Question about healing 6 weeks post circumcision

Hey everyone,

So I just passed the 6 week mark this morning. This my status:

Bruising is mostly gone on the head. That's been bothering me the most recently. It's quite uncomfortable, but I think in a few days it should resolve. Finally could stop wrapping my penis in gauze a couple days back.

Sutures all gone and scar line has fused. However, it's still raised with those small bumps between were the sutures dissolved. I assume that will flatten more?

The most concerning symptom is my penis is still about 1 inch shorter erect. It also gets pulled more to the left than usual. It's not drastic, but it's there.

I can't masturbate because the bruising ruins it and kills my erection, but hopefully I'm close.

Any of these sound normal?

I appreciate the help :D

What’s up Valhalla I had my circumcision October 10, 2018 and I experienced the same thing you experience my penis is about an inch and a half shorter than it was before the surgery that’s probably my only complaint is that I think they should’ve sutured me lower on the shaft.

That's crazy yours still hasn't improved in 2 years. Scary, in fact. Sorry to hear that. I won't tolerate it if it doesn't improve :( Yeah, I mean it went through a process where even flaccid it became tiny. But over these 6 weeks my flaccid size has returned to normal. My erect size has improved slightly, so that gives me hope it'll continue. It's just far from what it was.

Oh also I wanted to tell you that when fully erect the skin still feels very tight and it is a little bit painful still I guess that’s probably just the way it’s going to be and I’ve come to except it I’m not really sure how yours will experience but I was able to masturbate three weeks after my circumcision.

Same on the tightness. I believe that's why it's pulling left too. Thankfully, it's not tight and numb anymore. Right now I'm not as surprised by the wound line. I knew that would take time. I'm more curious why my bruise is healing so slow and why I lost so much length. Lol i'm still uncomfortable in underwear unless it's very tight.

Not what you're looking for?
