My questions about circumcision?

[Harris091]

I got circumcised yesterday and these are my questions:

-How long until the swelling goes up to normal?

-how long until I can have baths again?

-how long until I can masturbate

-When will sensitivity go down? cause the head is so sensitive.

😁

Did you not get post-op information from your surgeon?

[Harris091 in reply to Hidden]

No I didn’t I got handed a letter but didn’t tell me half the stuff I wanted know.

1. Swelling didn’t start getting better after week 1 and all better until about a month!

2. After 3 days I removed my gauze and was able to take a shower, not a bath.

3. Masturbation! It is suggested to wait 6-8 weeks. I masturbated after week 2 but was very gentle and only massaged my glans. Just enough to get some relief!

4. Sensitivity: after I removed my gauze I basically laid around the house wearing loose shorts to get my glans accustomed to my shorts. It is quite uncomfortable. But it took about 3-4 weeks until I was comfortable

I didn’t get a gauze, I’ve going to buy one tomorrow and shall I wear it for couple days??

I also had my op yesterday and as long as there is no leaking then I’d say there is no need for a gauze. Mine fell off last night and I’ve had no need for it. Just keep it clean.

[Harris091 in reply to Ian_]

Alright I’ve been bleeding but it’s gradually slowing down and stopping.

[Carl33 in reply to Harris091]

I removed my gauze after 3 days which is when I started applying Neosporin 3 times a day to prevent infection.

[Harris091 in reply to Hidden]

Yes but if only asked about my anaesthetic and any health conditions and checked me out.

Circumcision wound can heal faster with a gauze.

Had mine done round this time last year, I have showers, had the first one a day later ,used vaseline on head for a few days, with boxers on, as for wanking, leave it alone for 6 weeks

[Harris091 in reply to youngman1969]

Why use Vaseline? And yeah I’ve been having 1-2 showers a day and wearing just boxes around the house.

[youngman1969]

I believe this help with the healing process
