Day 6 circumcision recovery.

I am on my day 6 of recovery, my penis was releasing yellow and watery discharge since two days, it seemed to dry up today and it has formed scabs around the incision site.

Is this normal?

Also I use paraffin wax guaze to dress my wound after applying antibiotic oinment daily, should I stop using paraffin wax since it's too moisty, I think it makes my incision moisty too.

Hey bud. About that yellowish liquid yeah, it’s normal for it to be present, dry up and it’ll eventually disappear, so don’t worry about it. You just have to watch out there’s no bad small from it. But it seems it’s all going well for you :)

I’m not sure the exact time a gauze is recommended, maybe using one too much won’t help for the sensitivity? Maybe you can ask your doctor if using it too much slows down the process and see what he recommends :)

I think you are right the more I use it, the more my brain will get used to the sensitivity of the glans, I am Just waiting for the stitches to fall, they are too pricky

Don’t worry, stitches take time and we all heal differently. My stitches began to fall off at week 3, I’m currently getting at week 4 of the recovery and I’ve lost a bit over half of them, so hopefully I’ll lose them all soon.

Just be patient, you’ll heal up really well :)

how long should i go commando?

Santiago9324 in reply toHashiramaSenju

I never went commando to be honest. I always used tight underwear and placed it upwards pointing towards my stomach to help with the inflammation and help I get used to the new feeling

Was you pipí hypersensitive ?

Santiago9324 in reply toHashiramaSenju

I was very sensitive so I just tried to make it used to the new feeling. I know it’s not easy but with time it’ll get better :) If you can’t wear underwear all the time because of sensitivity maybe just try wearing it for some time and taking it off to rest from it a bit and keep going like that until it gets better:)

Oh and btw is your shaft still swollen? And do boners feel tight?

Santiago9324 in reply toHashiramaSenju

The first two and a bit of the third week it was swollen, but it has been going down as time goes by.

Respect to boners feeling tight, they felt tighter in the first week and kind of feel it’s getting a bit better but they still feel a little bit tight.

It’s something I’ll ask my doctor about in an appointment I’ll have soon, but if anyone else here experienced the same thing it would be great to know their experiences :)

Did the swelling come with pain the first two weeks? Cus I didn’t feel any pain. But today for some reason I feel it idk

Santiago9324 profile image
Santiago9324 in reply toHashiramaSenju

Yeah a bit, but it wasn’t that frequent.

Maybe your body is adjusting and it’s some sort of reaction to the healing process. Maybe just keep an eye on that if it’s bothering you too much and ask your doctor :)

Try not to force it or be too rough with it just in case :)

Santiago9324 in reply toHashiramaSenju

Oh buddy best advice I could give you is wear some tight, comfortable boxers or briefs and try to keep it in the same position, one you find is comfortable.

I wish you the best of luck in your interview!:)

Hi, The yellow liquid is Normal It's lymphatic fluid I would continue using some Dressings while your wounds weep. Keeping it in an upright position while you are wearing Boxer briefs Will help drain the lymphatic Fluid away And reduce swelling. Make sure to keep everything clean Using some salted water twice a day as well as having showers. If the stitches are annoying and getting Caught up in your clothes You can trim the ends that are sticking out.

I’m on day 5 do you still recommend that i keep it dressed? And placing it upwards realllyyyyy hurts the frenulum wound.

MrMac99 in reply toHashiramaSenju

Hi if it's too painful then no don't keep it upright. I would keep it dress with some Melolin non adhering and some gauze. but if your just at home it's ok to leave in the open. Things will be uncomfortable especially the first 10 days or so. All the best Man
