3 weeks after surgery and every single stitch ripped out. As well as having too much skin removed, leaving me with the entire thing progressively popping more stitches until all were lost. Half of the skin from my shaft was cut off. Hearing the clamps ratcheting closed as hard as humanly possible to try and salvage my surgery, was terrifying... the sigh he made.. urrrgh... anyways I have a 1/4" wide open wound around d the entire middle of my shaft. I have never felt more let down in my life. Had emergency stitches days after... by the surgeon, and been to hospital 2 times
Emergency doc told.me to report him to college of surgeons. Her eyes wide as though she seen a ghost made me cry. I can't get a hold of the surgeon. Anyone experiencing similar issues... my heart goes out to you.

Do you have photos? That is extremely depressing and I feel for you. I don't understand how that would be possible. I have bad BXO that that I have to make a decision on and it's the risks of mistake that have me also concerned. You will probably need a skin graft i assume.
Hi Alex Not sure where your location is but I had a circumcision at the age of 60 due to medical reasons to cut a long story short I was cut to short by 6cm
But please go and seek help don't just accept it I had reconstruction surgery to have the shortage sorted whilst not a easy or quick process the outcome is well worth the effort
Thanks bro, Kelowna canada. Is my home. I've been making bad decisions and getting angry. I came on here to share to help and possibly not feel so alone. Thank you. I wish I could shake your hand for the response. I'm doing everything I can.
Every doctor tells me to wait and see.... absolute nonsense.
So sorry .... but as long as they get their fee ... doctors really don't give a damn. Men in your situation opt for foreskin restoration exercises ... which gradually add new skin cells to remaining tissue ... You can tug until you get the amount of new tissue you want ... and if that is your wont ... even an entirely new foreskin ... See:
I'm still dealing with for 2 years now. Started as a small whitish skin line that widened and got longer till it went around the shaft. Right where your thumb wraps around your peter haha. Where it tears in little places stings to touch like a rug burn with vinegar or alcohol on it. If I don't touch my dick by any type of stretching or pulling such as masturbation, it seems that BXO will heal and not really progress too quickly. If however you are constantly tearing and irritating the area the area, then it seems that more scar tissue develops and the bxo continues to spread. After 2 years mine doesn't seem to be spreading that much. The scaring that is rough/bumpy like sand waves is from all the tears and healing. At the same time I say this, it seems to get smoother once it heals so I think this will go away because what I'm feeling is actually it is actually small scabs. Dr's gave both clear and white steroid cream to start off. First the clear, then the next doctor said use the white.. Strong stuff that did nothing for me. My skin when erect cannot be pulled back all the way now. I would tear it if so. It's like an elastic around 1/2 way up the shaft. They cannot simply cut the ring and attach the skin on both ends either because the blood flow on the upper half towards the head could not be restored I was told. They have to cut it from below the ring up to the head. My my urologist said it would be 90% removal of the foreskin. However however the ring plus an hour plus another inch below should leave me about 40% so I'm not sure why they want to cut that much beside the reason they want to make sure the BXO does not return.. BXO can return regardless though is what I've read. I am going to stretch the skin that has scarred in my bxo ring using a tool that I'm building and then I'm going to see if it will heal in a stretched position rather than heal when it is flassed. My thought is that if I keep it stretched and it heals, then it will not rip the next time because it will not have to stretch anymore. Just so you're clear, I am not circumcised but I'm at the stage of having to potentially consider it for health reasons. When every doctor simply says steroid cream or circumcision, it just brings a red flag to my head and I am curious to know if there are alternatives. When I developed my little stretcher and use it for a while, I will let you know the result. This is a long message but I'm trying to be thorough. I do notice Under the Skin little white spots heading towards The head of my penis but I have plenty of time before I think it would be a risk to my urethra or anything serious like that. Correctly single so not really missing out on sex sucks but I have had sex in the current state and it wasn't that bad.Foreskin is extra thickness around the penis so I really don't want to lose it, it's also natural lubrication so I never need to carry thuh carry Vaseline with me or spit every 2 minutes, and the skin bunches up during sex creating even more girth and I recently was told by someone I slept with that I was the only person who gave her an orgasm after years of marriage and I can't help to think I owe thanks to my foreskin for all it does to make me and others happy.😁
To summarize your question. My recommendation is to see a urologist right away, get on a steroid cream and use it regularly, make sure you clean your skin, dry it well constantly because if you have any type of Auto immune concerns such as aids, diabetes, or other autoimmunity related concerns, see your doctor as well as these are identified as possible reasons for BXO. They're not really sure, it could be genetic or hygienic reasons that cause it. I was stressed out when I got it. Was on anti-depressants which affect the immune system and I couldn't get an erection one day which frustrated me to masturbating to a point that I ended up getting some friction burn and that led to what looked like was just a little scar but ended up growing on its own until it became a full ring about an inch wide that doesn't stretch like the rest of the skin. If I use 2 fingers inside of my foreskin and pull out words, I find the skin has a little more flexibility or flexibility but over time that is lost again so this is what spun the idea to create something that would stretch the skin and remain in place so that the skin could heal stretched.
Thank you for the response, I was told.by 3 separate doctors that the healing is too far to add stitches and my next step is reconstruction after reporting him Or just be ok with it....so I'm too far along to change anything now
.. now it's the waiting game.
Try the solutions proposed here and take look at Foregen.org They working on methods of reversing circumcision and might be helpful for botched guys like us..
I loss a lot of skin and my erectile function greatly because of it along with pain like something pulling on tissue where the frenulum area was
Are you going to bring it up to your doctor? I'm reading a lot of doctors who seem to be making mistakes but nobody seems to be taking much action from the post. I would be outraged if my doctor couldn't couldn't do a circumcison. I know I'm simplifying it but it doesn't seem like a surgery that would cause them much difficulty. It's like they don't know how to suture or make a measurement
