12 DAYS POST CIRC, NEED ADVICE

[Cutter24]

New to the Site just needed some feedback

I am 25 and I t’s been 12 days since the surgery and no pain or discomfort. Erections feel good and stitches are slowing dissolving, However they give a slight pinching sensation when penis is laying a certain way.

My only concern is the shaft area which still seems more swollen then the rest of the area.

Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Also how much longer will it take for my stitches to dissolve? Pinch feeling is very irritating and in some instances the area will bleed a little through the gauze because of the pressure from stitches combined with my movements (I am still working at my job)

I have wore a cup to work to protect my penis from getting pinched by stitches but it proved to be uncomfortable and was very noticeable that my walk was funny at work so I stopped wearing the cup. Do I continue to apply Vaseline and A&D to help with care.

Welcome. Have you noticed there is a Search function on upper right corner of this site. You can find answers to all your questions.

Yes. No. Petroleum jelly and dressing support the incision line from friction and stretching. What do you think, do they help then?

Thanks, yea I feel like it is helping tremendously

You can't just take amoxicillin antibiotic for joy and glory. It is not very smart suggestion. Here in Europe you need doctor's prescription for antibiotics. You can not buy them from grocerys like candy.

Respectfully, you are abusing the purpose of antibiotics there and in the long term they will stop working for all of us. Always take the full course and only when you need them. I have taken antibiotics twice in my life.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

If you take an antibiotic when you have a cold or flu then you are acting dangerously. Antiobiotics have no effect on viral problems which colds and flu are. Abusing antiobiotics like this can render them ineffective when you really do need them. Taking amoxicillin for two days achieved nothing. Any further dangerous advice like this and your account will be restricted.

[Steve1986 in reply to Cutter24]

Yes i tried the coconut oil and on the glans and I also apply it all over my penis and that helped me. I wear loose underwear also
