9 weeks post op, wider but shorter erections

Hello. I’m now going on 9 weeks post op for circumcision. I can walk with no real discomfort and even jog, so that’s all good. However, erection are somewhat bigger in girth for some reason and easily about an inch shorter, maybe more. I suspect this may be due to the skin close to the glans being much tighter than before? Any insights on this are welcome....

It would seem that you still have some swelling following your circumcision (which is not unusual at 9 weeks) and this is making your erections 'wider'.

The apparent shortening of your erect penis is probably simply because the skin is being used to provide the 'width' and all will return to normal once the swelling fully subsides.

On the other hand, if you asked for a fully 'tight' cut, with no extra looseness when erect, your skin may not have completely adjusted to this and is temporarily restricting the increase in length on erection. This should also settle down shortly.

Be aware though that even the shortest penis is perfectly adequate for all it has to do. Now that your glans rim is permanently exposed, you will give more stimulation (and hence pleasure) to your partner anyway.
