Is this normal? Post circumcision

[Mathguy09]

It’s been 8 days of the operation, it is normal that I can’t see the front stitches ? they are like under my skin it’s weird because it isn’t too swollen

[Mathguy09]

I haven’t seen the front stitches on the 8 days that I have with the operation

[Hidden]

wow, look very neat. congrats.

I see you heal very nicely.

afaik, stitch will dissolve by itself, nothing to worry.

[Mathguy09 in reply to Hidden]

It still hurts when I have an erection it’s normal ?

[Hidden in reply to Mathguy09]

it's normal.

people here experience pain even weeks after circumcision.

[xhardwarex in reply to Mathguy09]

Agreed. Normal. My erections weren't totally comfortable for about 4 weeks. Your healing looks very good.

[MrKenny in reply to Mathguy09]

Yes erections will be painful

[roddythescot]

You clearly actually have quite a lot of swelling of the retained inner foreskin (that bit between the glans and the line of stitches) so that is what's hiding your view of the stitches.

Can you gently ease the shaft skin back to expose the stitch line? Don't worry if you can't though and don't force it.

Remember that full healing will take 6-8 weeks and you are only 1 week in at present. Once the stitches dissolve, or are removed, after 10-12 days, the swelling will reduce more and things will be much more comfortable.

I can’t expose the Stitch line I’m scared because I haven’t seen the stitches since the first day of the operation and I’m worried that they trapped under my skin

[Hidden in reply to Mathguy09]

Don’t worry about this, the stitches are made of a special material that gets absorbed by body tissue. What’s left exposed on the surface (knots and any trailing threads) then drop off. In my case this happened between three and five weeks.

Looks great for day 8. Where did you go for your circumcision?

[Gridlocked]

Great job, what type of cut did you have, low and tight?

[Hidden]

Hi looks great for 8 days but it is Normal when you get erections to hurt you will be ok in 2 or 3 weeks but you must take care keep him clean good luck

[anon2508 in reply to Hidden]

what is your daily cleaning advise are shower gels ok ?

[uncutforesk]

For 8 days post circumcision your penis appears to have healed well. BEAUTIFULLY exposed glans. Your scar is very circular. Your surgeon did an excellent job of removing your foreskin. Thanks for the post.

But the problem is I can’t expose the Stitch line I’m scared because I haven’t seen the stitches since the first day of the operation and I’m worried that they trapped under my skin is this bad ?
