Erection post circumcision

Had circumcision around 12 days back. Currently stitches are still in place. Looks to be healing okay.

When was the first time you have had complete erections after circumcision was done ? Rn I'm not and also there a bluish colour on the edge of th glans.

Like it used to be when I pulled foreskin back when I had phimosis. Anybody faced this?

Hi Lukegraham.

I am going for a circumcision on the 24 May due to phimosis. I am a 35 years old and have to go do this.

How was your experience and was the pain levels moderate or did you find it painful I am really scared and nervous.

Hey man, I totally understand the feeling.

So my procedure took about 30 min and I was sent to my room after that. After the surgery they do a tight dressing over the stitches so that it heals fast.

There was considerable but manageable pain for about 12 hours. After that it drastically reduced . After going home I only wore very loose clothes for 4 days p. I was given antibiotics for 5 days and painkillers - ibiprofin to use when needed. I used the painkiller sometimes, probably 3-4 times till now in 14 days.

I then visited the surgeon for a follow up, He then examined and removed the dressing. You may have some pain after that , probably for 3-4 hours , still manageable pain.

After this the recovery started and is on track till now . In 14 days some (50%) or the stitches have dissolved and the rest will soon. There is no pain at all. Except when the stitches get stuck or touch the clothes .

All in all, ik it's scary but it's a good option . Try consulting your urologist to see if you can try something before circumcision to wase your case

ask them what type of cut you're getting, and ask for the one that isn't super tight. So that there's room for your penis to grow. I didn't and my erection is shorter, I'm worried, but it's still early in the healing process, relatively. 18 days post op

I'm also 35, tight foreskin/frenulum

Are stitches dissolvable ? They should be coming out by now.

I did everything I could to avoid full erection before six weeks.

Sorry can't be more help.

Yeah they are dissolvable. 50% of them have been dissolved

Sounds like you progressing nicely. The pain will subside in time, introduce gentle touching, water from shower is good. I use cocoa butter to keep the head moisturised. Some prefer the head to kerotanise, personally I like it the way it is.

How's your length looking? I'm a grower not a shower and I've lost about 1 inch. Kind of worried but also understanding that it's not been very long since the clip. I'm on about day 18. Still have a few stiches in along my frenulum, and a decent sized scab.

Yeah I felt the same but I'm just assuming that maybe because of stitches the erection is not complete or something. Cuz it doesn't make any sense otherwise and length decreasing is not possible.

I'm on day 26 and still have quite some stitches left. Doc said just keep washing and they'll dissolve slowly

yeah that's how i'm feeling mostly. stitches are out completely now, but still tender along the scar stitch line. Used bio oil (name brand) and it seems to loosen things up a little

Not what you're looking for?
