So im 6 weeks now after my op id like to share with you my expereince for anyone else going through the same. I had a circumcision due to reoccuring balantis. Im 31 years old.
Waking up from surgery was scary. I was to scared to even look down there. So after 30mins of being awake i decided to look. Didnt see alot as it was coverd in a bandage. I was later discharged and sent home. Then thats where id experince the aftermath of the surgery.
Couldnt wash for 48hours. It was very uncomfartable to say the least. The night time erections were so painfull and tried my hardset not to get them but they still came.
After 48hours i removed my bandage. It wasent very good looking at it my emotions were all over the place. Thats when the problems started. I couldnt wear anything due to the head being really sensitive. It was painfull to say the least. The night time erections were still coming and still as painfull as ever. After a week or so i started wearing underwear it was still really sensitive but it was something i had to do to get my penis to normalise its new enviroment. At week 2 i started losing yellowy discharge which i thought was a infection and got checked out. Prescribed antibiotics as a caution but never needed them.
At about week 3 i started wearing clothes it was still quite senstive but i was gradually getting uest to it. It didnt seem so bad, the erection pain started to wear off. I could walk normalish started going for little walks now and again. Stitches had started to fall out.
In now at week 6 just had my 6 week check up and all is fine and healed doc is happy with it, its healed fine. The sensitivey has gone, im back wearing normal clothing / boxers back at work back at the gym. Theres still slight swelling but they can take up to 3 months but im happy with it all over. Can start having a sex life again, which im looking forward to trying out my new penis LOL. It is a long recovery but not as bad as i thought it would be. I stocked up on painkillers etc but only used 2 over the 6 weeks. The part i found worse was when taking the bandage off and not knowing how senstive your penis would be. Which id describe as a 10/10 for the weirdest and uncomfartable. But if your going through it now it gets better! Times a healer! Any questions feel free and good luck with your recovery! You will get through it.
Hello. Glad that everything is going well for you. I am now 4 weeks post op having some stings here and there because of the sensitivity but all is going well. Moat of the stitches have fallen as well. My question for you is do your erections feel smaller than before? Or am i just being paranoid about it?
Hi glad things are going well, yeah you still got the odd twinge now and again, i would say yes it does feel smaller but ive seen a few posts and here regarding that, it takes 3 months fully to heal, so im hoping at 3 months it will go back to normal, but people have said it goes normal after a certain amount of time. So your not on your own with that one.
For example I woke up today with an erection but it didn't feel as big as before lol
Mines the same mate, lets just hope it goes back to normal eventually!
