Update - 19 days post circumcision

[Posthoodop]

The stitches are out! And it’s feeling so much better.

Just sharing an update, read my previous post for the starting journey. since then, it’s been quite an easy ish journey.

the hardest things for me were - the stitches were poking in my glans when I moved or got a semi, and my balls were hurting bad cause I hadn’t released since 2 days before the cut.

Night erections seemed to get better each night, the pain subsided and it just felt uncomfortable to the point I felt like I was awake all night on day 13 because I couldn’t think of anything else but how my balls were hurting and if there was a way I could stroke. I didn’t, but on night 14 I gave in and watched porn for like 45 mins and simply held my d without moving and bust a nut. It was crazy!

It wasn’t entirely enjoyable, I got a super big head at the point of climax so each shot was quickly followed by panic if I had done damage or will do on the next I tried my hardest not to tense - which was almost impossible. Thankfully no issues, just had to shower to clean up and check everything was ok it was and haven’t done anything since. Although my balls are starting to hurt again but will wait as long as I can!

From day 14 I had been messing with my stitches and untying them where I could to pull them out.

I had 15 originally, 1 came out stuck on the gauze day 2, from day 14 I got a couple of over the first couple days then yesterday I got the last 5 out because they were much more brittle. So last night was the first night sleep without stitches. The only thing that woke me up was multiple hardons that were rubbing on my boxers. Not uncomfortable just a new feeling.

I’m day 19, really looking forward to playing with it soon. couple of questions for those ahead of me

1, the swelling under the glans - will this get getter or go? (It’s both sides)

2, the scar line is quite hard and large - does this reduce and soften up at all? And Tips for scar control - should I be putting any pressure on the scar with bio oil to work it out a bit or soften it?

3, tips for first wank.

4, Any feedback on how the pic looks

Also, I’m happy to answer any questions

This group has been a great source for me - so thanks guys

Thanks for your update! For what it’s worth it looks like you’re healing really well, looks really good overall 😉 I’m only 12 days post op so a little behind ya.

Did you have a lot more swelling under the glans than in the pic? Mine is quite a bit more pronounced but I’m hoping it will start to go down eventually because it’s not a good feeling.

Also, was it painful removing the stitches? Mine have been poking and jabbing me like hell and I don’t think many, if any have dissolved yet. I’m hoping by the time I have my post op visit next week some will be gone or the doc will cut them, but I’m a wimp thinking removing them in any way might hurt pretty bad.

Hey mate. Thanks for your reply.

My swelling was a little bigger at the beginning but seems to have been this way for the last 5/6 days.

Taking out the stitches didn’t hurt too bad tbh. I just couldn’t cope with them sticking in me. The worst bit was moving them to loosen them but after a couple of days I’d had salt water baths for like 15 mins that made it easier, I cut a couple before pulling and yesterday they were clearly ready because they sort of fell out as I moved them. pulling them through oddly, I couldn’t really feel. I went real slow and I was in the shower.

Good luck with yours pal. I’m sure it will all be worth it.

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate the encouragement. I had started to get a little down mentally but as things have been improving my mood has been picking up.

Thanks for the info. I haven’t yet tried a salt bath so I’ll try incorporating that and see if I have any more progress with the annoying stitches.

I get how hard it can be mentally mate. Stick in there, things will get better. I used a couple of creams every day. Check out my first post. And I honestly think that helped. Especially the Chloramphenicol.

I still use Vaseline- just a little every day.

I used a small hand full of salt and just enough water to cover by d while I sat in the bath. Didn’t want to spend too long so did that and followed it with a quick shower. Not too hot.

I just spent time moving every stitch every day and as they became loser and if I could untangle them, I did.

I would just be super careful with what ever you do mate. Everyone is different.

Stay strong mate.

I hope your healing process continues smoothly.

For you all. The penis head is called the glans. It's a Latin word and a single form even there is 's' on end. You have glands too, but not in your penis.

I sent you PM.

Looks like you’re doing really well buddy!! I’m on day 41 so a few weeks ahead of you… I recognise and relate to all of your experiences so far.

1. swelling - I have swelling on the right side of my shaft and it’s getting smaller. My consultant told me it may take up to 3 months to go completely

2. Scar - someone else on her recommended contractubex.com/ for scar reduction. I’ve been using twice a day… but seems to be highly rated.

3. My first post op cum was a wet dream around week 3!! Like being a teenager again!! I decided at that point I needed to find a way!! Around week four with the aid of a lot of coconut oil I managed to just work the glans, completely leaving shaft and scar line alone! Very carefully - with thumb and forefinger as a loop I could wank with just the glans. Both times was quite explosive!! Something like a cross between a fountain and a volcano!!!

Have done that again - but most recent was with a damp finger and just massaging what was once my frenulum! Nothing so explosive… but quite special and kind of hands free!! Think you need to be reasonably well healed though!!!

4. Recovery looking good!! It gets better each day forward from here buddy!!

Thanks for the reply mate. Makes me feel better about the swelling under my glans.

I’ve never had a wet dream so not likely there. Tbh wish I was having them often right now 😂

Really need to work out what I’m going to do with the scar - I’ve been advised silicone strips, had a look at them and looks good, so think that’s a way to go.

Thanks mate - really appreciate your advise.

Looks great doctor did a great job

[Posthoodop in reply to Bj925]

Thanks mate. Hoping the hard ring (I’m assuming scar tissue) under my skin will soften
