Hey everyone, I just had my Circumcision 1 week ago today. The reason I had it done was phimosis, it was getting to the point where I would be unable to urinate because it’s so tight. Anyways I just had a few questions...
1. How long until the erections stopped hurting and you were able to “relieve” yourself lol
2. I have dissolvable stitches and I was wondering how long they usually take to completely go away
3. Gross warning btw.... I had some discharge or pus form on the tip of my glans, beside the urethra. I went back to my urologist and he said this was normal and will go away, it’s starting to subside a bit but it’s still there.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

1) night time and normal erections usually hurt up till 2 weeks or but but after that it becomes very bearable and disappears. Limit fluid intake after 6pm and lay on your sides and bring your legs up to your chest or put a damp cloth on yourself if you feel like you are getting a painful erection .
2) Stitches may take up to almost 2-3 weeks as well and if it stays beyond 5 weeks I would suggest you to get it removed by the doc .
3) what you probably saw was lymph which is also yellow and normal for the body to ooze . It will be present for around 10 days also . Just keep a lookout for any abnormal yellow thick/curdy discharge and or bloodstained pus.
Also you might bleed a little for a few days . If it's too much you should definitely meet your doc and staunch the bleed with a clean dressing .
Btw all the above timings are arbitary and it's the case for most and always stay hygienic while taking care of the site . All the best !
Hello everyone!! I m 35yo and this is my 7th day post op . Circumcision because of phimosis.
My only problem is the hypersensitivity of penis glans, cant even touch the head of penis right now. How much time will it take for the sensitivity to go .
Week 1 is still way early in the stages. I'm barely heading towards my 2nd week. Expect to feel sensitivity for a while longer. The bruising should go down a bit later on. I also have the discharge of fluids that come out. Its normal, dont freak out. We're taking this journey together.
I completely understand. I stay naked everyday and I lock myself in my room. I use shorts when i stepp outside. But I use my hands to create a space in between my shorts and penis.
Thanks man!! That gives me some relief.... I m also doing the same thing.... I m sitting naked since the day bandage was removed haven't even tried to wear a shorts yet...
Dont push it. We're still in the early stages. No need to rush what cant be rushed. Let the little guy free lol who knows when the next time he'll be free like this. Enjoy your time.
Thanks bro !! Your words give me some relief. Idk how long will it take to be normal. But as i m reading more about this, some people are saying i might take a month or so....
I had my check up on friday. Doctor says I'm healing well. He told me to keep the penis exposed so the gland dries up faster. Everything is going well. I'm being to get erect more often and honestly it feels good. The journey is long but it will be worth the struggle.
Hi... Completed 2 weeks today... But the glan is still very very sensitive... I m loosing my mind .. when will i be able to wear shorts or anything.. although the wound is healing well and no signs of infection there
Yesterday I was able to put some tight fitted underwear. But I'm using the work out underwear. The ones that you put under your shorts. Slowly it's getting better
