Nah you can do a mild salt bath at that stage. As for the tightness that will get better, depends how much they cut off. Did you have the frenulum removed?

Hey man I feel your pain, we’re basically both right on track with the amount of days, especially the turtling. I talked to my doctor and he said it’s normal for some men because our bodies are recovering from trauma. He advice just to make sure I retract the head back out 4 times a day or more just to get that skin to stretch . Also erections although painful can be your friend in this issue. You should be okay man, just keep pushing it out.

Apply some numbing creme and then do it. It should help.

For me being circumcised since last year now I have turtling when sitting down but laying down it’s soft normal. I kinda hate that about being cut. But yeah.

Oh wow I actually way more than you guys, I weigh 290lbs but I also hold a lot of muscle mass. Either way it’s very common according to my doctor for this to happen. Just keep pulling it out as often as you can. Once I started doing that daily (only 2 days now” it stays out on its own at times.

Either way it just goes back inside the 'shell' sometimes when im laying down it comes out sometimes when I am just sitting down I can feel it come out and come in on its own its very different lol

Mine was done with surgical grade glue, so it’s a little different. But I have a lot of bad swelling. Not much bleeding, it looks pretty good but just lots of swelling right under the head.

Not what you're looking for?
