Stitch tunnels after adult circumcision

I am almost 70. Was circumcised in January 2017 - felt my foreskin was too long and interfered with sex.

Had the circumcision done at the same time I was having an orchidopexy to fix my right testis that I had accidentally caused to rise up in the inguinal canal while stretching to balance a 5.8m barge board while I was high up on a ladder. Painful.

I have one large tunnel and 6 or 7 smaller ones, all to the right of the raphe.

Can be a job to keep clean and I am thinking of asking my urologist to snip them open when I see him soon for my biennial checkup.

Do I regret the decision to circumcise? Sometimes, I think I should have cut less, and had a little skin over the corona to increase/maintain the sensitivity prior to the cut.

Do you have a question for the forum?

some procedures/treatments missing:

orchidopexy

ruptured acchilles tendon

in reply toCircAdultdone

Neither of these are penis related - particularly a ruptured Achilles Tendon! They would be appropriate to the main forum and not this Penis Health forum.

I agree - Sorry, the query was made while filling in my profile, and you just happened to be a handy moderator that I approached. I'll check the main forum and update frome there.

Also, is there a way to correct the typo in my post? Should be Stitch

Yes, you can correct your typos. Take a look that "More" text under your post, if you are on computer.
