8 weeks after circumcision, still in pain... is that normal?

[Lonestarr]

Still have painful erections... and painful to the touch where the stitching was.. Feels like too little skin remain and very stretched during erektions

Also some of the stitching that is subdermal is still not devolved as some part is visible on some reddish part of the new skin...

I sleep really bad and wake up several times a night

The glans are still somewhat sensitive moving..

It is normal mate, I am like this , too.Healing time varies man to man!

[Lonestarr in reply to HJ07]

Missay loves company... 🙂 I also did a penile straightening surgery at the same time... I think that could make it take months to heal completely underneath

[HJ07]

May I ask, if you had any type of fluid discharge around the incision, especially from the part under glans?

[Lonestarr in reply to HJ07]

Just normal fluids wounds produce.. no open wounds now though.. not for about 4 weeks but still very sore..

[anonburner123 in reply to HJ07]

ive been having fluid under glans, no smell, even went doctors to take a look and all is normal, just dry it up

[Lonestarr in reply to anonburner123]

Could the moisture have an adverse effect on healing? The healing should be under the skin ad the wound is closed

[anonburner123 in reply to Lonestarr]

my frenulum is gone and just under the glans is also exposed, i saw a doctor yesterday to have a look snd said it was healing fine but i cant speak for everyone. i noticed fluid twice across my last 5 days and it was minor, odourless and not bloody, just dried it off and all was good

[Lonestarr in reply to HJ07]

I've noticed some moisture just below the glans sometimes but I've just assumed it to be natural penile lubricant.. it doesn't have any smell that I've noticed...

the surgeon must have cut off too much skin and given you a high circumcision..it usually takes up to 3 weeks to a month to recover fully ..go visit your doctor maybe he can suggest you what to do

[Lonestarr in reply to Jaychw]

I did that after 4 weeks and raised some concerns.. he just said no.. and that all looked well.. of course my penis wasn't erect during his observation... could it maybe just be that it feels very stretched to me as it hurts in the part that's healing during erektions...

[Jaychw in reply to Lonestarr]

i can’t really shed light on that as I had a low cut but if the doc says so then I would go with his advise

[Lonestarr in reply to Jaychw]

maybe it could be some welling still ... i did penis streightening at the same time..

[Jaychw in reply to Lonestarr]

you could have waited for it to heal and then try stretching it out ..maybe that’s what caused the area to get worse

[Lonestarr in reply to Jaychw]

Erections sometimes are spontainious and i do get them several times a night.. it's hard to avoid it streching... hopefully its because of some healing needing to complete that just feels unconfortable

[jaglad]

8 weeks is a long time but not uncommon. I would advise tight underwear to reduce erections and paracetamol for the pain. When you feel ready introduce gentle pressure to the area for you to become accustomed to touch. The spray from the shower is a good starting point.

Good luck.

[Lonestarr in reply to jaglad]

Thanks... a lot of my pain stems from the fact that I did penis straightening surgery at the same time and likely takes longer to heal....

When flaccid the the back edge of the glands are a bit covered... I'm consurned it could delay the time to desensitise...

Masterbation is partly painful and just done in great need.. by only moving the skin.. touching the glands don't do anything

[jaglad]

I understand your need but I would lay off masturbating for a while if you can. If you have to, use plenty of lube and take it easy.

[Lonestarr in reply to jaglad]

Yes I'll try to onstain as it's hardly pleasant and only something I do when the sensation gets overwhelming...

I created a post focusing on my penis straightening earlier today also...

[Lonestarr in reply to jaglad]

I think the stitching isn't desolved yet either.. some of the healing skin is still inflamed
