6 weeks post Circumcision

I was circumcised 6 weeks ago today. I feel good. But we all know why each of us anticipated the 6 week mark. So I need some advice. Is my erection supposed to feel a little tight? Is my remaining skin suppsoed to be feeling tight? Especially on the incision line. Is the bumpyness of the incision line going to smooth out or does it stay like that? Doctor said there wouldn't be any scaring. And obviously I really really want to be able to have intercourse now... do you think it will be fine?

I also feel like the length is not the same but I feels it's due to tightness. Wish there was a flippen handbook

That sounds all pretty normal to me. I remember that tight feeling, but it does improve with time. Be careful with using it, my surgeon told me to use plenty of lube and wear condoms for a while.

Hey, I'm at the six week marker too. I don't have any issue with tightness anymore, but I do have a small amount of skin that folds over the rim of the glans.

This is uncomfortable because it folds the scar line, and means that my glans is not getting used to being fully exposed.

I've been back to the surgeons and they reassure me that this will tighten up and the glans will remain uncovered all the time.

It is worrying me because its so uncomfortable having the glans continually pop in and out. I also hate how it looks, and I'm just praying it sorts itself out so I don't have to have a revision.

I'm not sure I believe the surgeons as the swelling is not too bad now, and I think that not enough skin was removed.

Have anyone else had this issue, and it has resolved like they say it will?

Over 5 months now seems to be better..docs told me at least a year for the skin to be less flappy...I find using alot of lube b4 sex..

I'm just past the five week mark. I had a high-ish and tight and am experiencing this same kind of phenomenon. It's like the suture line (now healed) is bound to the shaft, which it might be superficially. The remaining inner mucosal lining, now on the outside because of the style I chose, is bunched up even when erect. I have yet to follow up with my surgeon. He was amazing, specializes in microsurgery and has impeccable reviews, so I've given to just trusting the process and assuming an eventual return to normal size and function. I found on another site that a few men were reporting that at about 3 months, the skin loosened from the shaft and was able to move freely on the shaft and they regained their pre-op size. I'm hoping this is my experience as well.

This thread is a few weeks old, have any of the commenters or OP experienced any changes since posting/replying?

Howsit, the tightness is much better the bumps are less bumpier now and the sex is better. Lots of lube. I don't know about you guys. I keep getting random uncontrollable hardons and I can hardly go commando anymore because of this. Anyone else having the same issue? Well not issue situation rather

Not what you're looking for?
