I'll be sharing my experience and what I went through with everyone. Hopefully this helps someone who is about to go through the procedure.
This coming Friday I'll be at 7 weeks post op. Things have improved greatly. 7 weeks seemed so far away since the beginning. I got circumcised because of phimosis. This made it very difficult for sexual activities.
When I first removed the wrapping on my penis, I felt so relieved but be warned. You will feel discomfort and pain when you remove the bandages. I had the last layer of the bandage stick to one of my stitches. The pain was immense. The first week was horrible for me. I lost so much sleep. I slept sitting up with my head on a table as if I was eating dinner. This kept going well into the 2nd week.
I stayed naked all day and all night. Over time the glanf began to dry up. The hyper sensitivity will be something you need to overcome. But do not rush it. Over time it will get better. Many people here swear by the natural oil and petroleum jelly. I didnt use any of that. My doctor recommended me to not use anything. Before you take anyone's advice. Make sure you consult your doctor first. (Not trying to bash on anyone!)
Its important to keep yourself busy through all this. I played my Xbox and my Nintendo switch throughout my stay. If I needed to get up to use the restroom, I would simply use some loose shorts and shove my hands inside to create space in-between my penis and the fabric. You'll look silly, but its better than the discomfort you'll get. Make sure you cover the top part well! You don't want family members seeing your willy on accident!!
By the 4th week I was able to start sleeping normally. I was also able to use boxer breifs for the first time in a month. It was still uncomfortable but I tricked my mind into thinking the feeling I would get, was a pleasure feeling instead of a discomfort feeling.
On the 5th week I was able to walk around almost normally with light weight shorts. I also took my first steps outside.
The 6th week, my stitches finally fell off completely. I was also able to start work without panicking of the thought that something might go wrong.
My process took a while longer than others. But I was in no hurry. Time is the best healer. Don't rush something that cannot be rushed. Enjoy your time and don't beat yourself up. You WILL get through this. Just how I did and everyone before me did. Its okay to be nervous, but starting a new chapter in your life will also be exciting. Take a deep breath and say "This is only temporary"
To everyone who is about to begin or anyone losing hope, this is for you. You are strong and brave. Keep your head up. Good luck guys. I know you can do it.
