'Uncomfortable sex' after circumcision

I am a older guy (early 60's) I had to have a circumcision 6 months ago now. How long should it take for my penis to heal completely? Its not intense pain by any means but when I have sex or masturbate my penis/wound area feels very uncomfortable when thrusting or using my hand? Anyone else experienced this?

No I didn't. I think you should consult your physician.

Hi Im 57 and just had mine done a week ago, did you regain full size again? I know it’s only been a week for me but it looks half the size it used to be?

Same for me. 3 months later the sausage returned to normal. Give it time everyone is different. Also a penis pump is a great investment will help the sausage return to normal. Just make sure the scars are healed. The pump will encourage blood flow back and promote the return to normal size.

Thanks mate that has put my mind at rest and I will definitely invest in a pump. Thanks again.

When soft it seems to have shrunk a bit but maybe that just because it looks different but certainly when its hard its the same size

You should really be ok at six months, but take things slowly, use plenty of lube and take a break if it hurts.
