im crying everyday. when will the hypersensitivity go away after circumscision? i can't touch my penis

[Aarudon]

Please help me. I had grade 4 phimosis. I had never seen my glans before. The ONLY reason I got the surgery was that I was not able to have unprotected sex or get blowjobs because they were painful. I did circumscision + frenuloplasty.

Now that almost all of my pins have fallen and I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to remove my remaining pins, one question is killing me - when can I have normal sex again? The sensitivity is CRAZY high. I cannot touch it. I can't imagine my girlfriend touching it.

I don't want to be applying numbing spray to have sex for the rest of my life. I'm extremely scared. Can someone please tell me after how long can I be alright?

It might feel like it will never end, but I promise it does get better. I was cut on 18.7.23 and I couldn't even wear boxers for 2 weeks. Now it's been almost 3 months, and things are pretty much normal. I managed to put a condom on about a month ago, although slightly uncomfortable. It just needs time. When I finally was able to wear boxers, I covered my penis in vaseline and a bandage for the following few weeks to reduce the discomfort of it moving around when I walk. It can be mentally draining, but hang in there!

[Aarudon in reply to Carlover2]

thanks for the reply! Why did you get cut tho? Did you have phimosis? Were you able to retract/see your glans before the surgery?

[Carlover2 in reply to Aarudon]

Yes, I had phimosis. I had problems retracting my foreskin when erect. But when flaccid I could retract it to wash etc.

[Hidden in reply to Carlover2]

Same issue with boxers..im day 10! Good to know I'm not a unique case!

[user22]

Dude, it gets BETTER! I had the same issue and was freaking out big time. But eventually it gets better and the sensitivity goes away.

[Aarudon in reply to user22]

Thanks for the response! When did you get your surgery?

[Aarudon in reply to user22]

Also how much time it took for it to go away in your case? We’re you suffering from phimosis?

[user22 in reply to Aarudon]

Took a good few weeks before getting comfortable. But it takes months and months to fully desensitise. Just know that it gets getter each and every day…

[user22 in reply to Aarudon]

also get some nice tight, smooth boxers, ones without buttons etc. They add great support and made a MASSIVE difference for me…

[Ragekeyz]

It's definitely going to be uncomfortable and pain tolerance is different from person to person. I would recommend looking into getting

1. Vaseline

2. Male Drip Protection on Amazon or online somewhere. This is like a little pocket for your penis.

Use plenty of Vaseline and put the drip guard on. This will act as a barrier so there's not much rubbing and or friction between clothing.

I did this since I had to continue going to work and move around and it helped a lot.

Goodluck.

[Aarudon in reply to Ragekeyz]

Thanks for the response! How long has it been since you got your surgery?

[Ragekeyz in reply to Aarudon]

Going on my 6th month post op. For the first several weeks it was hypersensitive and it was extremely uncomfortable. But it will go away with time.

[Aarudon in reply to Ragekeyz]

Does it hurt when you masturbate or try to have sex now?

[Ragekeyz in reply to Aarudon]

It does not hurt. You will need lubrication moving forward now that you have no foreskin to assist. Overall, happy with post op will take some time for adjustment and also could take up to a year to see the full results according to my Doc and he is correct. It looks different each passing month.

[Aarudon in reply to Ragekeyz]

Thank you so much for replying! But i read online that if you try to protect your glans from touching the fabric, it takes even more time to heal. What do you feel? Also, does the drip protection hurt?

[Ragekeyz in reply to Aarudon]

Yes that is very true. But my job requires me to move around a lot so there was still touching/friction from walking driving etc the drip protection does not hurt it's just a little barrier to help with the hypersensitivity and as you get more comfortable you can use it less.

[Aarudon in reply to Ragekeyz]

Also have you ever tried lox gels or some other local anesthetic creams? I read online that you could try these if you want to have sex and it takes away all the senstations?!

[Skertchly in reply to Ragekeyz]

I wore a cricket batsman box. It helped stop abrasion

[NIMan38]

It will get better. I had to change the type of boxers I wore. I now wear tight with no seam trunk boxers. It holds the 'lad' in place and stops movement and friction

[Aarudon in reply to NIMan38]

I get it. I also wear a gauze around it and it prevents it from touching any clothing so it doesn’t hurt at all but when I touch it it stings. I can’t be wearing gauzes all my life

[NIMan38 in reply to Aarudon]

You won't have to do that. It just takes time. You will get used to it.

[Busha]

Normal bro. Will be normal, soon you gonna enjoy your sexual life. Orgasm after foreskin removal is way intense indeed. I got circumcised voluntarily after realised this. So nothing to worry.

[Jasper71]

it will be Ok - I was cut July last year and it’s bad for a few weeks… I went for the “tough it out” approach and just coped with the discomfort from about week 3… in a few weeks it’s just normal and you get use to it. A year on… it really is no problem at all and I just wish I’d had the op 20 years earlier!

[Aarudon in reply to Jasper71]

When you were toughing it out did you use any anaesthetic gels to reduce the pain? Also did you have phimosis before?

[Jasper71 in reply to Aarudon]

Had fairly bad phimosis and recurrent balanitis. For the first few weeks I used gauze squares coated with Vaseline in tight briefs… but could only cope for about 30/45 mins max dressed!! Then naked won the day! By about week three I was dressed and wearing normal clothes… sensitive but toughing it out. It’s difficult… but so you get over it quicker I think

[Aarudon in reply to Jasper71]

Wait what do you mean by 30/40 mins max? The gauzes started hurting or what?

[Jasper71 in reply to Aarudon]

From about day 2/3 I tried to go for a short walk each day… but I could only manage to wear underwear (or any clothes) for minutes at a time - I put Vaseline covered gauze over the glans, pointed my chap upwards and wore tight briefs. 30/45 minutes later is was ripping them off as was unbearable!

That stage only last weeks buddy. It gets better and now I have an amazing cock that I wish I’d had for years!

[Aarudon in reply to Jasper71]

Thank you so much for replying. You have no idea how much of a relief it is to read your comment. Thank you!

[jaglad]

It's been a few years since my Surgery but I can still remember the pain in those first few weeks. Tight pants to keep it still helped, then introducing gentle touch to build up resilience. It can take time, but you will get there.

[Aarudon in reply to jaglad]

How long did it take for you to feel okay touching it and no pain while having sex?

[jaglad]

It was at least six weeks. Starting with a condom was probably not the best idea but the next few times we used plenty of lube, which really helped. It does get better.

[Uncutdad in reply to jaglad]

I’m intact but sometimes wear a condom on just the head(handy for driving/jerking, no mess!). I wonder if that’s an option for sensitive head, providing it is healed?? You shouldn’t have the friction factor??
