Hello , I’m 19 and just got my circumcision yesterday due to phimosis, the pain isn’t too bad , however the glans are very sensitive which is unbearable. I still have my gauge on and probably need to take it off after 2 days. I’m afraid of taking a shower because it might cause my pain worsen and I don’t want to use a towel to wipe off my sensitive glans. Please anyone got any advice?

sensitive glans after a phimosis circumcision
Hey! I got my circumcision done on 7th june and its 3 rd day today. I don’t have pain as well but yes on 1st and 2nd day glans were very sensitive, couldn’t even touch it. Today my doctor removed my dressing and cleaned any remaining blood. He told me to shower from 4th onwards. He also told that the frequent rubbing of glans over clothes etc helps it to desensitise quickly.
I am taking it slow and steady, would bot take a full bath for atleast 7 days. sponge bathing. Also he prescribed some ointment to numb the glans and betadine to apply on stitches. I would do it now. Doctor said to not think about it much it will heal slowly.
Also guys I’m noticing a slight discharge slightly red but not bood. Any idea what is it ?
How’s your ointment for your glans, how does it work out so far for u
The ointment is basically a local anaesthesia to numb the area for 3-4 hours. I will wait to use it until I absolutely need it. Almost 3.5 days since my circumcision i feel a lot better after the dressing removal. I applied betadine on the stitches area.. only a bit very carefully and let it alone. The sensitivity is still there but brother let’s give it its own time to recover! Don’t wipe your glans or stitches. Use a sterilised cotton guaze to pat it dry that’s it for a week. Slowly we’ll move ahead when comfortable!!
Also lets keep updating each other here daily!
I’m from India btw ! Where are you from??
Do u think I can put a gauge around my wound or just leave it open? Im from Canada btw.
I had it covered for 3 days and today my surgeon removed it and told me let it remain open! He said me to wear light boxers and do not worry if the cloth touches! I had a standard stitch circumcision btw!
What type of circumcision did you have??
I believe I have the same circumcision as yours. Like a partial circumcision for phimosis problems
The nurse also told me to take the gauge off on my own , or should the doctor do that for me I wonder
Hey bro I’m 19 as well got my circumcision on March 23rd it’s been about 3 months now, when I got the surgery I had very sensitive glands and didn’t take a shower after 42 hours with oh they recommend to wait but just be careful and fragile with it and. Use dermatologist wipes if you want to clean your self up nothing will happen trust me you’ll be good bro :))
How long did it take for u before going back to normal daily life
Took about 7 weeks
Was there any issues with showering for you? My doctor said I can shower however do not wet the penis too much just damp it a bit .
I got my circumcision on the 5th of June, I am using coconut oil daily for 3-4 times and this is really helping me for the sensitive glans. Trying cleaning the area with wipes and cover it with a gauge.
So is it better to wipe the glans instead of showering?
I would say showering is no issue at all after 5 days.Dont apply any soap on the penis, just normal water. After shower apply coconut oil on the top and near the ring/stitches.
Post that cover the frenulum with the gauge.
It works very good for me.
Hi Man please do shower on your third day this is extremely important you remove the bandage and apply clean fresh salty water all on the penis. After your third day you can have quick showers which are extremely important to keep you clean to reduce your chances of getting infections and helps to speed up healing.
If you can continue wearing bandages with Vaseline fit at least 1-2 weeks changing it twice a day after quick showers. Sensitivity will reduce on time. I’m your age I got cut last year trust brother you’ve got this man.
Do you just wipe ur penis with towel after shower, cuz I’m afraid of making it worse. And do u think coconut oil helps?
Just wondering if anyone is having problems which ur glans stick to your underwear sometimes
What do you apply to your penis when it sticks or does it just stick naturally. When was you cut also? Mine does usually after applying bio oil
It’s like before I applied maybe cuz it was too dry or sth. Another thing is after I applied the oil it felt it little burning when the glans were touching the cloth but the sensitivity did go down quite a bit
Right just see how you go. Burning sensation what oil you applying and when was you cut? May I suggest to you that you wash the penis over the sink or shower before applying any moisturisers to the penis I found this helps to get the glans prepared for bio oil etc but make sure you dry it well
I kinda feel like the coconut oil is making it more sensitive
When the glans gets moist you are correct the sensations come to life if you feel like you would prefer the sensitivity to decrease you can allow the glans to dry out more or you can bare through it and trust me you will get used to it and it will get more comfortable so when it rubs it’s not bad like and your penis will get used to it sometimes you may feel the rubbing which is a good sign I believe. I keep my penis moist 24-7 and j tell you what my penis is great offers great sensations when played with and it now lets me know when I must intervene and sort it out wash and apply bio oil etc once applied I can walk nice and comfortably cushions the glans very nicely while my glans stays nice pink soft and moist not dried up crusty with lines.
You can take bath after 1/2 days..avoid using shower..use bucket ... slight warm water only ... and post that you need to do minimum dressing on your own for 10 days and always cover your tip with a soft cloth (for a month)
Hang in there the sensitivity will go I waited 2 days to shower and when I did I stood with my back to the shower and let water run down over my shoulders.
Sup I got mine about a month ago for the same reason. My doctor didn’t give me any ointments or anything because I never had pain as long as I moved carefully. The sensitivity went away after 3 weeks. It’s a time thing. It’s still “sensitive” I guess but I touch and rub it without the “stubbing my toe but replace the toe with my penis” or the “electric shock through the body “sensation 😂. It’s a time thing don’t worry abt it, just be careful about how you move and walk. IM WARNING U cuz it caught me off guard. Ur gonna have yellowey goo and a AWFUL smell come from there later. It’s normal, just be ready, it smells worse than poop.
Usually if it is yellow and smells bad that’s a sign of an infection should be careful
Not always that yellow stuff is lymph. Bad smell is a good sign of an infection or just not cleaning enough down their. After day 3 daily showers at Least 2 a day is good to minimise the risk of infections. Using daily bandages twice a day with gauzes with Vaseline will help very much
Warm salt water in a jug is essential if you shower or bath
