Hello everyone, I am on 8th week post circumcision. When I touch the scar line I feel a mild pain is this normal at this stage? Sometimes i get this pain with the contact on the underwear.

Is it a dull pain in the general area or a sharp stinging only at that spot? Also how is the feeling when you get erections and the skin on the penile shaft is stretched?

It’s more like a stinging pain on touch on the scar, when I get erections I don’t feel pain.

It’s likely just a hyper sensitivity because the incision scar is still healing on the inside bonding with the skin tissues.

One option is place the penis upwards against your torso pointing to the belly button as it will reduce the subbing on the scar and the glans (penis head). Over time it should get better

Dribbling and spraying is very common for some time after circumcision. Your body will heal and adjust. In the interim sit and pee if you can or stand closer to the urinal.

How long do u think dribbling is common like maybe 1 to 2 months?. I'm 5th week and I spray urine only in morning when I get up and am semi erect.otherwise my spraying is not common

Proper healing takes time. And everyone heals differently at different pace. Be patient.

Hey bud! Same here. I’m about 3 months and a half and I also feel the ocasional like poking or stinging when touched. I guess it’s just us needing to let the body internally heal and do it’s thing :)

Yes, please let it heal. Avoid stressing your body physically - avoid the old style masturbation since you no longer have the foreskin. If you use the old ways then it will pull the shaft skin and physically stress the scar. You should consider being more gentle and using lubricant like coconut oil

Thanks for you comment! Yes, you’re absolutely right. Skin is different now so we have to adapt to it. :)
