Do all you can to avoid day erections (distracting the mind etc) and sleeping on your side in the foetal position can help at night.Make sure you empty your bladder before bed. Sometimes a night erection can be a sign we need to go to the loo.

Some think an ingredient in Sudafed or Codral may reduce night wood but others are unconvinced: check with your doctor/surgeon.

If you are concerned about the wound, check with your doc/surg/medical team. If you are not bleeding, the swelling is reducing and there's no bad odour from the wound, these are all good signs.

What you are experiencing is all part of the process for men circumcised as adults...we have to cope with the pain/discomfort of a part of our body being stitched up that can change shape whenever it chooses - but at least during the day we have some control.

Bathing the wound in salt baths (if that is the advice you got post op) helps healing and reduces infection risk.

Best of luck Mate...it does improve but as you know it's 6-8 weeks for most guys before things settle down to the new normal.
