanks. I would say 80% of the time it just feels normal, as it I don’t notice / or am aware of anything. The rest of the time I notice it but it not uncomfortable.

Jack1985 profile image
Jack1985 in reply toEd84

Is it still swollen?

NICE looking circumcision. BEAUTIFULLY exposed glans. Your surgeon did an excellent job of removing your foreskin. Thanks for posting.
