Ask your doctor if you are concerned, this way you'll know if everything is going well. For me it was a long process, it took me 8 months to recover to a satisfactory level (not feeling sore). I hope for you it's faster. I am very happy now.

Two weeks bro. Give it two weeks and you’ll feel like yourself again. Your penis will still be sore of course but you will feel fine (for the most part.) My stitches came out between 4-5 weeks. You’re gonna get hella erections that come with some pain but just try to relax and lay down for a bit. It’ll subside. Going to the gym and running? That may take a minute. 6 weeks for me before I actually felt like I was at 100%.

It’s been over a year since my cut and I’m the happiest I’ve been. The healing process takes months to be fully complete but bro it’s all worth it.

Hey bro, did you have the hypersensitivity in glans after the surgery ?

Absolutely man. Considering the head of my penis was never fully exposed at all times it definitely came with it’s fair share of sensitivity. I just had to force myself to wear loose boxers so the friction had no choice but to happen. It’s hella uncomfortable but you gotta get your glands used to touch/friction.

Thanks for your reply bro. I got my circumcision done 11 days ago. I am very very hypersensitive in the glance whenever i feel a touch down there . Even a small touch is making me scream cuz that much sensitivity. It’s really really unbearable and making me anxious. I want to get back to my normal life. Can you please tell me how long will this last or take to come back to normal ?

I didn’t have an intense amount of sensitivity but my advice would be to wear boxer briefs to keep your penis in place for a few weeks. To be honest bro the best time to try and get rid of all the sensitivity is in the shower. Try getting a wet washcloth and using it to apply drops of water on your glands. The best way to get over it is to just do it. It took about a month before it started feeling MUCH better. I know it sucks but it’s worth it.

Thanks guys. This helps. I've read the laser circumcision is the best to go for so that you get back to normal life 2 to 3 days later. Wish I had that option. I go back to the doctor in 5 days time. The area below the frenulam looks like it might be infected or like there's a pus pimple there which is making me worried. The cleaning part pains the most.

Take it slow brother, if you feel like pain is increasing day by day then definitely consult your doctor. My doc strictly advised against Laser circumcision saying it's a new process and although people say it is safe, it's still new compared to the age old incision process
