Day 10

[Brian225]

Day 9 nothing really happen but day 10 think lost my first stitch. I think the others are starting to dissolve. Underwear still sucks but wondering is putting like ice pack intermittently good idea? Just in general when does putting on underwear not hurt as much?

[Hidden]

I am not sure that an ice pack is such a good idea or what it is supposed to achieve.

[Brian225 in reply to Hidden]

I thought maybe still hurts it might help.

What is the problem with underwear? None of the folk whom I personally know to have had an adult circumcision has had any problem with underwear.

Be sure to keep a wrap of gauze around the cut line until all the stitches are out to stop them catching on the underwear.

Are you trying to get away with boxers? Be sure to use close-fitting briefs to hold your penis still and, preferably, pointing upwards to drain off excess lymph.

No I been wearing tighter underwear. Think stitches part hurts and where swelling is at hurts. I haven't been putting on gauze

[S2BC in reply to Brian225]

Is it too hard you to use any gauze on it? Why won't you cover the incision site and protect the wound from friction.

[Brian225 in reply to S2BC]

I really wasn't sure how to put it on and my doctor just said put Vaseline that about it. I basically been at home except one time for appt so hasn't been an issue. So I'm just assuming u wrap it around incision area? I

[S2BC]

An ice pack won't be the best decision to use (for what) cause it will cool down the temperature on incision site. It's different case if you have an internal contusion like angle sprain > RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevation then.

Oh ok thx

[Jarredj225]

I use an cold gel pack at night to help with the night erections

[Hidden]

instead of icepacks, apply vaseline.

bring pocket size jar with you, reapply several times a day in toilet as needed.

Try to wear nothing from the waist down at home if you can as the air will help the healing and if you have to do as the others have said close fitting underwear and try to keep your penis in an upright position

[Brian225 in reply to Cutman]

Yeah now day 11 so I think only wore any type underwear twice. I'm hoping by next week I lose few more my stitches
