Circumsion: week after surgery (stitches, urine jet)

Hey guys,

got my (radical) circumvision on the 1st of June and I have some questions. The stitches are dissolvable, some seem to be in the process of dissolving and some of them seem to be gone already. There is one little spot where it almost seems like there is a gap between both parts of the skin. Since I was at my doctors office two days ago and all was well and good I don't really wanna go again. When I did go all seemed quite well, but when I had a painful nighttime erection the other night I noticed this kind of gap. Just hypothetically: do you think, this little gap needs another stitching or can it close naturally in theory? I don't wanna go to the doctor, but I also don't wanna be the guy that waits a week with increasing pain, because a few days ago I had nearly no pain. Wasn't nice when the stitches came in contact with something, but now it hurts a bit more. Also: did you experience a change of your urine jet after circumcision? To me it seems that since the stitches are right under the glans the ring of stitches might kind of inhibit the later part of the urine stream ... But since the wound is still very fresh and the skin is relatively hard I can't change anything about it. Also it's relatively difficult to pee at all ... Can I wait or should I better go to the doctors office?

My guess is it'll be fine. One of my stitches left a gap but it healed over anyway. Difference in pee stream is normal and cures itself. Well, it did with me after about 2 to 3 weeks and others on here.
