Any best practices to get rid of glans sensitivity after the circumcision?

[RockyKing]

Looking for suggestions from those who came across it.

The more the glans is in contact with clothing, etc the sooner your brain will accept it as normal and no longer register sensitivity. You basically just have to grin and bare it.

Got it, thanks

Just wait for few days

[RockyKing in reply to vicky503]

People mentioned in other posts that it would take months. That is the reason asked for tips.

I would agree with Roddythescot, you just have to tough it out. The more you cover it up or don't wear clothes, the longer it will take to get used to the sensation.

[RockyKing in reply to Hidden]

Got it. Hope the normal cotton wear is sufficient.

I found it ok most of the time. If I had to go somewhere walking, I sometimes slipped a clean handkerchief down my underwear for a bit of a cushion.

I’m in the same boat, I can’t have sex at all. Can do other sexual activity but I still have sensitivity, bad so I can’t have set, and I’m 3 months after the operation. Just have to grin and bare it as much as possible and it should hopefully resolve, but I know the frustration!

Do you have this sensitivity issue with condom as well?

[ml66uk in reply to EDBR_]

You could try using a condom, or even a "delay condom" (which is usually to prevent premature ejaculation).

If it's only 25 days since the operation, then it will probably fix itself, but there are numbing creams and sprays, and you could search for "underwear for circumcised men" or "manhoodcanada".

Thanks, will check this underwear

Sensitivity was the worst part of the recovery for sure. During one of my follow up appointments my doctor gave me some lidocaine which helped numb the most sensitive parts. Only had to use it a few times. I'm 4 months from my circumcision and sensitivity isn't an issue anymore

[RockyKing in reply to VanGuy33]

Thanks for informing. Another issue I am facing now is swelling after masturbation

[Vwhitedr in reply to RockyKing]

How long ago did u cut? It's recommended not to masturbate or have intercourse until 6 to 8 weeks after procedure.

[RockyKing in reply to Vwhitedr]

First time I tried to masturbate after 3 and half weeks, as my doctor suggested to do after 4 weeks. But this could be the reason as well…

Visited doctor last week and he advised to not to masturbate for another 3 weeks

[VanGuy33]

As mentioned I am more than 4 months past my procedure. I still experience some swelling after sexual activity and think this will be the case for a while

[RockyKing in reply to VanGuy33]

Hope this swelling is not a showstopper for sexual acticities.

[VanGuy33]

No it hasn't been - but I do need a little more time in between to recover. Let's just say I won't be having any all-day sex marathons in the near future.

I am wearing tight briefs and works around the house but if I try to walk normally outside it is painful. I am day 11. Running is my goal but seems a long way away
