your penis needs support and protection. Get it wrapped ina sock or hankie. Wear snug fitting briefs… you can get a bulge enhancer or protector shield.

All this will keep it still and snug.

it’s so sensitive I can’t even put anything on, there are only a few stitches left

have you tried a bath with Epsom salts? Tried smearing the penis in Vaseline?

Mines was pretty brutal.

around 2 weeks yea. It does get better. At the time I regretted it due to the pain. Now I am glad it’s done.

yes mate. I cut my stitches out as that’s what was causing my pain. It was instant relief

James199977 in reply to Nelly19812022

not the ones on the top you removed tho? Coz those are the most painful

Nelly19812022 profile image
Nelly19812022 in reply to James199977

cut them all out. It hurt and bled but was instant relief so worth it

bro can I use vaseline instead of the steroid cream? To heal fast on the bruises and so it doesn't get stuck to my boxers?

Everything I've read says Vaseline can help. I would smear it all over gauze (I found the rolled gauze was softer than the squares of gauze) and place the coated gauze over the tip like a replacement foreskin. I had to do this until day 12. On day 13 I was just able to tough it out. On day 15 now.

My own experience is it takes a lot longer than the 7-10 days they tell you. Everyone is different but it took me 26 days to be comfortable wearing underpants again. I had a salt water bath every day. Reached a real low point, regretting the op, after 3 weeks when I felt it would never heal. But it does, so just stay patient and you will turn the corner.

My Doctor prescribed Diazepam 5mg to be taken before bedtime, but still had 3 or 4 erections during the night. I mentioned this to him and he said to increase to 10mg before sleeping. Check with your doctor. Hope this helps.

We all heal at different rates, but it does get better. The salt baths will help the healing process, keep them short and let your Surgery air dry.

I found tight underwear helped, they kept things still as movement meant pain ! You can take paracetamol and ibuprofen to ease things.

Good luck

Yes, you can use salt but Epsom Salts are better as they tend not to sting. See circinfo.com/post-op_care/c... for medically approved supplementary advice on post-op care.
