Post Circumcision Stitches (2 days)

Nobodyinparticular profile image

I got circumcised 2 days ago due to having phimosis and I'm concerned that the swelling has caused the stitches to break/come loose.

As some of the stitches have broken so quickly, will this stop my penis from healing properly?

Any advise or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Have you lost a lot of stitches?

I wouldn't say a lot, but it's a few together under the shaft.

Hey bud. If you’re losing too many of them or you see that the skin where they fell is open, maybe bleeding to much or something give your doctor a Call :) I lost some stitches a couple of days after the surgery, went to get it checked from my doctor and he just gave me a cream I had to use and told me they would heal by themselves after some time :)

It’s better if you reach out to him just to be safe :)

Thanks for the insight.

There isn't any bleeding or anything, but the skin does feel a bit loose. The swelling is 'plugging the gap', so to speak where the stitches were.

I might be subconsciously comparing to before the surgery which I can't imagine is helpful, but I think I was hesitant to waste a doctor's time in a climate like this!

But you're right, it's better to be safe.
