Circumcision recovery

Day three of circumcision and today I finally took off my bandages then had a warm shower. My penis is obviously swollen but no serious pain if left alone. I sit naked on my bed and put my penis facing my belly button. Whenever I need to get some food I put on my underpants to keep the penis upright but it is really uncomfortable. Am I doing anything wrong so far??

I did not try to keep my penis upright at all times. I normally wear loose boxers and after my circumcision jut loose soccer pants. I’m on day 18 and recovery is going very well regardless. The pressure of tight-fitting underwear cause too much discomfort. I also can’t lie on my stomach yet.

I was exactly the same as you back then. I am now on my 9th week and am pretty much 99% there. Everything has worked out.

I managed somehow to keep my penis upright by using a clean sock or an underwear between scrotum and penis shaft (like U-shape) and wear then boxer briefs.

You can always support recent wound edges by using gauze on it.

Thats normal. I felt the same. Try different ways to keep it upright. I Tried tying a cloth around waist and just placed my penis on the cloth. It was little less uncomfortable.

Sounds okay to me. I'm in week 4. I was more comfortable with it hanging rather than upright. I don't need a gauze anymore but for weeks 1-3 I was wearing gauze if I had to put on underwear/pants. I currently prefer wearing boxer-briefs rather than boxers (incision line rubs against flyer opening too much) or briefs (too tight).

Since you in week four are basically fine in terms of that you can start gyming,your stitches have fallen off and you dont have irritating erections

Not what you're looking for?
