— Some of the swelling is still visible when my penis is flaccid, but not so much when it’s erect. I know the urologist told me that I could stop wrapping after a week and a half, but I read that continuing to wrap it will lessen the “swollen” look. I’ll keep doing that for about another week and see if it makes a difference.
I’m exactly 15 days out from my circ as well, a lot of my stitches have already fell out ... how’s your hypersensitivity if any? Mine still stings like crazy if I touch any clothes
A lot of my stitches have already fallen off too, but there’s still like 4-5 that are being stubborn 🤷🏼♂️ Hopefully they’ll be gone sometime this week.
As far as the sensitivity, I feel that wearing briefs vs wearing boxers help in the way that it keeps it from moving around while it’s healing and helps prevent any of those random stings. There’s still some days where it’ll rub against some clothes and will have me oozing out with pre-cum, but it’s all part of the process 😅
Thanks bro! 💯 — It’s not really noticeable from this angle, but some of the stitch marks have already faded on a couple areas. I’m hoping that within the next few weeks all the others will fade in too🤞🏼
Thanks!! And I’m hoping man! 🤞🏼I’ve successfully masturbated twice so far but it’s taken a while both times. 😅 It’s probably cause I’m thinking a tear might happen or a stitch might pop while I’m doing it lol

Here’s hoping you do no damage, or prolong the healing period, by masturbating far too early

Everyone is different and in no way do I encourage early post-op masturbation, but I think it all comes down to knowing your limits and doing so carefully. 😉

We do try to follow the oft-given medical instructions on such issues.
Looking goo Jake, and it’s recovering so quickly. You have a similar style cut to mine. But I think your scar is neater - where did you get your op done?
I couldn’t stand the pain my balls were in a week and a half post op... can’t imagine 6 weeks! 😳 I just made sure to go through with it very carefully.
Yea I get you. I go through several erections every night too
If you are getting pain in your testicles by not having sex you should be getting them checked out.

The feeling I’m referring to is most commonly known as having “blue balls”. — I’m sure you’re aware of the amount of erections a man will experience when his newly circ’d penis is touching everything it normally wasn’t exposed to. Of course after going through MANY of them to no climax, is when this feeling will begin to make itself evident. Pardon me for not clarifying that earlier.

“Blue balls” is commonly used to describe a period of no orgasm. However, this is should not involve pain. It is wrongly assumed that you have to get rid of the sperm and pain will result if you do not. It is, of course, a fallacy as any unused sperm are just absorbed back into the body and not stored longer than necessary in the testicles.

From what I know, the ache comes from the buildup of blood in the testicles caused by repeated arousal with the failure to orgasm in a given time.
Not sure how that’s not supposed to feel painful? Lol
But then again, everyone is different. 🤷🏼♂️

I believe that epididymal hypertension (blue balls) Is caused by an extended erection that does not lead to an orgasm rather than repeated erections that are not extended. That is why edging can make it more possible. If you are getting pain otherwise in the testicles then you may have a problem. For younger guys that is always worth investigating because of their greater risk of testicular cancer.

Whether it’d be one erection lasting 20 minutes or multiple lasting 5 minutes each, the end goal still isn’t getting accomplished, right? Ok.
Now, testicular cancer is often first self-diagnosed by feeling the presence of lumps on either testicle.. which I assure you is not the case. I also wouldn’t narrow down the risk of it to just younger guys as statistics prove that although rare, the age range for this cancer is between 14-60.
Regardless of our views, your observation and input is appreciated. — Have a great day Osidge. 👋🏼
There is a difference between lengthy erections with no orgasm and many short ones with no orgasm. Hence the link with edging.
I am pleased that you are sure you do not have testicular cancer. I had one mate who did find a lump when it was too big to avoid anything but removal of the whole testicle. My comment was meant in a general sense and public health messages are often aimed at younger men. It is a message we need to be giving constantly to help each other. I hope your recovery continues without problem. Take care.
