Phimosis slow recovery after 3 month circumcision and experiences

[Aftercare]

Hi guys, Im 37 and in 17th January had a circumcision, I had a quit bad Phimosis, and I never see the head before. I had a very bad over-sensitivity in my whole life.

After the surgery it was really painful, I couldn't walk normally, and it was like an open wound. After 2 weeks my doctor allowed to water it, but it wouldnt possible to touch it or just wear any clothes. My solution for sleeping was to put a breakfast tray that can be used in bed over me and then I could use a blanket. Even after two months, the sensitivity did not reach the point where I could touch it, and the stitches came out completely only after 2.5 months.

What surprised me it was the continuous peeling on the head and the fact that the sensitivity did not decrease further. The swelling kept going down, but the pain was constant. Anyway, it didn't itch, normally if there was nothing to touch it wasn't any wrong with it, I didn't feel any problem.

A new doctor told me, it could be fungal infection, maybe a yeast, which does not allow the skin to strengthen, so I was given Pimafucort cream. With the help of this, I can now touch it after a week, it doesn't hurt, just a strange feeling. It worked wonders for me!

I didn't even regret the surgery at the beginning, because my previous complaints disappeared immediately, but now I'm really happy! I'm not at the end of my recovery, but I'd do it again without a word.

My advice to anyone who is about to undergo surgery is that the first few days are the hardest, after that everything will be much better. If painful hypersensitivity persists, you should definitely see a dermatologist. There is a situation where time alone does not help, you have to ask for help!

if you are comfortable discussing it further down the road once you’ve completely healed and restarted your sex life please let us know your feelings over your decision. I have a friend who didn’t have any physical issues had an extraordinary sex life prior to marriage but shortly after marriage decided for religious reasons to be circumcised. He came through the journey fairly well and quickly. I will continue this conversation with you further down the road if you like?

Hi aftercare. Did you have pinhole phimosis??

I have a bad case too and I am going for a circumcision on the 24th May.

I too haven't seen my head and I am really scared and nervous for the surgery

Yes, I had the same. Dont worry, it will be allright. jűJust be prepared that the first few days will be quite uncomfortable, have someone help you go home and be prepared that if you're like me, you won't be able to wear pants. Also find something to sleep on so you can put a blanket over yourself. Except for movement, if you rest, you won't have any pain. Ask the doctor everything that worries you! Write if you have any more questions.

Thats interesting about the fungal infection as i'm currently suffering from that. Im also 37 and had my circumcision done on December 15th 2022. I have a problem on the underside of my scar to 1 side, it keeps getting tender after sex and the skin goes dry in the area. I'm gonna contact the doctor soon as it seems something is'nt healing properly.
