So ive been reading alot on here and decided to put a post to see if anybody can relate. Im a 21 year old who had phimosis and (tight foreskin could not go over head of penis), balanitis etc. Always knew my penis wasnt quiet right but put it off for a long time until it became painful etc. Got Circumcised and im now on day 5. Not actually as bad as i imagined. Apart from the erections at night and crazy sensitivity due to never having my glans out in my life. It even freaks me out to look at it LOL. Most of the time i have been chilling naked as I attemped to wear the jock strap on day 3 after finally unravelling the bandage and washing but it stuck to it (fucking painful). Now i have noticed what looks like the glans drying? I thought it was infected but according to other posts on here other people experience it too? Should i just leave it or pick at it i dunno. Anybody that can relate to anything ive said or any info please reply the doctors barely told me anything apart from stay off work and recover for a week.
Thanks

Also Confirmed i had penile frenulum tearing which resulted in the penis bleeding occasionally which also scared the shit out of me when i first realised it. So anybody else with this problem dont worry your not alone! GET CIRCUMCISED BRO
I recommend Melolin dressing loosely held in place to catch any spots of blood you may still have.
Thanks alot I have noticed some minor bleeding so that will come in handy. And as for briefs i have attempted too but havent been able to withstand how sensitive my penis is at the moment so ive spent most time naked! Will try again tomorrow, can feel myself getting less sensitive and adapting more to it each day. 👍
From my experience, tight underwear was the most comfortable as it held my penis firmly and prevented any friction. Hope your recovery continues well. Salt baths are a great at aiding healing. Best wishes. Sine
Thanks alot! When wearing tight underwear would u use creams/oil to stop the glans from sticking to them?
I was done years ago, but from memory I did the same as you, and stayed naked for as long as possible, had salt baths which helped to dry up the area, so by the time I started to dress and return to work, sticking was no longer an issue. Mind you, I was signed off for two weeks, so I had longer to recover; maybe ask your doctor for a few days longer before returning to work? I know that doesn't really answer your question, but I guess if using some form of emollient helps, then give it a try. My biggest problem was learning to handle myself again; as you said it's effin' painful initially, but persevere and you'll be fine. Sine
Thankyou so much for advice bro nice to know somebody elses experience as this isnt something you can really talk to anyone about!
It’s always possible to talk to people. The problem with a lot of guys is that they will not. That is why so many men die with late diagnosed cancers as not only will they not talk to family or mates, they will not even go and see a doctor.

There is another side, Osidge, and that is that the man may be prepared to talk, but their family is not and dismisses their legitimate concerns with a 'you're being a hypochondriac', 'you're paranoid'.
Yes, that is normal. I used coconut oil and that helps me. I had mine done 4 weeks today. The pain I had was sore. When I got hard of a night time I was worried. But the doctor said that, that's fine as long as you don't act on it. I found that if I wore loosen boxers and jogging pants which helps when you need to go out. I wear tight clothes now. Which is a bonus. Its normal i have never had my head out also. But it's getting better now with sensitivity.
Thanks nice to hear from someone that experienced same thing I am. Gonna look into coconut oil and yeah starting to feel some soreness now Too.. night erections are horrible but just gotta deal with it i suppose! Cheers mate
I'm in my 34 day post circumcision. The things that you are relating, are normal. I remember that the first 2 weeks, i saw everything: the scar with some blood, then the scar with some "yellow" liquid and obviously dry blood. After that, in the beggining of the 3rd week, i started to use pants hahaha. The best thing in the first days, is to ventilate the circumcition. Sorry for my english, i'm argentinian
I sleep naked on my back which is annoying kus i always sleep on my front so already trouble. Prepare for bein awaken by boners throughout the night, fucking painful. Try to not drink alot before sleep and make sure to piss to help that. Im on day 7 now so if you need any more advice message me👍
Haha the good old times! Yes make sure you stay naked most of the time and when you need to move try to bear the pain or sensation without any dressing because it will make the glans stronger to the touch. Tight underwear will do and make sure you put some Vaseline on it
