sensitivity

[rntl]

i had phimosis and its been 4 days since i had circumcision, how to reduce sensitivity. how can i go out because head touches the boxers and it starts paining

[Hidden]

Buy yourself a jockstrap (sports support) from any sports store.

Keeps things from moving around & rubbing.

[rntl in reply to Hidden]

for now i have put a gauze around it ,can i apply vaseline jelly around it?

[S2BC in reply to rntl]

Yes, the gauze won't adhere to wound and sutures that much, when using vaseline. You can put petroleum jelly on to wound area or to gauze. Remember: wash your hands first.

[rntl in reply to S2BC]

the problem is i get erection and it wakes me up and i cant sleep after that for a long time and when i sleep again ,then again erection happens in dreams, is this normal?

[Hidden in reply to rntl]

Absolutely normal but things will get better over the next couple of weeks

[At1012 in reply to Hidden]

I was thinking of this, but this could cause more problems because having anything touching the glans would be painful. Boxer shorts with coconut oil and baggy clothing is the key. I have issues tucking my clothes in and wearing belts.

Put a gaze around the stitches.

I would wait with the vaseline until the wound is healed.

You can also put a gauze around the sensitive glans.

Vaseline is good loose boxers

after how many days i wont require gauze?

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

I am on day 10 and when I go out, I still put on gauze - mainly to prevent the discomfort from the stitches, but otherwise, I let me penis air out and get used to having no foreskin when at home! As Cirkdone says, positioning the penis upright does also help greatly to reduce swelling and keep it comfortable!

[rntl in reply to LSpatient]

i did not understand the concept of upright of penis does it means that the angle between penis and our naval should be 90degree or the head of the penis should be in the direction of our head

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

It means face the tip of your penis towards your chest! So just bring it up as though you would have an erection if I can put it that way, and angle it towards your chest with the top of the glans resting on your pubic area and the bottom where your frenulum is facing the sky

[rntl in reply to LSpatient]

but then if i walk or move then the penis will automatically go down as gravity will act upon it,hm?

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

Try mainly doing this when you lie down, naturally and then when you have to walk around and do things, wrap the stitches and glans in gauze if need be and wear tight fitting underwear to keep it in place, angling it downwards as usual, this will significantly help

[rntl in reply to LSpatient]

thank you so much,do you have any workaround for not getting erection in sleep,it hurts and happen several time in night ,is this normal?

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

The best thing I've found to do is drink NOTHING before sleeping and empty your bladder before sleeping. Also find the most comfortable position that when lying down feels like it won't induce any erections. For me this has been lying on my back as lying on my side causes erections. Also, try angling your penis upwards when you sleep. I still wrap mine in gauze when I sleep which helps to not cause any rubbing which could lead to an erection

[rntl in reply to LSpatient]

thank you so much

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

Pleasure my dude

[rntl in reply to LSpatient]

can i drive after a week from circumcision?

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

It all depends on how you're feeling - it's case-to-case! I drove after day 8 with some discomfort! I'll be driving again today on day 10 and I believe it will be better! Just going to keep things bandaged

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

I know it can be scary and feels like it will never improve but remember that MILLIONS of men go through this and they make it out just fine!

[rntl in reply to LSpatient]

exactly it feels the same,i cry at night when i cant sleep, i have to divert my mind and play mobile games, after it is flaccid i sleep and after one hour erection occurs again

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

I'm sorry it's been a painful experience for you - I have been very fortunate and haven't had it that bad, I havent had to take a single painkiller! You can view my profile to see my post and story! That's the best thing to do - just distract yourself until its flaccid! Follow my tips on avoiding erections and you should see an improvement!

[rntl in reply to LSpatient]

yes i will do this ,thank you again

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

Pleasure!

[rntl in reply to LSpatient]

there is some bad smell coming out ,why?

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

There shouldn't be a bad smell... I'd say put on some antibacterial ointment and contact your doctor to have him have a look in case of infection

[rntl in reply to LSpatient]

i have applied ointment and i think that ointment mixed with urine leak is causing the bed smell

[At1012 in reply to rntl]

Try using extra virgin unrefined organic coconut oil. It has helped me greatly.

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

Make sure to empty your bladder frequently

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

No stress!

[LSpatient in reply to rntl]

If you need help, I can show you how liberal it when going out. I also have Lichen Sclerosus so the tip of my glans is hyper sensitive and so I have adapted a way of wrapping it to make it possible to walk when out

[S2BC]

At this moment the gauze is a shield for your wound if there is still some discharge. You don't have to use any gauze (over the glans) if you'll bear the friction and touch already.

[youngman1969]

Everyone is different about the boxers etc ,loose was good for me

[LSpatient]

Hi there! What I found really helped is just keeping the head bandaged until it slowly got a bit more used to not having the foreskin. After that, I slowly introduced it to rubbing against my pants. Using some kind of moisturizer such as Vaseline or Aquaphor does help too! You'll get used to it sooner than you know!

[Fin1214]

Any updates? How is it doing after 2 months?

[rntl in reply to Fin1214]

yeah it's fine now, stitches are dissolved fully, only the ridge is there at incision line, i think it will take longer to heal

[Fin1214 in reply to rntl]

What day would you say the hypersensitivity went away?

[rntl in reply to Fin1214]

it went away in 2 weeks
